As I was researching ghost tours in Galena, this company stood out as the one with raving high reviews, and true to that fact they didn't disappoint! Robyn was so gracious in accommodating us last minute to an already packed tour. Although they were sold out, they made sure they can add the two of us to the last tour of the season and allowed us to have an unforgettable experience...lucky us! Tedd, Robyn's husband ran the show, and he is such a good storyteller and a very nice guy. You can tell he knows the history of Galena by heart and really loves what he does. We visited several haunted locations on foot, and although the weather was freezing (30°F), Tedd made sure we had a great time. Overall the tour was interesting, reasonably priced, and very informative! We really enjoyed ourselves and will recommend the Haunted Galena Tour company to our friends and family. If ever we have the chance to go back to Galena again, I'd love to see their show "She Remains" in the DeSoto house. If you have time, also check out their store "A Darkness Lovely" on Mainstreet which sells pretty cool stuff. Keep doing what you're doing Ted & Robyn, so blessed to have met both of you & hope to see you again soon!

We loved this tour! Ted was our tour guide and completely made this experience for us! He was so animated, full of energy, and a vivid story-teller. We were able to traverse a large part of the downtown area, hearing haunting tales at select stops along the way. Ted shared with us some ghostly photos, and encouraged us to keep our eye out for ghosts in photos of our own! Due to adequate group size, we were able to tour the Dowling house in the dark, listening to the history of the home and it’s inhabitants, as well as haunting encounters with the other side that have happened in the house. It was positively frightening, in the best way. We were also able to tour the DeSoto house, hearing similarly haunting tales and encounters. Ted did an amazing job of storytelling, and made each member of the group feel engaged and included. This tour is a must-do in Galena, and will leave you with a much deeper understanding of Galena’s historical and supernatural aspects!

Absolutely blown away by this tour! It's hands down one of the best things we've done in Galena. Our adventure kicked off and wrapped up at the historic (and supposedly haunted) Dowling House. Guided by lamplight, we strolled through the enchanting streets of Galena. Picture this: the sun setting, candlelight flickering, and the stunning historic buildings of Galena nestled in the hills, creating the perfect mysterious atmosphere. The tour wasn't just about ghost stories and hauntings; it also delved into the fascinating history of Galena. It struck the ideal balance of spookiness for ghost enthusiasts and was still enjoyable for those less keen on the supernatural. Our guide brought each story to life with so much passion. We soaked up knowledge and savored every moment. The whole experience was simply fantastic. I can't recommend it enough! Already planning to revisit with friends and explore more of their offerings!

We had a phenomenal time with our tour guide Ted. He took us around town telling us stories and was really engaged with the audience. Walking is involved which was very amble, we had older folks in our group and they were able to keep up with the tour group. At the end of our tour we were encouraged to go back to places we had visited and try to capture EVP’s and photos. I didn’t capture much until I took a few last photos before leaving for the night. You can see a very translucent gentlemen peeking at me almost wondering what I’m doing. I also caught an orb manifest, looked like it headed towards me and changed their mind. Didn’t notice these until I got back to our hotel room!!! Definitely recommend doing a tour with The Haunted Galena Ghost Tour Company. 10/10

This was my first time on a haunted tour! I have been to plenty of cities that have these tours but have never booked one! My husband and I thought Teddy was an excellent guide and a great story teller! He has such a cool personality and made the tour very interesting, keeping all of us engaged and curious. It was a cold evening and by the end of the tour we were ready to go but it ended perfectly and we were able to warm up! Very cool thing to do when in Galena, especially in October :D

We took this tour on a Sunday evening. It was quite dark but it was fun. The lady was funny and knowledgeable. This is more of a history tour rather than a straight up try to scare you tour. It was so walking but nothing traumatic and was fun to learn some of the ghost stories of the area and see some of the local architecture. I would highly recommend this tour with the understanding that is more historical walk. The lady made it very fun and she was pleasant and off the cuff.
