Glad you enjoyed the tour.Thank you for the 5 stars.We appreciate that you're taking the time to write.Glad Tyler took you on an awesome adventure.I'll hope to see you again soon
Tyler was our tour guide he was so good we learned a lot. He even shared with us his own personal experience at Normandy Inn and showed us BY FAR the most jaw dropping picture of a ghost. Definitely never forgetting that photo. It was crazy to know how day to day life goes on ALL while on top of 15,000 bodies and how weekend wedding vows ar exchange on top of another mass grave. We have been talking about our tour for 2 days now and already gathering a group to go back again. This is WORTH the trip and worth checking out.

This was our first ghost tour , so we had no idea what to expect. To our surprise, the tour provided a great deal or history, legend, and lore about the island. Our tour guide, Tyler, was very knowledgeable and made the history of Galveston come alive. He also did a great job of sharing stories regarding the paranormal at each stop. Great experience!
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Wow what a great review was thank you, we appreciate the 5 stars.Glad that Tyler took you out an awesome adventure.Will see you soon
We were in town for a work function and thought it might be a fun group activity to go on a ghost tour. There is a lot of history in this area and our host shared some very interesting facts on the island as we walked. There was plenty of time to stop for photos and to look around the outside of some of the places we stopped. While we didn't see any ghosts, we all enjoyed the experience and would recommend it to others.
