Such a fun way to learn about the events of the island, including the gangs here after the hurricane 🌀 in 1900
Fun, fun, fun! Great personalized trip in a Model T replica sightseeing & mob history in Galveston. I would highly recommend as it was so worth the price.
Great combination of history and fun! Just the ride through town is awesome. We would do it again in a heartbeat!
Willie G, was fantastic (although you didn’t hear it from me). Not only did he have great info he was entertaining and got the whole gang into the act!
We thoroughly enjoyed our time. It was an exceptional way to gain knowledge of Galveston’s historical experiences and culture as well as see the sights all while enjoying the light-hearted humor. We would encourage any and all ages to grab the opportunity to experience this GEM of Galveston!
Willie D is a great guide!! Easily the best tour we've been on!! Very knowledgeable and kept it fun and interesting!! You get an experience you can't refuse!!
Willie D is an excellent tour guide, and has a vast amount of knowledge of the history of the mob and gangsters in Galveston. We were shocked to learn that the mob has been in Galveston for so many decades and all of their illegal activities. Willie D has a notebook to show us pictures of the gangsters and some of the buildings where they were. His enthusiasm and the way he told stories made us hang on to every word. We did not realize how wealthy Galveston was in the last century and how prominent Galveston was the major cities of the United States. This is the best tour we have ever been on, both Willie D himself and his content. !!!!!
David was very funny and extremely knowledgable. He had a history story about the people and places that made Galveston what it is today. He tied the past into now seamlessly! A wonderful way to spend 1/1/2 hours!
I’ve been on a lot of tours, but this one was definitely one of the most incredible. If you’re in the area, it’s worth the money! -Beezy J
The whole experience. The ambiance of the vehicle, the driver, the stories. Entertaining as well as very informative Thank you for a great experience.
We had an amazing time! Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and fun! He drove us downtown into the seawall and telling us the great history of Galveston.
A fun interactive tour around Galveston. Lots of fun. We were in a mock up model T and dressed as Gangsters as we drove around the island to see the sites and history of the “free” Galveston movement.
Very fun and informative, both my parents are BOI, so I knew a little of the history. Willy Dee is an expert on it and made it a night to remember!!!
It was a great evening, riding through different parts of the island and hearing of the past. Willie D and his storytelling were interesting. Loved his ability to tie the past to the present.
Our guide was great and especially with our kids. It was a fun way to see the city and learn about the history of Galveston.
David went above and beyond. Very knowledgeable and informative. With the Tommy gun props the Italian accent here and there and some music from that era, he really had you stepping back in time. Will definitely recommend this tour.
Willie Dee is a great tour guide and very knowledgeable about the history of Galveston this was the best tour we took on our visit can't wait to come back and take another tour
Willy D had a great personality and was wonderful to take a tour with. He was passionate about the mob history of Galveston.
We learned a lot of interesting history of Galveston and our tour guide was entertaining and funny. This was a great tour. Highly recommend.
Enjoyed learning about how the mob influenced so much of the Galveston we know and love. Fun tour in the Model T golf cart.
Took the ride with Willie D and it was amazing. Very cool car and he was so knowledgeable and funny! Highly recommended
Willie D was such a great tour guide! He was so knowledgeable about the history of Galveston and drove us around in the bullet- riddled Model T that was so much fun waving at the crowd and enjoying the “honk” of the car! We loved his voice and him getting into character to describe all the interesting folks that made Galveston such a hot spot! The history started before the 1900 Storm and included the rebuilding of Galveston and even information about Tilman Fertitta that I had already assumed! Such an incredible story about the Moody, Maceo, and Fertitta families! Taking pictures with the “guns” made some memories that will be treasured! DEFINITELY recommend Willie D and the Mob History Galveston tour! You won’t regret it!
At the very last minute a group of us were not able to go on this tour due to an unexpected health issue. There are not enough words to describe the kindness and grace we were given by this company. I am so grateful for the understanding. Thank you and if we ever make our way to Galveston again we will certainly re book with you.
