Great tour and excellent experience! My granddaughter loved being Cinderella. It was hot out as it was 5pm in Galveston in the summer but there was some shaded areas and the tour was very interesting.

    Beautiful old Victorian homes. Liz was great and very knowledgeable. I would recommend going during daylight, many of the homes are on dark streets.

    Awesome ride

    The staff was amazing down to earth and informative. The pupper dog was a bonus and they gave us a few great spots to visit. If I could give them a 100 out of 100 I surely would well worth the little amount they charge!!

    Liz was our guide; she was very informative and so lovely that we enjoyed the experience. The horse was brilliant.
