Spooky Strand Ghost Tour in Galveston: 90-Minute Walking Tour★★★★★★★★★★ 4.72 (82)1h 30mThe Spooky Strand Ghost Tour is a 90-minute walking tour through Galveston's most haunted district, led by an experienced guide who recounts the violent deaths and unresolved mysteries that keep spirits tethered to the historic 19th-century buildings. You'll visit the railroad station where an engineer was decapitated, the hotel where a Civil War soldier still marches the lobby, and the opera house tied to a coffin that floated across the Atlantic. Children from age 3 are welcome, and the tour is wheelchair accessible.Is it for me?Book the daily tour if you want the full 90-minute experience on any night that fits your schedule, or choose the discount option if you're visiting with a group or returning for a second walk. Both follow the same route through THE STRAND's haunted buildings and cover the same paranormal history—the difference is timing and price.Free cancellationfromUS$ 31View ›
