Galveston
Things to do in Galveston

In 1816, pirate Louis-Michael Aury set up operations on Galveston island, just off the Texas coast. It was stolen by swashbuckling John Lefitte, who proclaimed himself the ruler of a pirate kingdom called Campeche…until the U.S. Navy evicted him four years later. Today, Galveston is considered to be a national treasure, with six heritage districts, a vibrant arts scene, and a relaxed southern attitude that visitors find infectious. Take a Galveston private tour and explore Texas' island city with a local guide. Start your explorations at the Strand National Historic Landmark District, to see Galveston's gorgeous buildings up close. Your guide will serve bite-sized portions of the island's history while visiting the Opera House and Gresham's Castle, an ornate Victorian house. Want to explore further into Texas on a tailor-made private tour? Your guide can arrange a visit to a working cattle ranch to ride on a tractor, or help you re-live war history at the San Jacinto battlefield.
