Great Experience
The tour was awesome. The guide gave a great tour which not only included dolphins, but also history of naval and shipping vessels of the coast. He was funny, joking, and family friendly. Everyone got to see dolphins as he know their routines based on the tides and season. Overall very fun experience for the price.

Wonderful tour guide and very informative tour!
Ryan was an awesome tour guide! He was very knowledgeable and personable. My sister and I greatly enjoyed the tour and highly recommend it. We had so much fun with the group of people on our tour! Be aware that there is a great deal of walking involved so beware of footwear you choose for the tour...

Dr. Sorrell is a crown jewel!!
This is my first trip back to Galveston in over forty years, so I had to make sure to locate a fully immersed tour experience. This absolutely didn’t disappoint❤️ If you’re looking for a tour that doesn’t just show you Galveston—but moves you—the Juneteenth and Beyond Black History Van Tour absolutely delivers. From the moment you step into the air-conditioned van, you can feel this isn’t going to be a typical sightseeing experience. It’s immersive, personal, and deeply meaningful. The tour is led by passionate, highly knowledgeable guides who don’t just recite facts—they bring history to life with storytelling that’s vivid, emotional, and unforgettable. What makes this tour exceptional is how it connects you to the real story of Juneteenth—right where it happened. As you travel through Galveston, you visit powerful landmarks like Reedy Chapel, the Juneteenth marker, and historic cultural sites along the Strand, each one layered with stories of resilience, struggle, and triumph.  And instead of feeling like distant history, it feels immediate—like you’re standing in the very moments that changed lives forever. The small-group setting makes a huge difference. It creates an intimate, almost conversational atmosphere where questions are encouraged, and every guest feels included. Many visitors say it feels less like a tour and more like a shared journey through time—one that leaves you reflecting long after it’s over. And then there’s the impact. This isn’t just informative—it’s eye-opening. Guests consistently describe the experience as powerful and enlightening, often saying they learned stories and perspectives they were never taught before.  One reviewer captured it perfectly: it’s like “stepping out of the darkness of ignorance into the light of knowledge.” By the end, you don’t just leave with facts—you leave with a deeper appreciation of Galveston’s role in American history and a renewed respect for the legacy of Juneteenth itself. Bottom line: Dr. Araminta provides an unforgettable experience!! This tour is a must-do. It’s thoughtful, moving, and incredibly well-executed—a five-star experience that educates your mind and stays with your heart. Protect Dr. Amarinta at all costs ✊🏾✊🏾❤️❤️

Though some people assume Texas' favorite vacay hot spot is all about the beaches and fun in the sun, these Galveston tours can help you unlock some of the city's historical intrigue, which was once a bustling immigration port considered the “Ellis Island of the South.” Take a spooky tour to learn of the ghosts that are rumored to haunt the island, a century after the US' most deadly natural disaster, or learn about the history of Juneteenth, which all started right here in Galveston.
