This tour was an intriguing combination of local history, stories of untimely ends, and a spooky introduction to Milwaukee's Historic Third Ward. The walking pace was leisurely, and our guide Carrie was very knowledgeable.

Thanks for joining us on a stroll through the spooky side of the Third Ward! We're thrilled you enjoyed the mix of history and hauntings and yes, Carrie really knows her stuff! Hope to see you on another walk soon! 👻

My husband and I were looking for something to do and booked a tour last minute and we are so glad we did! Tea was a great guide and we learned a lot about the haunted history of Milwaukee!

Last-minute plans = best plans! So glad you and your husband had a blast with Tea and soaked up Milwaukee’s haunted history. Thanks for walking with us! 👻

Yea, our guide was great. He knew lots of historical moments, not just ghost stories. My friend from Cleveland loved it.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Love that you and your friend had a great time! Our guides always bring the history and the haunts. Thanks for joining us in the Third Ward! 👻

I can only review half of the tour as we left halfway through. Our tour guide was a nice lady but not a good story teller. Part of going on a ghost tour is to be spooked a little. She giggled and laughed at her own jokes the entire time. I was really looking forward to this tour. My recommendation is to a little research on google and do your own tour. It’s a cool idea but really poorly executed. Save your money.

This was the worst tour I’ve been on. The tour guide was NOT a good story teller , and the stories were super boring. Stayed for most of the tour because we felt bad and didn’t want to be rude.

The guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Loved hearing the sordid history of the area and walking around the downtown.
Response from Host, Aug 2022
Hi Carol, thanks so much! We'll pass this feedback onto the guide.

Not an actual ghost tour but great history of the third ward and various tragic events that happened.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thanks for joining The Original Milwaukee Ghost Walk! While it’s more about the history and stories behind the Third Ward than full-on ghost hunting, we’re glad you enjoyed the deep dive into the area’s past. History can be spooky in its own way! 👻

The tour focused on the "Bloody Third Ward". Originally an Irish area, a number of fires decimated many of the original structures before becoming what it is today. The guide provided several anecdotal stories about experiences, supplemented with copies of newspaper articles as sources.

Having spent my entire life in Milwaukee it was very interesting to learn about all these creepy places. Really enjoyed meeting our guide.
