Itinerary
Old City Cemetery in Galveston is over 200 years old and is said to be one of the most unnerving sites in Texas. In that time, the cemetery has become the resting place for a menagerie of souls who bring a touch of mischief, mystique and the macabre to the island’s haunted history. You will meet “The Lady In Black” who will uncover the mysteries at the heart of Texas’ more unsettling stories.
We will tour historic gravestones & call for Spirits.

I loved the clear communication between the company and us. I knew exactly where to go. If you’re worried about standing and walking? It’s minimal, just go. She had lots of fun little stories. It was a great Halloween activity. The only thing I was unprepared for was the mosquitoes. Long pants and long sleeves and problem is solved. Thats on me:) I recommend and would do it again.
Annette was great we had a blast. It was really good.
The lady in black was the real deal. It had great history and spooky factors. The orbs were very interesting. I loved it🌹
Annette was super sweet and funny and would definitely recommend her as a tour guide. She gave very detailed stories about certain graves and she also cleans up and restores graves in her free time which shows that she really cares about people and what she does, we loved it! We got to see some orbs in the photos that we took which was super cool as well. Definitely recommend this tour if you like to be just a little bit spooked!
This was one of the worst tours I’ve ever been on. From the very beginning, the tour guide was rude and unwelcoming. While we were outside the cemetery gates checking in, I was sharing a story with one of my friends and the guide rudely interrupted to tell me, “This is her show, and if I wanted to do my own show, I could do it somewhere else.” This was completely uncalled for, especially since I genuinely didn’t realize the tour had already started. We were still outside the gates, and everyone was checking in. Unfortunately, the experience didn’t get any better once we entered the cemetery. The guide spent at least 30 minutes sitting and talking, and we barely walked through the cemetery at all. We stayed near the front for most of the tour, which was incredibly boring and far from what I expected. The guide repeatedly emphasized respecting the dead, yet there was no disrespectful behavior happening. The overall tone felt unnecessarily harsh and made the experience uncomfortable rather than enjoyable. I expected an engaging, interesting ghost tour with stories, exploration, and a welcoming atmosphere. Instead, I left feeling disappointed and frustrated. The guide’s attitude and the lack of actual touring made this experience a complete letdown.
Annette was an awesome, very knowledgeable guide. We really enjoyed our time with her.
It was a blast. We didn’t make it to all the cemeteries however we had a blast. We were able to capture some orbs

We had a great time! Annette was awesome and funny and her energy was great! We love how passionate she is about the history of the people buried and the history of galveston.
Blake was so passionate and knowledgeable about the grand Galvez hotel. We had a great time listening to the history and the stories.

This is a must if you are in the area. What a great experience! Annett was our guide and she was very knowledgeable and interactive!
Annette was great! Very down to earth and knew her history! My family thoroughly enjoyed the tour and learning about Galveston.
The guide was excellent and very friendly,we enjoyed the tour very much!
Great family, spooky adventure. Full of historical information .I didn’t realize there was so many different cemeteries in one area.
The tour was full of history about the cemetery and some people buried there. The Lady in Black knows and loves the cemetery. Her respect for the people buried there was very apparent. I did notice a problem with vandalism and destruction to many headstones. It was apparent they were purposely broken! This is a must go on tour!!!
Annette was great and gave interesting information about the cemeteries and the city.
Annette our tour guide was great.She told us so many stories about the people who are buried in the cemetery and the history of the 1900 storm.My wife did get some pics of some orbs and I saw a shadow figure and heard foot steps near me. Definitely would do the tour again.
This was so much fun. The guide was knowledgeable and engaging. She cared so much about the information she shared. It was entertaining and well worth the price!
Enjoyed learning the history
This was such a great purchase! Not only do you learn about Galveston history and lore but you may capture a few ghosts in photos. 10/10 experience. Will recommend to everyone!
Annette gave a fascinating account Galveston and his history. We loved it.
We had a great tour and captured some cool pics of the nun and some interesting orbs behind the angel. Highly recommend this tour.
I absolutely love the tour and Annie was a great tour guide! She answered all the questions. My fiancé and I had and talked through good amount of gravesites in our time span. She was very engaging and excitable, which made us engaged and ready to learn. She brought waters and bug spray which is very much appreciated in the heat of July. 10/10 would recommend! I do think it a bit overpriced per person, but I enjoyed myself nevertheless.
Ariel was great. Booked the 10pm tour and made it that much better.
Really cool. Tour guide was very educating on the history of Galveston. Tour was definitely a must go again
Annette is very knowledgeable and passionate about Galveston and the history of the cemetery. We are a family of 7 and everyone enjoyed the tour. I highly recommend this tour when you are in Galveston.
This tour was really cool for the family! The tpur guide was so nice and courteous!
We brought our teens and their friends for a tour on a quick summer trip. We all enjoyed Ms. Annette as our guide. She did a wonderful job and is very knowledgeable of the area and cemetery. Even my teens afterwards told us they enjoyed it. She is sweet and relatable. We would definitely take this tour again.
Our tour guide was Very interesting and full of history! Going on the night tour made it even more spooky.
We had an absolutely amazing time on the cemetery tour! It was the perfect mix of history, storytelling, and humor. The tour was incredibly informative, and we learned so much about the area’s past while still having plenty of laughs along the way. A special shoutout to our guide, “Lady in Black” she was fantastic! Her knowledge, personality, and passion for the stories she shared made the experience unforgettable. She kept everyone engaged from start to finish. As an added bonus, we captured several interesting orbs in our photos throughout the tour, which made the experience even more exciting for those of us who enjoy the paranormal side of things. Whether you’re interested in local history, ghost stories, or just looking for a unique and entertaining evening, we highly recommend this tour! 👻🖤✨
We loved our Lady in Black! Very fun and informative. Great for families.
Great experience. Learned a lot about the history of Galveston.
Great Tour, very knowledgeable!
Annette was awesome - learned so much and had a great time!
Absolutely loved this tour. So many interesting things to learn. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and an absolute delight. My kind of woman.
Incredible tour guide. So knowledgeable about the history and the cemetery, and absolutely an awesome tour! Thoroughly recommend. A real historian giving such a level of detail. Very kid friendly. Both had a blast, my 14 year old with the ghosts, my 5 year old with the flowers in the cemetary! Also, including 2 photos taken less than a second apart. Zoom in on the green circle. Nothing there, then 0.5 second later a bright light and it looks like something is holding it!
We had so much fun! Learned a lot and enjoyed the phenomenal stories. We’re avid ghost tour travelers and have been all over TX. This was our first tour in Galveston and highly recommend. I also took my kids ages 16, 7 and 9 and it was appropriate for them. The youngest got scared a few times, but loved learning and the group was great for all ages.
Annette was Awsome guide very knowledgeable and great personality and showed us a great time and history
Annette was very friendly, knowledgeable with the history of Galveston and the cemetery. Stories of the people there and how they passed. Enjoyed the 8pm tour. She made it interesting and worth the experience. I will be looking into taking another of the tours.
