Tips & Advice
- Book your tour in advance, especially for weekend or prime evening slots, as these popular tours tend to fill up quickly.
- Dress warmly in layers, as Galveston evenings can be cool, and the open-air carts offer little protection from the wind.
- Consider bringing your own camera or smartphone for photos, as the holiday lights and historic architecture make for excellent photo opportunities.
- Arrive at the departure point a few minutes early to ensure a smooth boarding process and to get settled before the tour begins.
- Check the weather forecast before your tour; while blankets are provided, extreme weather might affect the experience.
