We love sneaking over to Galveston over night when we visit family in Houston. We try catch one of the Ghost tours every time. We have gone on a few different tours other places but none of them compare to Dash and his team! We have even caught some cool stuff on camera. Can't wait to catch a tour this... More

My girlfriend and I went on the Dash Beardsley Restless Spirits tour. It was at 8:00 at night when the streets are pretty much empty, which just adds to the atmosphere. The tour guide told some great stories that really gave us the chills. The way she told the stories made us feel like we were experiencing some of the... More

Brian, our guide, was very nice - he told very interesting ghost stories - he worked well with kids, teens and grand parents. About 1 1/2 hour walk thru the Strand at night. We all had fun! One of our favorite things we did in Galveston.

This tour wasn't available in Jan. but we checked out the ghosts anyway. We went in the day time, and it was kind of misty and spooky. Lots of old headstones, and I'm sure lots of stories. Will have to go back in October for this tour.

A very fun walking tour on the strand with a great guide (Laura). She was an excellent storyteller, which is what makes or breaks a ghost tour. We went on the Original Ghost Tour on the Strand and learned quite a bit about the history of the area and the hauntings. I would definitely recommend taking a Dash ghost tour... More

My husband and I took the Strand Ghost tour with Dash. It was a great in providing historical information about the Strand area. I loved that part. This tour would be for those who do not believe in ghost. Downside to the tour were the amount of people. It was hard to hear all of the information sometimes.

I went on this with my bff's teenage daughter. The tour took about two hours, which is a great value for the price. Dash is very knowledgable and his passion for this and Galveston really comes through. He has a good sense of humor too. There were a lot of girl scouts in our group, so he toned it down... More

My husband and I just took the Cemetery Ghost Tour Saturday Night and we had an amazing time. Our tour guide Brian was amazing, he was very knowlegdable and interacted with the tour group. I've toured with him before and always like when he leads, just awesome dude. The cemetery was beautiful and picturesque and it's very spooky at night.... More
