We enjoyed the tour. However, It was disappointing that the Tour Ended with a 7 minute stop at the graffiti area. There were so many historical and spectacular parts of Houston that would have better represented downtown Houston. Saving the best until last certainly did not occur with the conclusion of this Tour. Also , the speaker's voice was muffled during most of the tour too much bass in the audio. Other than these 2 things the Tour was good.

I loved the tour!! I moved to Texas 7 years ago and have visited Galveston many times. A friend suggested I read, Isaac’s Storm about the meteorologist in charge during the Great Storm of 1900. I became interested in the history of Galveston and this tour was fantastic. Dr Hal Needham who is an expert on the Storm of 1900 as well as other hurricanes that followed, provides a wonderful picture of the times in 1900 and as they appear today. I was lucky that I was the only person to sign up today for the tour, which made it much more special. The tour takes you from the past to how it all appears today which is a wonderful history lesson for all. I highly recommend considering this tour to gain a perspective of the past and it’s affect of the changes that were made to better secure Galveston for future weather events. Thank you, Dr Hal! You were awesome!

We had a great day! It was a fun and easy way to see the area. Our guide was very knowledgeable and offered some great tips on things to do for the rest of our trip. We loved hearing stories from Galveston’s history and seeing some areas of Houston that we’d have never known about otherwise.
