Q&A

Q: What if it rains on the night of the ghost tour? Can we reschedule?

A: If the weather looks bad, they typically cancel the tour for safety reasons. You can easily reschedule for another night, which is great! Just keep an eye on your email after booking for updates or any changes. It’s nice that they’re flexible with the weather.

Q: Is there an age limit for kids on the ghost tour?

A: There’s no strict age limit! Kids tend to enjoy the spooky stories, but it's best for ages 10 and up since some tales might be a bit intense. Just be sure to check with the tour guide if you have younger ones. They’re usually super accommodating!

Q: What do we wear for the ghost tour? Is it casual?

A: Casual is definitely the way to go! Just wear comfy shoes since you’ll be walking a lot through the historic district. If you’re going in cooler months, a light jacket might be good too. Just be prepared for a spooky good time!

Just did the Galveston Ghost Tour and WOW!

I went on the Original Strand Ghost Tour last weekend and it was such a blast! Spooky Gin was our guide and she really knows her stuff. The stories about the Great Storm and the haunted hotels gave me chills! The 19th-century buildings are already eerie but hearing the tales made it even better. If you’re in Galveston, definitely check this out! Perfect for a date night or if you just love ghost stories!

Thinking of gifting the Ghost Tour!

I’m looking to get the Galveston Ghost Tour as a gift for my sister who loves haunted history. Has anyone done it recently? Is it good for someone who’s not really a believer? Just want to make sure it’ll be fun for her!
