Highly recommend this tour and company! Our tour guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and a great representative of Milwaukee. She was patient when we wanted to stop for photos. Her knowledge of history and her love of Milwaukee was refreshing and added so much to our tour! She made our day!

Our tour guide, Carrie, was friendly and informative. We ended up getting a private tour and she answered all our questions throughout the tour! It was so great to see all the different neighborhoods of Milwaukee! Loved the huge homes by the lake!

It was a great way to see milwakee! Very informative and a fun way to do it in a Golf cart. We were a party of 4 so we had Golf cart to just us. We were able to stop and take pics of huge art mural, fonzi, the brewery where Laverne and Shirley was shot! Highly recommend if you are looking to check out the city!

Informative & entertaining MKE city tour!

Mary_W, Sep 2025

Great overview of the city! Jerry is a fantastic guide who knows and loves his city. Covers much more ground than a walking tour and stops for pics!

Very casual, easy going tour of quite a bit of Milwaukee and the different areas around the city. Our guide, Diane, was fun and informative 👍

A great intro to Mikwaukee

Freddye_S, Sep 2025
Our guide was Johnny G and he was terrific- full of interesting info and had a great delivery. Funny anecdotes. We had some strange weather- a very sudden downpour with heavy winds - and he rearranged our seating quickly to keep us comfortable. A very nice guy and easy to converse with. We had just arrived in Mikwaukee and this tour provided an excellent overview of the city. We would highly recommend this tour- and Johnny G!

Great experience

Colleen_B, Sep 2025
Excellent guide, Mark. He was very knowledgeable and fun. We were lucky to have a beautiful day. I recommend warm clothing with the wind. Station 1846 was a very nice place to start and end. Friendly people. They also have great coffee and drinks.

Great Fun

Russell_C, Aug 2025
Mark took us all over Milwaukee, pointing out the highlights. We were very happy that we booked this tour.

Girls Trip!

ABSOLUTE MUST! We had 2 carts and our tour guides were amazing! Milwaukee has such charm and history! Jerry and Mark were an absolute delight! Thank You for making our experience fantastic!

Perfect overview of Milwaukee!

Mindy_D, Aug 2025
Perfect overview of Milwaukee for a first-time visitor! The electric car was comfortable and the best way to cover a lot of the city in a short time. Open air meant you could take lots of pictures along the way. Recommend doing this early during your visit to Milwaukee to get recommendations on where to visit and eat after the tour. Loved that it started/ended at a bar with bathrooms and ample parking across the street. You could get a drink if you arrived early and take it with you. Jerry was an excellent guide!

Fantastic tour! The perfect way to see the best of Milwaukee!

MISTIE_A, Aug 2025
Our tour with Chuck was a highlight of our trip! He was so friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely enthusiastic about his city, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We loved exploring Milwaukee by golf cart—it was the perfect way to cover much more ground than a walking tour, while still feeling up close to all the sights. We saw so many beautiful and iconic spots that we never would have found on our own. A fantastic way to experience the best of Milwaukee—highly recommend!

He was very well informed on all that is going on in the city. We should have planned for more days in the city

We are visiting from...

Heather_I, Jul 2025
We are visiting from Tennessee for just a few days and went on the tour in our first day. We've had tours in Savannah, Hot Springs, Chattanooga, and Washington D.C. This one was my absolute favorite. We laughed, saw the sights, took a lot of pictures learned SO much and it really helped us to decide how best to spend our remaining time as well. It was money well spent. Highly recommend. It's really the best way to get a feel for the history, value, and present of Milwaukee. It's so much more than you can get out of a walking tour.

Iconic Milwaukee tour

Pamela_B, Jul 2025
Our tour guide shared a wealth of knowledge and provided great insight into the historic areas of Milwaukee as well as the city in genera. He was excellent!

Hello Milwaukee!

Sharon_H, Jul 2025
This was our first time to Milwaukee and our guide Jerry gave us a wonderful introduction. He provided ongoing descriptions of points of interest as well as interesting back stories on the people, the areas, and the buildings. Jerry loves Milwaukee and it came through clearly. We felt we knew Milwaukee so much better, and we knew where we wanted to return for a deeper dive. When Jerry spotted us the next day at a restaurant he recommended, he gave us a cheery greeting from his touring vehicle. This tour was a super experience!

Fantastic tour of Milwaukee!

Roxane_A, Jul 2025
Chuck was a fabulous tour guide! For several hours he gave us so much information about the history, the culture, the neighborhoods, the politics etc. of Milwaukee from its founding to the present day. We learned so much and the open golf carts are a great way to see the city. He even let us stop at a cheese shop to buy cheese and then dropped us back at our hotel! Absolutely terrific! Be sure to ask for Chuck!

Wedding tour

Super fun and interesting, very personable tour guide, Knew a lot about the city, stopped to take our picture

Nice way to see MKE

Richard_E, Jun 2025
Great way to tour the city. Our guide clearly knew a lot about the city historically and even offered her perspective on the changes she's seen there. The route covered a large part of downtown. Worth the time!

Vegas to MKE

Shelley_L, Jun 2025
Recommend this as a great all around tour of the city. Our driver, Jerry was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Loved the open air experience as well.

Milwaukee Uncovered? YOU BETCHA!!

Michelle_P, Jun 2025
Where do I even start? I'm a lifelong resident of Wisconsin and booked this tour because friends were coming in from Jersey and I wanted to show them how ah-mah-zing the Midwest is. City Tours delivered for me! Not only did I (Miss "I know everything there is to know about Wisconsin") learn endless factoids about Milwaukee but I now fear we will have an influx of east coasters invading our iconic Brew City because the tour was THAT GREAT! Chucky T, our tour guide extraordinaire, was incredible. Seriously, he should have his own reality show. Points of interests and the history of Milwaukee were related in an upbeat, engaging and FUN way. Not surprising, as Chuck’s day job for 10 months out of the year is a middle school History teacher. People of ALL AGES will enjoy this lively and incredibly enjoyable outing. The tour perfectly captures why Milwaukee is a great place on a Great Lake!
