Perfect way to see Galveston! - Loved this tour! Great way to learn about city and see several areas without having to walk. It was the highlight of my 83 year olds trip! Guide was knowledgeable and happy to answer our questions about his life as cowboy in Texas.

Worth it! - My spouse and I made a last minute decision to ride after passing the horse carriage earlier in the day. Sky was our driver. He was friendly, fun, and informative. He was quick to answer questions about the horse and the ride. We had a fabulous time and highly recommend!
