A Fun Guide and a Fascinating City

Had an amazing time on this Galveston walking tour! My partner and I have visited Galveston many times but it was great to learn more of the rich history of the island. Emmy Rose was an excellent tour guide! She was not only knowledgeable but also had a sense of humor which kept the tour very engaging. Though the price may seem steep, I believe it was fully worth it for the experience and would recommend it for those looking to learn more about Galveston.
