    This tour was an amazing experience. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and interesting. In addition to learning about the history of Juneteenth on Galveston, we learned about the black community on the island in the past and present. I highly recommend.

    This tour and knowledge shared with my family was amazing. I look forward to my family from out of state coming to visit so I can take them on this tour. Wealth of history shared. Dr. Sorrell is awesome. Well worth the cost of the tour.

    I’ve been to Galveston many times and thought I had a handle on Galveston history … but this tour thoroughly deepened my knowledge of the island. Our host was very knowledgeable and passed along lots of informative and fascinating info I hadn’t heard before. This tour is a must for any Galveston visitor and has my highest recommendation.
