There wasn't many ghost stories, and the stories we got were from some AI posts on social media with videos we watched. The tour guide was very nice though.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re glad to hear that your guide was nice, but we’re sorry the storytelling did not meet your expectations.
Our tours are designed around researched local history, haunted legends, and ghost stories tied to the locations visited on the route. We take feedback like this seriously and will review the experience internally to make sure the tour is being delivered in line with our standards.

Ryan was so beyond knowledgeable. The walk was very enjoyable and got to see a lot of the city and got to see some local animals too!

We had a good evening wandering around Galveston, however, there is more focus on the pub crawl element rather than the ghost tour.
We didn’t get to go into any of the old buildings (aside from the pubs), but our guide showed us a lot of photos on his iPad.
We got some good insight into the history of Galveston and found some good drinking establishments along the way.

Our tour guide was great. He kinda had a rough start with a different kind of guests. He kept it together. I enjoyed listening to the history of galveston. My husband and I will try more of the tours when we come back again!
Sherry_R, Apr 2026
Ryan was super knowledgeable and told some great stories! He also has personal relationships with the proprietors so it was a lot of fun to feel welcomed by locals. I would highly recommend!

If you’re looking for a fun, unique way to experience Galveston at night, the Haunted Pub Tour is an absolute must. This tour perfectly blends local history, spooky storytelling, and laid-back bar hopping.
Our guide was fantastic—super knowledgeable, engaging, and just the right amount of theatrical to keep things entertaining without feeling over the top. Each stop had its own eerie backstory, and it was fascinating to learn about the island’s haunted past while actually standing in some of the locations where these stories originated.
The pace was great, giving us enough time to enjoy drinks, explore each spot, and soak in the atmosphere without feeling rushed. The pubs themselves were full of character, and it made the experience feel even more authentic.
Whether you’re into ghost stories or just want a different kind of night out, this tour is a perfect mix of fun and chills. I’d definitely do it again next time I’m in Galveston!

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...

The guide was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of history. The drink suggestions were spot on, very good! This is a must if you’re visiting the Strand in Galveston.
Dawn_R, Mar 2026
Great tour! We saw a part of Galveston we had no idea existed, and the history was fascinating! No wonder the city is haunted. Ryan was our tour guide and we really enjoyed his stories and pictures! Oh, the bars we stopped at were great!! Definitely recommend

Super fun! Great way to explore The Strand and learn about history of the floods. And architecture as well as the haunting.
Essence_M, Feb 2026
Great bars, with great drink recommendations. Great tour guide with knowledgeable historical information. Had a great time and would recommend.
Tye_W, Feb 2026
A great way to experience Galveston history. Robert was a wealth of stories creepy and historical. Galveston's colorful and tragic history makes for "layered" ghost activity.
Tracey_C, Jan 2026
No your guide ever showed you. We are still waiting for a refund approval. We will keep trying to get a refund.
Robin_D, Jan 2026
Fun tour to do in Galveston. Learned about some of the history. Tour guide was fun and knowledgeable.
Kelly_R, Dec 2025
The Haunted Pub Crawl was wonderful. We learned so much about local lore. The best part of the whole tour, though was our tour guide Ryan. He was very knowledgeable and personable. We bonded very quickly. Next time I'm in Galveston, I will take the tour and request Ryan.

Kelly_P, Aug 2025
Our guide was informative about the ghost stories however I think I told her more about the town sites then she knew. She wasnt able to suggest any places that weren't on her tour. I was very sad as this is how we get to know the town is by doing the tour on our first day here.
Response from Host, Aug 2025

My wife and I had a great time with Star as our guide and the 2 other ladies that were on the tour. Star was very knowledgeable about the locations that we visited and she was very friendly and answered all of our questions. We all laughed and had a ball on the tour. We highly recommend that any adults that are wanting to have a fun evening out, to give the pub tour a chance. Thank you for an enjoyable evening.
