We were so lucky to have Madeline as our tour guide. She has such a wealth of knowledge and hearing about the many layers of history in Galveston has left such a lasting impression. I'll never look at Galveston the same way again. We had a blast on the tour. Madeline made it fun, interesting and memorable. We were just going for an evening walk on a cold night. We ran into Madeline's tour, signed up at the last minute and our evening suddenly became extra special! I look forward to going on another tour!This was a great tour! Our guide kept us intrigued and wanting more. Her knowledge of Galveston and its history seemed limitless. Our interactions with her were fun. I loved the stories she told us and how she could tell you the history of the all the buildings we walked by. We entered a few of t...
This was a great tour! Our guide kept us intrigued and wanting more. Her knowledge of Galveston and its history seemed limitless. Our interactions with her were fun. I loved the stories she told us and how she could tell you the history of the all the buildings we walked by. We entered a few of them where she was able to point out certain things and its history. We didn’t see any ghost but that doesn’t mean they weren’t there. Five Stars for sure!We booked the Ghost tour online for two adults. The site said to be at the cemetery 15 minutes before the tour (8pm). We arrived 1/2 hour before the tour was to start. At 815pm we tried to call Ghost tours of Galveston, but got an answering machine that was full. We tried to email the company...
We booked the Ghost tour online for two adults. The site said to be at the cemetery 15 minutes before the tour (8pm). We arrived 1/2 hour before the tour was to start. At 815pm we tried to call Ghost tours of Galveston, but got an answering machine that was full. We tried to email the company but received no response. We called our credit card company (Citibank Visa) from the cemetery at 840pm to stop the charges. Another tour company showed up at 9pm for another tour and after telling our story to them they graciously allowed us to join their group. When we got home we officially disputed the charges and were told Ghost Tours of Galveston has a NO refund policy. We are VERY disappointed with both companies......This isn't a ghost tour so much as a walking history tour of Galveston. The lady that gave the tour was very nice but not what we were expecting at all. Nothing remotely "ghosty" or scary about this tour at all. We were very disappointed.

Massive thank you to our tour guide Madeline who came out on the COLDEST night of the year (during the 2022 December freeze) to give us a great talk about Galveston history and ghosts! We were the only two people registered for the tour and she could have easily cancelled and stayed home and warm. This was a really great tour, an excellent introduction to some Galveston and Texas history as well as a really interesting history of ghostly experiences on the Strand. Our guide was BOI (born on island) and knew so many people who work downtown that she was able to tell us some of their firsthand experiences with the local hauntings. We came away with some great stories to tell, new businesses to visit on her suggestion to do some ghost hunting of our own, and lots of interesting tidbits to follow up on. Excellent experience for the price, definitely recommend!A Galveston Ghost Tour is one of our yearly Thanksgiving traditions. This is a great operation and the tours are enjoyable. The tour guides are informative and entertaining. On this particular trip we also had a chance to experience their customer service for a minor issue (our fault not theirs)....
A Galveston Ghost Tour is one of our yearly Thanksgiving traditions. This is a great operation and the tours are enjoyable. The tour guides are informative and entertaining. On this particular trip we also had a chance to experience their customer service for a minor issue (our fault not theirs). They were highly responsive and went above and beyond what we expected. It's good to know that the "back" office is just as professional as the "front" office (the tour ...). We will be back next year.
