I called yesterday afternoon and was told there would be a tour at 11am and to be there around 10:30am to purchase the tickets. The company finally showed up at 11am and told everyone waiting that they had a charter for 11am and no one else could go. The woman was rude and shrugged ger shoulders when I explained that... More

This tour was enjoyable; the tour guide was informative and had a good sense of humor. We toured the streets of Galveston in the duck and we went into the water for part of the tour. The duck tour was full; we went on the 2:00pm tour. The duck arrived about 1:40pm on Seawall Blvd. If you want a good... More

My mom & grandma visited me in Houston, and I took them on the duck tour in Galveston. It was SO much fun and very enjoyable. The tour guide was great. We went during low peak season, so It was a little confusing to find "where" to buy tickets. You buy tickets on Seawall Boulevard from a sidewalk vendor. There's... More

It was the first full day of our first trip to Galveston Island and we wanted to get a feel for the place without having to drive (and get lost) by ourselves. I'd already called ahead and made reservations for this island tour, but have to admit that we were all a bit apprehensive about it. Afraid that it would... More

Nice tour of the island and a nice novelty to go on road and water. Always quite busy and checking in early is a good idea at peak times. More

My family and I went on the Duck Tour and I must say, it was awesome!! I've come to Galveston many times since I was about 10 years old (now in my 30s) and have never gone on the duck tour. I saw and learned more about Galveston than ever before!!!! I recommend anyone going to Galveston take the tour!!!!... More

We took this tour and we had fun. It is a long time to sit, but we got to see a quick view of Galveston and learn a lot about the area. We got ideas on where we wanted to go next because of the tour. It was great. More

We saw many things on this tour that driving by we would have said, "I wonder what that is?" and never known. There was a lot of information about the 1900 Hurricane and what the city did afterward. I liked the part about the one remaining cotton press and the miles of cotton warehouses that used to line Broadway. What... More

Our tour guide was AWESOME!!! I swear that man knew everything about Galveston, by heart! After taking this we didn't need to drive around much, he showed us everything. And the cost wasn't that bad either, If I remember I think it was $15 each. More
