Traveler Reviews

It was very informative and our guide allowed us to see special things in Galveston. We learned about things we never even knew about.

Very poor and unprofessional. Driver paid attention only to Mexican people. I didn’t learn anything. It was boring.

The tour was good. My only complaint would be to allow people maybe 10 minutes to take pictures at the sea wall.

Great narration. Timely pickups and interesting 45 min dolphin watch that was fun. The captain was entertaining.
