Itinerary
The extremely wealthy eccentric Betty Brown’s spirit is forever roaming the elegant halls of Ashton Villa. Many have seen Betty wearing a turquoise dress and carrying a fan during lavish event held at the mansion. Even death can’t keep Betty from being the life of the party…and scare the guests half to death.
One of over 200 historical markers on the island, this is the former residence of Olga Samaroff who is known to still haunt the home until this day.
We tour several homes in this area that have had multiple supernatural encounters
This home has had murders & lies haunt its past. Come see why this home is features on many shows including Netflix & Hollywood movies
Only one person ever liked living at the Normandy Inn and that was the man who brought Satanism to the island. One week after construction, a young boy threw himself out of the window… AND LIVED. When asked why he did such a thing, he replied, “Something evil was going to kill me”. Now The Normandy Inn has become a pilgrimage site for those who practice voodoo, black magic, Satanism and witch craft. Many sacrificial rituals have taken place here including… A HUMAN! To this day, it is still used as a portal the hell.
Many guests to this hotel have told stories of a lonely lady wandering the halls, some even having full conversations with her. But in the morning, realizing that she never existing at all!

Jeff was awesome and insightful.
Jeff was our tour guide and he was very informative and a great historian of Galveston! I already knew a lot of history of Galveston, but I didn’t know all the juicy and shocking details. Jeff definitely filled my husband and I in. We had a fun, chilling and exciting adventure on our trip to Galveston weekend before Halloween! One of the group members even caught what honestly looked like a ghost on her camera phone! She let me scroll and look at the pics she took and it was honestly little scary, even for me and I love scary! She was right there with the rest of us. Crazy to think of the spirits that can be right in front of you! Thank you for a good time!
Lady Saelym was very fun and exciting I was very engaged the whole time and usually I’m not big on ghosts but the tour really opened my eyes. I would definitely come again 😆😆😆. Very Affordable for $30.

We loved the tour! So much information that we never knew about Galveston. Jeff was our tour guide, he was great!
Great tour! Loved learning about Galveston's history.
Love the history and details given in the tour
Jeff did great on the tour. It did not feel rushed. Enjoyed the experience. Thank you!
Thomas was fun and knowledgeable about the surrounding area. The destinations were all close in proximity to Patrick’s Bar so not a lot of walking. Just no ghosts or anything paranormal. Which is not a huge deal because againThomas knowledge was impeccable! Also kinda sad I bought flashlights for no reason. You don’t actually go into any dark areas or buildings.
The guide did an amazing job sharing this history along with some great ghost stories and photos. I will definitely book with this company again. I shared my photos below and I believe Mr. Galvez right eye did move in one of the photos. Also, afterwards we went back down to the basement and took pictures. I included those in case anything is seen on there. I thought I saw the nun and people in the spa when I took those photos of the spa door. During the tour, in the basement, I tried to take a photo when I saw Blake’s EMF go off. My phone would not focus or take the picture. I had my friend take a photo of my phone for your tour.
Jeff was great; we had a small group of three and he took time to answer our questions and we felt like he took his time!
Blake was the best!!!! Made the tour fun and entertaining, loved it. Would do again!!
I loved this tour. Definitely doing more of them on the island.
Blake was an absolute delight! We had a fantastic time. He is incredibly knowledgeable and clearly excels at what he does. His great sense of humor and engaging personality made the tour both enjoyable and memorable. Thank you, Blake! We’re looking forward to seeing you again soon for the Hotel Galvez tour. Cheers!
My son and I went to explore and enjoyed Lady Saelym so much!! She is sweet, funny and a great story teller. Thank you for the enjoyable evening!
We have done tours before, and have loved them. This one, however, was very disappointing. Our guide smelled of alcohol and our tour only lasted 53 minutes. He basically just brought us to a house and told us to look around while he sat down. He had very little knowledge that he shared with us except for a clearly AI generated ghost picture. We were looking forward to this experience based on the reviews. Perhaps the guide wasn’t one of their regulars because they usually are good. A lot of money was spent on a tour we could have done ourselves. I guess we now have a funny story to share about our drunk tour guide and his AI ghost!
The experience was great! We walked around and talked about the history, the horrors behind the doors and had a few laughs. I highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to experience the history of Galveston.
I had a wonderful time walking around learning about the historic ghost houses definitely recommend.
It started off with a scetchy pick up stop , the guide was a little off dont know if he had been drinking? And repeated things a few times . We paid for an 1.5 hrs it was 50 minutes not worth the money .
I went for my birthday and it was worth the experience! The guide is very informative on the history and the people who occupied the houses. The tour guide was super sweet and funny. Although the tour we did was at night, my group felt safe throughout the walk. Would definitely recommend for any time of the year!
Entertaining and informative!
Lady Salem was exceptionally knowledgeable about Galveston’s history as well as the paranormal!! Great tour!!
It was an interesting, but worthwhile experience. I now have a completely different view of Galveston.
A fun evening exploring the Galvez Hotel. Guide was very knowledgeable and willing to speak with the guests on the tour. It was appropriate for all ages. Looking forward to the next time!
Jeff was great. Very knowledgeable and it was a good tour.
Thomas was great! We had a wonderful time!
Wonderful tour with a fabulous guide!! Thoroughly enjoyed it!
J was great! Very informative!
This was a very fun and and informative ghost tour. Thomas was very funny and knowledgeable. I've lived here for many years, but I learned so much. My out-of-town guest loved it too.
This is the second tour we’ve done with this company. Thomas was an amazing tour guide. We did the ghost on the strand tour and he was very entertaining and knowledgeable. We will definitely be back for another tour with this company.
The speaker was great! His voice was perfect for ghost telling! I appreciated hearing the history of the town as well!
