Got an extra hour or two before your ship sails or after our tour? The Galveston Trolley is a cheap, chill way to decompress and see more of the island. It’s like a moving meditation with air conditioning – helped me find my island rhythm when I first got here. Perfect for cruise folks with time to kill or anyone who wants to cruise the island without the commitment.
