Fun experience in Galena

Devin was an awesome tour guide! He shared some great history about Galena and told us interesting stories about the owners of the places we visited, which made the tour even more enjoyable. The drinks and appetizer pairings were fantastic! And a special thanks to Devin for recommending the Prickly Pear Mule at the Grape Escape - it was delicious! We would definitely do this tour again and highly recommend it to anyone planning a visit to Galena. It was a fun experience from start to finish!

Response from ViatorSeptember 01, 2026
