Go on a weekend where you may get the better guides. Our guide grew up in Galveston but basically winged it. He knew some things but a lot of it I knew as much or more than he did.

Donna was an awesome tour guide! You could tell she really enjoys her job and she knows the history of the red lights district. The way she interacted with you, made you feel like she wasn’t a stranger at all and we were able to connect with the tour and actually take in what she was telling us. 10/10 recommend

Abby our guide was very informative, and kept me interested throughout the whole tour. A nice history lesson. The walk wasn’t too long because there was so much history just around our central location.
