Galveston Red Light District Tours

Join us on a fascinating 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 11/2 hour walking tour of the notorious and once flourishing industry. Meet the ladies, the madams, and houses where prostitution thrived! There is nothing like the history of Galveston’s Red Light District anywhere in the country. This is a historical review of the socio-economic factors that allowed the Galveston Red Light District to thrive for over 70 years! This is not a ghost tour, but a historical survey. (21+ only) 90 minutes of easy walking for 0.5 mile. Tour begins at 2711 Market St.
