Came for the Ghosts, Stayed for the Prostitutes

We had such a great time on this tour! Mike was an awesome guide, super knowledgeable and you could tell he genuinely loves Galveston and its history. We were hoping for more history than ghost stories, and that’s exactly what we got, though I think that’s because Mike was just reading his audience. The stories about the old red-light district were fascinating, and Mike had so many details you just don’t hear anywhere else. One of the best parts of the night wasn’t even on the tour itself. Mike left us with the other tour couple at a nearby restaurant, and we wound up talking for hours. It’s not often we meet other people with a genuine interest in history. It was such an unexpected bonus and made an already great evening even better.

Educational with drinks!

Mike was great. As a 9th generation native he knew the torrid history of the area well. The next to last pub on the tour was Earline's downtown Dive, it is a newly opened local artists bar built in the former opera house... very nice vibe.
