Write this down - Willie Dee made the tour! His kindness and knowledge whetted our appetite for more. The tour was like a moving encyclopedia of Galveston. Seeing the many houses from Restoring Galveston and inside information on each home reached beyond our expectations. We will return and see it all over again!

Fabulous - Absolutely fabulous tour! Willie D was a knowledgeable and fun tour guide. Riding in the electric Model T was a great way to see the homes. We appreciated the pictures he had of each place when it was either destroyed by a hurricane or before the Restoring Galveston team began their Reno. There is so much history in Galveston

Fantastic Tour - This tour is a must in Galveston. We toured the city in an electric model T (so fun) with our fun tour guide Willie D. He was very knowledgeable about the Galveston area, the 1900 flood, the Restoring Galveston properties. It was a great way to see the historic districts and the beautiful homes.

Galveston Getaway - Our group really enjoyed our private tour with Carriage House Rentals and our tour guide Willy! He had a great sense of humor, came prepared with before and after pictures and got overviews of historical renovations, had interesting facts about the Cardroys show, Galveston itself and were shown many sites that really would be undisclosed otherwise.

Awesome tour! - My husband and my life long girl friend took this tour as part of our pre-cruise fun in Galveston! It was great! I have long been a fan of the tv show Restoring Galveston with Ashley and Michael Cordray and thought it would be great fun to see some of their homes if I ever got to Galveston again. When we booked a cruise and decided to spend a couple days in Galveston prior to the cruise. I began looking for a tour and found this one. How perfect! It was such a great experience!!! Our tour guide, Willie D, was wonderful! Informative and entertaining! All 3 of us absolutely loved it!

East End Galveston Tour - Willie our tour guide gave us a wonderful customer experience. So personable and knowledgeable. Took us to the sites "we have seen on TV," fun night. Also saw the twice a year citizens visiting some of the very lovely properties in Galveston. Also, we're intrigued to take The Mob Tour, hosted by Willie.
