Galveston Ghost and Pub Crawl - Loved the guide. Very personable. He knew all the history of the area and suggested speciality drinks at each bar. Didn’t feel rushed to finish our drinks before moving on with the tour. Would definitely recommend this tour to others.

Inflexible - I asked this be moved to The 20th of Sept. You refused and really for no good reason. I didn't want a refund, and tickets were available for the date I requested the change.
