My mother and I came to Galveston to get away for a few days and decided to take this Red Light District tour. We were able to walk to the meeting spot from our hotel. We were the only two people on the tour so it felt like we were getting the VIP treatment. Our guide was delightful and very knowledgeable. It was quite cold, so we cut the tour a little short but our guide was kind enough to drive us back to our hotel. When we got back, we discussed how much we’d learned. Truly fascinating history. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who is interested in learning more about Galveston’s history.

We took the tour tonight, 10/24.21. Ron was high-energy and a lot of fun! We are Galveston history buffs, but we still learned some things. We are mid-50's and it was not difficult. Plenty of time to sit and rest, and plenty of walking. It was a lot of fun! Get to the meeting place a little early and you can grab a bite to eat at the Gypsy Joint and some drinks to go next door at the Daiquiri bar.

Our tour guide was awesome! Learned so much history of Galveston that we had no idea. Definitely better for adults than children. Our tour guide was so friendly and gave us so much extra information.

He was a great storyteller they kept your attention the entire time. Be prepared to do just a little walking, and know what this tour is about before you get there!
