Are you looking for a private tour with a local expert and author of two Galveston books? I'm it! I'm a co-author of "100 Things to Do in Galveston Before You Die," published by Reedy Press, and coming soon, "Secret Galveston: A Guide to the Weird, Wonderful and Obscure." Over the years, I've written more than 200 blogs on Galveston offering travel tips on what to see and do. And, I've given tours to numerous visiting travel writers to see the sites on the island. I'm a Certified Tourism Ambassador (CTA). For you Aggies out there, I'm also a graduate of Texas A&M University in College Station. I've always enjoyed showing off my hometown and after taking a similar tour in Amsterdam I wanted to bring this tour option home. I love the idea of small, personal tours by a local expert. I'm happy to tailor a walking tour to your interests. Thank you for considering me as your tour guide. Certified Tourism Ambassador

During this shopping tour, we'll stop at Galveston's most popular locally owned businesses for that special item you are looking for. Please email me with any specific requests. I've put together three itineraries for shopping: Fashion Favorites Art and Antiques Fun Finds This tour begins at 11 am Saturdays and 12 pm Sundays (coincides with the opening of shops)
