We were in town for a week and we decided to give the ferry a try as something to do…read more When you arrive at the ferry location, there is a large lot available for parking. But once in the lot, it is not clear where to go to board the ferry. We walked towards a nearby building, to discover that it simply housed a large amount of restrooms. There is no signage inside the building showing how to board the ferry. We went back outside, and started to look around, and fortunately for us, found a ferry employee that was able to show us how to get to the boat. But even she was confused, because of construction fencing that obscured the regular way to board. Once on the boat, we followed the other passengers up a very narrow, but steep, stairwell. On that level, it is air-conditioned, and has lots of windows. We followed some other passengers through a door to the outside railing. This gives you a good viewpoint, looking down on the cars that are stowed on the boat. There is actually some shaded areas on the outside railing, so you are not in the direct sun the entire time should you want to avoid that. On both the trip over, and the trip back, we did see some dolphins surfacing, but unfortunately, no big shows. We did not get off in Bolivar, we just watched the cars disembark, and the new cars load. It was a fun little diversion, and you can't beat the price - free! Have to give a shout-out to the restrooms in the building next to the parking lot - they are super clean and in like-new condition, and the air conditioning was a welcome relief!

When we got off our ship I called them and we'd gotten off earlier and they picked us up 45 mins early. This company tries to accommodate their customers as much as they can. The bus was clean and the trip both ways was so pleasant. I couldn't recommend this company any more they are awesome!

The woman who answers the phone at Island Breeze Shuttle was rude from the second she picked up. She had a attitude about everything I said. Instead of being kind she was condescending. If she is a owner god help us......I couldn't remember the exact date of my booking, and instead of helping me, she acted irritated and completely dismissive. After giving me attitude, she finally agreed to search by my email address. Then she made a comment, saying that in all her years she had "never heard such an asinine comment." Completely uncalled for. When I told her I didn't appreciate how she was speaking to me, she hung up on me. This is not how you treat customers. I own a shuttle business myself, and I would never treat my clients the way this place treated me. If this is their idea of customer service, I can only imagine how the actual service would be. Beware--you won't get the service you expect here. I tried supporting a local company, and this is what I got in return. Terrible experience. One star only because zero isn't an option.

He claimed there was traffic and every time we called to see what was taking so long, he claimed he was 5-10 min away. My husband was super frustrated and called he main office to complain. The lady in the office hung up on him. The driver admitted that they double booked and he made another pickup/drop off. When he finally did get close to our pick up spot, he told us to walk 2 blocks to meet him. We would have been far better off with Uber or Lyft, but this company makes you pay up front so we waited so as not to lose our money. Biggest waste of almost $400. Save your money and DO NOT BOOK THIS COMPANY!!!

Selected a pick up time (7:00 p.m. - 7:15 p.m.) that would work for our flight. Flight arrived on time. Got a call from driver confirming our arrival and ability to meet at pickup spot on time. Got our bags and was at the pickup location before 7:00. No van. Called, was told the driver had left already, next van would "probably" arrive in 45 minutes to an hour. Later learned from next driver that THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME with "Gabe" (a supervisor?). On our way back, decided we wouldn't take a chance on Galveston Express, even though we'd paid, and took a Lyft back to the airport. Five minutes before we would have been picked up, however, we got a call AGAIN confirming that we would be off the ship in time. I'm certain he would have left us at the pickup spot again! This is a crummy way to treat your customers. I'm very sorry I didn't look at the Yelp reviews for this dishonest business. Advice to any of you taking a cruise out of Galveston -- get an Uber or Lyft! It's likely to be less expensive then this junky outfit, and the drivers are eager to please and plentiful.

Let me save you the headache. Here are all the reasons NOT to use Galveston Express…read more We used Galveston Express for transportation from the Galveston cruise port to George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH), and the entire experience was frustrating, misleading, and poorly communicated from start to finish. 1. The cancellation policy is misleading and feels predatory. When booking, the website pushes "travel insurance" for an extra 15% of your total cost. What is not clearly communicated is that if you do not buy this add-on, you essentially have zero flexibility, even less than 24 hours later, even if you are willing to pay a cancellation fee. We tried to cancel the morning of pickup due to extreme cold and wind while traveling with kids. Customer service told us flat out that because we did not purchase the insurance, we had no option to cancel, no option to reschedule, and no option to pay a partial fee. The only choice was to lose the full amount. This was incredibly disappointing. The way this is presented during booking makes it feel like optional "insurance," when in reality it functions more like a required fee if you want any basic consumer flexibility at all. We were treated as if we made a mistake, rather than being met with any empathy or reasonable accommodation. 2. No transparency about the type of transportation or multiple airport stops. Nowhere in the booking process did it clearly disclose that we would be placed on a large bus that makes multiple airport stops. We were under the impression this would be a more direct shuttle. Because of this: * The bus left late due to loading many passengers * We went to two airports, not just one * Our airport was the second stop, turning what should have been about a 1 hour and 15 minute drive into well over two hours This significantly impacted our day and travel timeline. If this had been clearly disclosed upfront, we could have made a more informed decision. 3. Uncomfortable ride and poor overall experience To make matters worse, the bus had no working AC, and we were packed into a stuffy vehicle full of people. The driver himself acknowledged the AC issue. While the driver was kind and professional, he was the only positive part of the entire experience. 4. Zero customer care or willingness to help Customer service was rigid, unhelpful, and dismissive. There was no attempt to offer alternatives, partial credit, flexibility, or even basic understanding. The response was essentially, "You didn't buy the insurance, so too bad." That's not how you treat paying customers, especially families traveling after a cruise. Final Thoughts Between the misleading cancellation policy, the lack of transparency about the multi-stop bus route, the extended travel time, and the uncomfortable conditions, this service completely disrupted our day and added unnecessary stress at the end of a vacation. I would strongly recommend not using Galveston Express, especially if: * You are traveling with kids * You need any flexibility * You have time-sensitive flights * You expect honest, transparent communication about what you are actually booking There are better, more transparent transportation options out there. This company prioritizes rigid policy over customer experience, and it shows.

They didn't nickel and dime us for adding an extra stop like the other car service companies were. Making a payment was seamless as well (20% down and full payment 2 days before scheduled service). My family and I flew from the San Francisco Bay Area to Houston Hobby and needed a ride to Galveston to port for a cruise. I contacted 3 different car service companies and decided to go with Top Tier Chauffeur services, out of instinct and I'm so happy I did. The day of our arrival, Betty texted me and provided me with the name of our driver, Kae, and his phone # and told me he will be in baggage claim to meet us after our flight. Soon after, I received a text from Kae. When we landed we went straight to baggage claim, there was Kae right when we got down the escalators holding a digital sign with my name on it. He made it easy to find him. He walked with us (there were 4 of us) to pick up our bags from the carousel then loaded our bags into the suburban. The ride was nice and clean. Kae was welcoming and engaged in our conversations. We started talking about Buc-cees and lo and behold we did a quick pit stop there. Our first time at a Buc-cees so we were super grateful for that stop. The day we came back from the cruise, I received a text from Kae letting me know he was going to be the one picking us up as well. I texted him when we got off the ship and he was there within minutes with cold water for each of us. If you know how hot and humid Galveston, TX gets then you know cold water is a treat. Thank you Top Tier Chauffer services. Betty and Kae, thank you for making our ride experience a memorable one! I highly recommend Top Tier if you are looking for a safe and trustworthy car service. Hands down best service and rates in Houston!
