    Very rich history in Lake Geneva that is interesting and haunting at the same time! I think this is a must for both visitors and locals in the area.

    My girlfriends and I had an amazing experience. Moe was funny and really cared about getting the towns history out there. Since this walk is done on public streets there were a few distractions but Moe handled them well.

    Perfect spooky history outing

    Elizabeth_M, Jun 2025
    I have been on a lot of ghost tours, I love to go on them when checking out a new place- I love spooky history. Hands down- this was probably one of the best ones I have ever gone on. Rita our tour guide gave the absolute PERFECT balance of spooky stories and local history. I’m biased, but call ahead to see when Rita is hosting the tour- as a local historian she knows all about the area and is passionate about the topic. She was also super friendly and open to answering any more questions you may have. The tour is about 90 minutes, I would wear some nice sneakers and there are a few gradual hills.

    Response from Host, Jul 2025

    This review is everything! We’re so happy to hear that our Lake Geneva tour ranked as one of the best you’ve ever been, that means the world to us. Rita truly is a gem, and we’re lucky to have her and we hope to see you again for another spooky adventure soon! 👻

    Moe was INCREDIBLE!! Very knowledgable & interesting

    Response from Host, Jul 2025

    Laurie_Y, Sep 2024
    Me and my group of friends would have liked to have been able to go inside the hardware store and the mansions to experience more of the story for that establishment. We understand that the restaurant and hotel were open with guests, but we really didn’t get much out of it by just the storytelling.

    Response from Host, Jul 2025

    Thanks for joining us on the Lake Geneva Ghost Walk and for taking the time to share your thoughts. We totally understand the desire to go inside some of the locations the history and energy inside those walls are fascinating! Unfortunately, since many of the properties are private businesses or residences, we’re limited to storytelling from the outside. That said, we’ll absolutely take your feedback into account as we look for ways to deepen the experience. We appreciate you giving us a try and hope you'll join us again for another ghostly adventure!

    Melinda was great, she was very informative and kept us entertained. The tour was about two hours long, but was well worth it.

    Response from Host, Oct 2021

    Thanks for the feedback, we'll pass the kind words onto Melinda!

    History, fun and shivers!

    Jill_N, Oct 2021
    Shivers up my spine when I heard about the women in black!! Our guide was very entertaining and knowledgeable - loved the inclusion of native history.

    Response from Host, Jul 2025

    Right?! The Woman in Black gets us every time 😱 So glad you enjoyed the mix of haunts and history our Lake Geneva tour really brings the vibes. Come back if you dare… 👻
