This is a must see if you visit Gelena, Illinois. You are not allowed to take pictures inside. If you are a Gone with the Wind fan there is something special for you. If you love Christian Renaissance art they have 10 million dollar exhibit. I do not want to ruin some of the surprises. You truly will not be disappointed.
Although a beautiful place with a few beautiful pieces, my family and I were extremely disappointed with this tour. There were only three original items in the house and the rest were just brought in from anywhere. You were only able to go into four or five rooms total and didn't even get to see 3/4 of the mansion. What you were able to see, most of it had been modified which took away from the overall experience. For what you get to see, it is extremely overpriced, however; the tour guides are very friendly and informational.
Great experience to learn the history of the Belvedere Mansion. The historians were pretty knowledgeable about the history of the mansion. The tour wasn't that long. I waited about 30 mins for a 20 min tour. But it was alright. I liked it.
Greek revival mansion tour in Galena is a great way to start or end your day. The home is filled with interesting beautiful artifacts including pieces owned by Liberace..4 stars because many rooms were closed to the public. Yet the amount of education thieves received is worth it.
I love this place! It's a beautiful old historic home. The tour guide was full of information and since I am a huge history buff I had a lot of questions easily. The only thing I didn't like was they did not want you to take any pictures.Which I can understand since you have to pay for a tour. They did have a great deal though. For $20 you can tour the belvedere and also Dowling house and they are good anytime. I highly recommend checking this place out even if you're not into history. The craftsmanship of the pieces inside is stunning!
