Step by Step

A private tour of Galveston is the perfect getaway for your stay in Houston. This experience includes transportation from Houston, which is just over an hour from Galveston Island. Soak up the island's interesting history with a professional tour guide.

This island has many tourist attractions that you will see and that give a lot of variety to its tourist offer: extensive sandy beaches, the charming area of The Strand, the atmosphere of the streets with the Victorian buildings, Pier 21, the port of Galveston and, in addition, an important archaeological site.

Galveston is a small island in the Gulf of Mexico in the state of Texas. Founded in 1839, Galveston had a port that became a leader in the world cotton trade and was one of the most important ports in the United States. The city was economically well off until the hurricane of 1900, which killed 8000 people and destroyed much of the city.

Since then, the city has not been the same and its economic capacity has been drastically reduced. After the 1920s, the presence of Mafia families set up gambling casinos. Despite all this, the island retained its tourist appeal thanks to the old Victorian-style buildings and the natural charm of its coastal location.

Most notably, The Strand is a picturesque shopping and dining destination, as well as the centre of special events and festivals throughout the year. The Strand is also home to the best preserved Victorian architecture in the country.
