Thomas Knows it All.... - Thomas was cordial, punny, and knowledgeable. As a native Texan I was able to learn about the history of the island, especially the parts not included in our history books. If you're looking for a well informed and invested tour guide to give you an insight into the seedy past of the island and reasons for the hauntings Thomas is your man!

Make sure you get Thomas! - Thomas was our tour guide and did a terrific job hosting. We had our one year with us and got fussy at times. Thomas was professional and accommodative. He also did an outstanding job of storytelling with great detail. Would def recommend. Read less

Entertaining Tour - We took the Ghosts on the Strand Tour with Thomas last night. The tour was part history, part creepy ghost stories and lightened up with some good “dad” jokes sprinkled throughout. We were thoroughly entertained and learned a lot about the history of the island we did not know. We highly recommend this tour.

A walk to remember - Great tour of Galveston’s downtown area. Our guide, Thomas, was very energetic and entertaining. I would recommend doing the tour during the night to add atmosphere to the macabre tails
