Larry was a great guide. We used the trip to plan other activities during the week and Larry helped with that, along with giving us a great dose of history, which we wanted. You can tell he tailors the trip to his audience.

Andrew was our tour guide...

diondra_m, Jul 2022
Andrew was our tour guide and he was knowledgeable, funny and helpful safely navigating me back to the premises because I failed to properly hydrate before starting our tour which led to our tour ending prematurely. Aside for my mishap, my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour and we highly recommend this company and Andrew!!

Awesome time!

Our guide Asa was very knowledgeable about all things Galveston. We were especially interested in the 1900 Hurricane that devastated Galveston. Asa showed us all the relevant historical sites and answered all our questions. We learned so much. It was fun to learn to use the Segways. We had a great time.

Great experience!

The tour was packed with historical information and the segway zoomed you from one historical site to another which added the layer of fun I was looking for.

The guide filled as with the back stories
