This is the highest rated tour according to Google and TripAdvisor in Galveston. The stories that you’ll hear as we venture on our 1½ hour walking Ghost Tour, past the gilded mansions and palaces are only whispered about on Galveston. People here are too afraid to open a dialog with the dead… afraid to unlock the gates of hell. We’ll unravel the horrible, scary secrets that lurk inside the ghost sanctuaries… secrets kept for the past 150 years! We have researched stacks of photographs and letters from those who won’t stay dead! We dive warily into the haunted past and uncover the reasons why this unstoppable paranormal force still grips the island. Bring your garlic, crosses and silver bullets as we descend into the ghost hunt darkness. This Ghost tour is for believers and nonbelievers alike. You’ll turn from skeptic to ghost hunter and learn about Galveston’s unparalleled and fascinating paranormal history along way. This tour is appropriate for all ages. But beware, you may have run.

Experienced captains offer you information on the history of Galveston while you spot some of the most beautiful dolphins. Our staff is friendly, and we will welcome you and make sure that you leave with a wonderful experience.

Galveston Haunted Cemetery Tour is our all-ages cemetery tour where you’ll spend the evening touring Galveston’s Old City Cemetery and Trinity Episcopal Cemetery, discussing the cemetery symbolism, yellow fever, The Great Storm, and of course, ghosts and hauntings.

Welcome. This is a unique small group experience. We don't go in any buildings and it is a walking tour. 1735 tours later, the tour continues to explore things science can't explain easily, the paranormal. I make the groups small for a more enjoyable tour.

1,735 tours later, I still enjoy sharing this with people who appreciate history, architecture, and the paranormal. Paranormal and historical research has given me so much enjoyment, and I continue to want to share that with others. I love Galveston and appreciate those that keep it beautiful.

I keep my tour authentic, only using info from my personal paranormal experiences and historical logs.

All info beyond factual history is my personal creation, my personal accounts, collective evidence created since business inception, and my sole creative intellectual property.

I'll help you try to get your own paranormal evidence which is what I'm passionate about.

This one-of-a-kind tour on an electric bike showcases the history, wildlife, architecture, and local lifestyle that Galveston Island has to offer.

Galveston has seen a horrifying number of sudden deaths. An ungodly number of the island's dearly departed, well, never departed. Their spirits are lurking in the shadows, alleys, staircases and stalk the Strand every day! The historic 19th century buildings on the Strand have become ghost sanctuaries, and the ghosts inside are just dying to meet you.

Join us on our 90-minute walking tour as we explore the fascinating paranormal happenings on the strand, the original street of horror. Hurricanes, war, fire, and epidemics! The pirate Jean Lafitte even turned the island into a den of thieves. Galveston has more ghosts than any other city in U.S.

Walking in the night, translucent figures will float by the windows. Shadows will suddenly appear and objects move of their own accord as we huddle closer to one another for are mutual protection. We never know what’s waiting for us around the corners. Beware and be scared! After all Galveston is nothing but “a cemetery with a beach attached.”

On the Magical History Tour, our experienced tour guides will take you on a tremendous Segway journey. We’ll start with the famous downtown area of Galveston – the Strand Historic District. For a time, it was also known as “The Wall Street of the South.”

Return to a time when the mob ran Galveston and their guests were treated as if they were family. When you crossed the bridge you enter "The Free State of Galveston," where the only rules were mob rules. The stars of the era were world class entertainers brought in to perform in the casinos, including Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., and Dean Martin. Everyone was enjoying their own "Vegas Dream" right here in Galveston.

The Galveston Haunted Pub Crawl takes you and your favorite drinking buddies through Oleander City’s most haunted pubs and restaurants. From the ghosts of hurricane victims still lost in the wreckage to civil war soldiers who still stand for Texas, you’ll need every drop of liquid courage to relive these sordid tales from the past, let alone walk the blood-stained streets of The Strand. So, saddle up, catch a buzz, and see how much you can stomach with Ghost City Tours.
