Mike was fun. Very Informative. Highly recommend taking one of his tours. Variety of pubs to stop at… Made it a fun night… 🍺😊👻
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re so glad you had a fun evening with Mike—he has a great way of mixing history, laughs, and local flavor into every crawl. We appreciate you joining us and hope to see you again for another spirited night out in Galveston!

Dress comfortable!!! the distance from start to finish is not far, but comfortable shoes will make a difference. When you get to the start point, get a drink to take with you during the tour. You will get a chance for photo ops at each location as well as a sunset photo at the rooftop bar at the Tremont hotel. Be prepared to learn something new because Rob has a lot of knowledge to share. Have fun!

Thank you so much for the awesome review! We love the tips—comfortable shoes and a drink in hand definitely make the experience even better. Glad you enjoyed the photo ops, that rooftop sunset at the Tremont is hard to beat! And we’ll be sure to pass along the kind words to Rob—he’ll appreciate it. Come back and crawl with us again soon! 🍻

There weren't a lot of ghost stories. It was more about the mob and prostitution. That was disappointing.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thanks for your feedback. We try to share the most interesting stories for the particular set of bars that we visit per night, so we apologize that it didn't exactly meet your expectations. Please come back to join us on one of our highly popular ghost stories only tours!

Tomas was knowledgeable but this crawl was anything but haunted… expected to hear some scary history… all that was talked about was the red light district.
Response from Host, May 2025
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand that the focus on Galveston's Red Light District during the tour might not have aligned with your expectations for a ghost-themed experience. While some tours, like the Dark of the Moon tour, blend elements of both the Red Light District history and paranormal stories, others concentrate more on one aspect. For a tour that emphasizes ghostly tales, you might consider the Ghost on the Strand tour, which delves into the haunted history of the Strand area

A really pleasant night out walking with a knowledgeable local who shared many interesting and historical stories. We loved the architecture, the many different thirst parlors and would recommend it to others.

Mike our tour guide was fantastic and extremely knowledgeable about Galveston history. The stops were great and the drinks were fantastic. Would highly recommend for anyone interested in the history and how Galveston was the number 1 brothel place in America.

It was a great tour, and it was really neat hearing the history of the town and the major influences of the city that we otherwise would have never heard. Mike was great and even made sure that we got back to our car safe at the end of the tour

Did the pub crawl with a few friends who are visiting from Kansas City. It was a lot of fun and our guide, Mike, was so cool and he really knew his stuff!
We stopped at local bars and he was able to recommend us great drinks while doing the tour. A really cool experience.
