Not Happy

Very dissapointed...tour person canceled just before time to begin!
We were waiting for that n didnt happen!
Response from Host , Jul 2022
I'm so sorry for the inconvenience last night. John the pirate twisted his ankle on the previous tour. Got particular ancle was smashed about 6 months ago during a motorcycle accident so it was very painful. He was referring some people to our other tour. And then I arranged for another tour guide to take that tour. I'm not sure if you went to the other tour and we're disappointed or fail to meet the substitute tour guide. Either way I'm sorry you were disappointed. Please call me and I'll arrange for a immediate refund John 8322450492

Mixed reviews from my crew. The adults loved it! 12 year old was bored, 16 year old was kinda of interested and 19 year old loved it also. Captain John was one of the highlights, he had lots of knowledge and told the stories with great enthusiasm. The one building we went in, mom & I saw shadows in the window which did not look natural and my kids swear they felt something weird up on the 3rd floor! Lots of history on this Island!

Rob was very friendly and had a wealth of knowledge of the history of the area. He was very willing to take time to answer our questions and help us understand our photos.

Andrew was informative and entertaining. It was a ghostly walk back In time. The location added to the evening’s mysterious mood.
We loved our tour guide!...

Great tour, Nicki was a wonderful guide! The last picture, my husband took as she was telling us we were standing on a mass grave! We were not expecting that! Had a really good time and definitely recommend going.
Pirate John’s Ghost Tour - Spooky and Fun!
Sarah_D
, Oct 2021
Pirate John was a fantastic tour guide! He is a gifted story teller and we learned a lot about the Galveston Hurricane. Our group was three small children and three adults, and the tour really was excellent for all ages. Pirate John entertained the kids with pirate jokes and chances to earn pirate’s gold. When my five year old work up the next morning, the first thing he asked was if he could go back to Galveston for another ghost tour with Pirate John. That said, the material was also thoroughly engaging for adults as well. 10/10 recommend!
Family night

We had a great time. Our Guide was very informative and entertaining. I really recommend this for a family night out. Besides the tour he gave us plenty of other places in Galveston to go see.
Good stories, Not a ghost tour
Charisse_A
, Jul 2021
Good stories about city but wouldn’t consider a ghost tour by any means. Walking through center of town with music from bars doesn’t lend for right atmosphere and stops/stories were a bit long with no climax.
Response from Host , Jul 2021
Sorry the noise of the Strand distracted from your tour. The Strand becomes our Bourbon Street on Friday and Saturday night. The Historic Galveston Ghost Tour would have probably been more to your liking as it's conducted in a haunted neighborhood thank you. We hope the rest of your stay in Galveston was more to your liking. Thank you for writing
Great tour, fun guide.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and did a great job explaining events. We also were the only 4 in the group so it was like a personalized tour.

The guide was very informative and had good enthusiasm. We were able to see some evidence captured during other tours on her ipad in addition to capturing some evidence on our tour.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
