What you'll do:

Join us on a fascinating 90-minute walking tour of Galveston’s Historic Red-Light District. We’ll walk “The Line” where prostitution flourished for over 70 years and was a tolerated and accepted part of the social and economic fabric on the island.

Relive the days when “The Mob” ran the island and vice was king. We visit many bordellos that are still standing, the sites of the casinos and bootleg joints that made Galveston “Sin City,” " the “Interdependent State of Galveston,” and “Pleasure Island” on our 1.5-hour walking tour of the notorious and once flourishing industry.

Hear fascinating stories of the ladies, the madams, and the houses where prostitution thrived! There is nothing like the history of Galveston’s Red-Light District anywhere in the country. Our tours are highly recommended and rigorously researched and will be the most memorable 90 minutes of your trip to Galveston… maybe of your life!

Our reviews speak for themselves:

“Our tour guide Rob exceeded my expectations to say the least! The best combination of knowledgeable yet personable and funny. We learned so much on the tour and even a few revelations along the way regarding why/how a few key Houston places & people came to be. If you enjoy historical facts, sightseeing, and a little cheekiness"

“What an awesome tour! I grew up coming to Galveston but I still learned so much on this tour! Our guide, Rob, was amazing and very informative. He was full of jokes and fun facts and made the whole experience that much better. I’ll definitely be checking out some of the other tours after such a positive experience on this recent visit!"

“The tour guide was obviously passionate and well-studied, his opinions and views were funny and calculated. He made a point to make eye contact with everyone in the group and generally made a connection with everyone. Very enthusiastic and passionate!”
