I'm a native Houstonian, so I spent a lot of time in Galveston growing up. This video is very accurate. It's a great place! I even lived there for a while.

Thanks for the reinforcement! Galveston has a ton to offer. Cool that you were able to live there.

The history is my favorite thing about Galveston! I live in MN, and have been to Galveston 5 times already. It's a fascinating place.

We're headed there next week. Can't wait. Thanks for the tips!!

Heading toward Galveston early June. We are actually Airbnbing a beach house on Bolivar and will be traveling into Galveston for some attraction and sight seeing. We figured we would have the more relaxing beach time and still a short dive to fun stuff

Weather should be perfect for it, and everything should be full blown for summer!

Hello from Webster, Texas (26 miles away)! I was just there in Galveston at the hilton resort just yesterday for a few days. A lot of these things I knew as I do live pretty close by but I didn't know that is was essentially Las Vegas back in the day, very cool. Here in Webster, our history is mainly the Japanese coming over to grow rice near the creek and by Clear Lake where NASA is.

We just booked the Hilton Resort for the first week of May. Do you know if the water will be warm enough to swim by then?

@@jonathanr9051 Yes, it will, May to October waters will be warm enough to swim in comfortably as that is hurricane season. June to September waters will be very comfortable to swim in.

100% will be warm enough. Most folks really get started as early as April getting in the water.

Great video, love to travel as well, keep up the good work 😃😃😃 LOVE 🍹🍹🍹🍹

I recommend to try Gumbo Diner off Seawall. The owner is a nice guy and the shrimp were huge & fresh in the shrimp & grits entree.

Josh, This was great. Very informative. You explained why they call it a red light district. But, you say not to sleep on Galveston? Very confusing. Aside from this quizzical statement, this is a superlative presentation!

July is in the middle of peak season! The weather should be warm and sunny barring any hurricanes that have the potential to pop up. I suspect the beach season will be huge this summer as more folks are being vaccinated and restrictions are being lifted.

There is plenty of warning regarding storms.

September is usually very active for Hurricane landfall on this part of the Gulf Coast. I lived on this part of the Gulf Coast all of my life, September is a very bad month for hurricanes.

You mention the tours, but you don't mention the most popular tour on the Island.

You forget to mention the mosquitoes!

Lol, ya those are just about to get serious too now that the sun is back out.

Hummm , u don’t have to go in the late Summer & Fall🤔 . That is Hurricane season

I took the red light district tour. it was overpriced and the tour guide pressured the whole group for a tip at the end. He kept repeating himself about a tip. I was going to tip him but he was aggressive about it. Horrible experience.

It's a dangerous city be careful when u drive away from seawall.

Ha makes me think of governor of poker when mention of gambling in earlier times. The theme and setting of the entire game is moving through Texas cities as games are won.. That’s funny

.45 Into the video....Welcome

Now the truth is you leave out what's going to be dangerous sometimes at certain streets certain blocks most up half of the middle of Galveston is mostly ghetto not all Galveston safe

Joes Crab Shack today, Wife Kid and I was $175 before the tip

Once every 4 years if that they get hurricanes

You said everything to talk ppl out of going to Galveston

Because you got to intervene so they don't get hurt it also puts Newton kids in danger and I don't like what you leave out you straight up what's down here a lot of homelessness a lot of b******* it's not even safe to have kids sometimes at night down here

Terrible sales pitch. All negative to begin.
