Itinerary
Your late-night Galveston excursion begins at a departure point conveniently located in the center of town. Set off on foot accompanied by your guide, who’s well-versed in the city’s history—especially its spookiest and most supernatural chapters.
You’ll discover a side of Galveston that few other visitors get to see when you explore the island’s historical cemeteries. Visit highlights like the Broadway Cemetery, Trinity Episcopal Cemetery, and the Yellow Fever Yard.
As you go, keep an eye out for any unexplained or ghostly happenings, with cameras at the ready. Your guide will share creepy tales, and thanks to their local knowledge, will take you to the spots where you’re most likely to have a spooky encounter.
Finally, this short-but-sweet tour finishes at the start point for maximum convenience.

Thank you for the fantastic review! We’re so glad you enjoyed all the history, stories, and spooky atmosphere of the Haunted Cemetery Tour. Sounds like the orbs added a little extra excitement to the night! We really appreciate the recommendation and are happy you had such a fun time exploring Galveston with us.
the cemetery history was wild and disturbing. Made me uncomfortable, knowing all that had happened to the dead. though me and my family didn’t experience anything paranormal on the tour, I could easily see how many would. Definitely worth trying out.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience! The history connected to Galveston’s cemeteries can definitely be unsettling, and we’re glad the stories made such an impression. Paranormal experiences can vary from night to night and person to person, but we’re happy you and your family still found the tour worthwhile. Thanks for giving it a try!
My husband and I have always wanted to go on a ghost tour and this was our first one! We had so much fun, it was never boring (we both have adhd and lose interest quickly lol!) and the guide was super nice and kept it entertaining. Definitely makes us want to do other ghost tours Galveston has to offer. We highly recommend this one!!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you so much for making us part of your very first ghost tour! We’re thrilled to hear you both had such a fun time and that your guide kept the stories entertaining from start to finish. Even better, we love that the experience has you ready to explore more of Galveston’s haunted side. We really appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you on another ghost tour soon!
Caiti was very informative on Galveston’s history. People interested in discovering spirits were given ample time to explore with devices. The tour was not spooky but very interesting for all. Even small kids with spirit boxes had a good time.

Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad to hear that our guide made Galveston’s history interesting and informative. It’s great to know guests had time to explore and engage with the spirit-hunting devices, and that even the younger members of the group enjoyed the experience.
Got rescheduled for a different tour, the directions and location for meet up were too vague to find the tour we got lost and couldn’t find it and missed the tour.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
We’re sorry to hear that you were unable to locate the meeting point after being rescheduled. The meeting location details are included in the booking confirmation, but we understand that finding a new tour location can be stressful, especially when plans have already changed.
We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will review the meeting instructions to determine whether any additional detail can be added for clarity.
Not too much walking which was nice! We loved hearing the stories about the people that were a part of Galveston history.
Lenora was our guide and was amazing. We met at the cemetery at 8pm and had a jam packed session with the ghosts of history. We had five adults and three 8 year olds and everyone felt the guided tour was amazing.
Great and unique experience for the history of Galveston. Our tour guide was very approachable and made the walk enjoyable.
A definite must see. Very informative and entertaining at the same time. I went with my teenage grandchildren. They both enjoyed very much.
We learned a lot and had a great time talking with our guide Stephanie. She was very informative and knowledgeable about Galveston's history.
Fun experience, more informative than scary. Walked for a bit. Could have had better lighting at each stop to help see headstone beig talked about.
It was very good and I enjoyed it very much and I would tell my friends all about it so that they can take their family
Guide never showed up and left after waiting 20 minutes and will file a dispute with credit card company for refund.
Response from Host, Oct 2024
I'm sorry that the guide never showed. Please reach out to us at info@ghostcitytours.com and we can get you rescheduled.
It was really fun and lots of historical information. The work with you, even if you show up the day before you’re scheduled to go on the tour, hahaha!!!
The group was large and could not hear the guide as the long line of people walked down the aisles. Family did not feel safe with the drunks and druggies walking through.
Second time going on this tour, had a different guide and had a great time, very informative and loved the history.
Lots of history mixed in with mystery. No fakery or gore. Easy walk. Ok for kids. Incredible cemetery to visit day or night. Guide was very knowledgeable.

the tour guide was informative and friendly. I loved the history of it all. We really enjoyed the whole thing.
Fun tour with tons of historical information about Galveston. The tour guide was very kind and very knowledgeable.
We did not have the tour. The tour operator said you - Viator sold a non-existing tour. We showed up. They were not there. Said it is your fault. Please have someone call me at 713-732-9596
We’ve done two tours with our guide, Stephanie. She is a wonderful storyteller and brought the whole experience to life or death, lol. My daughters and I had a great time learning about the history of Galveston and lore of the paranormal
