🏛️ That building you're walking past on the Strand? It might be older than your great-grandparents. 😳😂

And we're not kidding!

DID YOU KNOW? 👀

Many of the beautiful buildings along Galveston's Historic Strand are MORE THAN 125 YEARS OLD!

Most of the historic commercial buildings were constructed between 1875 and 1899, featuring architectural styles like Italianate, Gothic, and High Victorian.

Think about that for a minute.

These buildings were standing BEFORE:

📺 Television

🚗 Cars became an everyday sight

📱 Cell phones

🤳 People started taking 47 selfies just to get ONE good picture. 😂

And here's what's really fascinating...

These walls have witnessed Galveston's transformation from one of the busiest commercial ports in Texas to the island destination we know and love today.

If these buildings could TALK, imagine the stories they'd tell! 👀

Well, guess what?

On a Taste of the Strand Food Tour, you'll discover some of those fascinating stories while exploring the historic district and enjoying delicious tastings from local restaurants.

Because we believe history is a LOT more interesting when there's FOOD involved! 🍴😂

👇 Comment HISTORY and we'll message you details about experiencing Galveston's Historic Strand with us!

💬 YOUR TURN: Have you ever noticed the dates on some of the buildings along the Strand? What's your favorite historic building in Galveston?

How about a little food, a little history, and a LOT of memories?

We love looking back at reviews like this one from Diane, who celebrated her anniversary with a private Taste of the Strand Food Tour!

Here's what made their evening extra special:

❤️ A private tour with guide Vernon

🍴 Fantastic food at local restaurants

💐 A surprise flower arrangement at their final stop to celebrate their anniversary

And here's our FAVORITE part...

They enjoyed the food so much that they made reservations at TWO of the restaurants for later that week! 😂🙌

Now THAT'S what we call a successful food tour!

Thank you, Diane, for sharing your wonderful experience with us. We're so happy we could be part of your anniversary celebration!

Because your group chat deserves something more exciting than “Where do y'all wanna eat?”

1️⃣ Take a food tour.
Specifically, Taste of the Strand in Galveston. Just throwing that out there. 👀

2️⃣ Explore somewhere historic.
Like Galveston's Historic Strand. Preferably while someone tells you interesting stories AND feeds you.

3️⃣ Try something new together.
Maybe discover a few local restaurants you've never tried. We happen to know a way. 😏

4️⃣ Go on a walking adventure.
Nothing crazy. Just a relaxed stroll with delicious food stops along the way.

5️⃣ Make memories with your favorite people.
Laugh, eat, explore, repeat. Ideally on a Taste of the Strand Food Tour.

So basically, we just gave you FIVE reasons to book ONE food tour. 😂🙌

You're welcome.

🏛️ GALVESTON TRIVIA TIME!

Before Galveston's Historic Strand became a destination for restaurants, shopping, and sightseeing, it was known by a VERY different nickname.

What was the Strand once called? 👀

A. The Golden Mile of Texas

B. The Wall Street of the Southwest

C. The Rodeo Drive of the Gulf

D. Millionaire's Row

💰 Here's a hint: There was some SERIOUS money moving through these streets in the late 1800s!

👇 Drop your guess in the comments! And NO Googling. 😂

Here’s one of our favorite things:
Taking someone who has lived in or visited Galveston for YEARS somewhere they’ve never been...

Or telling them a story about a building they’ve walked past 100 times...

Or watching them try something at a restaurant they’ve visited before but never ordered.

You don’t have to be a tourist to discover something new about Galveston.

Sometimes you just need someone to show you what you’ve been walking past.

👇 Galveston local? Comment LOCAL and come play tourist with us!

Our Express Food Tour of the Strand is approximately 90 minutes of food, history, and exploring without taking up a big chunk of your day.

It can be a great option for seniors, cruise travelers, busy visitors, and guests who simply prefer a shorter experience.

And if someone in your party uses a wheelchair or scooter, let us know ahead of time so we can plan for an accessible route.

Shorter tour.
Still delicious. 😋
