9. What should we expect overall?
Expect a fun, laughter-filled, and laid-back Galveston food tour. Our goal is simple: to help you unwind, connect, and leave smiling. We embrace island-time—something we’ll explain below!
10. What is “island‑time”?
“Island‑time” isn’t just a joke about being late—it’s a vibe. It means relaxing your pace, leaving stress behind, and enjoying the moment. On Galveston Island, that might mean strolling a little slower, chatting with locals, or lingering over a drink a little longer.
And here’s a twist from my own life:
My wife is Costa Rican, and they have a saying I love—“Pura Vida.” It translates to “pure life” or “simple life,” but it’s much more than that. It’s a mindset of gratitude, joy, and taking things as they come. Sound familiar? That’s exactly the energy we bring to this tour.
11. What about safety, privacy, and other people’s behavior? {#safety-disclaimer}
