Great drinks and great history - Mike our tour guide was fantastic and extremely knowledgeable about Galveston history. The stops were great and the drinks were fantastic. Would highly recommend for anyone interested in the history and how Galveston was the number 1 brothel place in America.

August 17th 6pm slot. - Jeff was an amazing guide. I had a great time learning about the history of Galveston and I’m glad the focus wasn’t solely on consuming as many drinks as possible.

Terrible….read on. - This tour was a red-light district tour, this is not made clear in the description. If you are not prepared and/or interested in hearing about prostitution for several hours then this one is not for you. It was shameful and infuriating that the tour guide glorified this history. The tour could have been conducted with more class and empathy, and with lees assumptions of women’s attitudes in the past. Also, very little if any history other then the slice at the height of prostitution was explained. The guide several times trash talked AirBNB travelers and tourists in general. The pubs were good but no signature beverage was recommended. You were flying blind in each on one. I’ve been on several of these and this was the worst by far. If there was an option to give zero stars I would.
