This is What ‘Walking Distance’ Actually Looks Like

The Iconic Smokestack & Peanut Butter Warehouse

Here’s your reverse angle: cruise ship in the frame, Museum in the distance, and that unmistakable Galveston Ice and Cold Storage Smokestack photobombing everything.

Historic Smokestack

The iconic Galveston Ice and Cold Storage Smokestack serves as a landmark visible throughout our tour route, connecting the industrial heritage with modern cruise tourism.

Peanut Butter Warehouse

Known as “the MOTHER of PUBS N Grubs,” this location represents where our tour concept first began, now part of the extended route experience.
