He was very knowledgeable of the area and offered great stories and experiences at each stop. If you have a night in Galveston, I highly recommend the tour and Thomas!

Ghost boy or something else? - While me and my girls were in Galveston for a little get away during Spring Break, we did a second ghost tour with our guide Thomas. He was also very knowledgeable in the History of Galveston. He was fun, down to earth and funny! My girls loved it especially my seven year old. I think she took a fond liking to Thomas because she was right up front following him a long the way a majority of the time…lol. He was very good with her and joked with her along the way! He did a fantastic job, thank you Thomas! We will definitely be back for more. Now, one of the places he took us was the Railroad Museum. Some of the history involved a little boy and his mother that were stuck by a train. As he gave us a few minutes to explore and take some photos, I heard him say…if you take some photos under the train cars, some people have captured some things. So I did exactly that to play with my own curiosity. As I was going through some of my pictures I noticed this: see picture below.

Very Interesting Tour - Annette was amazing. The tour was very interesting in spite of the extreme noise of the strand on a Saturday night. I can’t wait to come again for another tour.

To many people on the tour - The group had about 40 people and it was for everyone to see and hear the tour guide. The history was nice to learn but just just hard to hear.
