Loved the stories of Galveston. Interesting history - Check the weather and dress accordingly. It is a walking tour and it was a cold day. Some people of our group looked very uncomfortable.

Very interesting tour with great guide - We came to the meeting point very early, and to our surprise our guide showed up early too. Jay was very knowledgeable and entertaining, we learned a great deal about the 1900 hurricane and Galveston. We all really enjoyed our tour, Jay thank you very much.

Stay was ok minus a few issues - I rate this place a 1 if I just had to rate the property. But the mold made it hard to enjoy. The smell of the mold made me sick to my stomach. There was mold in the restroom by the backdoor near the gardentub and water dripping on me while trying to use the restroom. Bathroom sink wouldn't drain. Dishwasher didn't work. The Bar drawer fell on my foot. No remote for the TV in the master bedroom.
