I had a very good time on the e-bike tour even thought it was a VERY hot day (thankfully before all the smoke had descended). Jimmie was very knowledgeable about his city and imparted lots of fun and interesting facts and trivia. He was also good about finding shady places to land here and there. I would have like to have been able to take some more pictures along the way but I do get that he has to keep the tour going. I definitely recommend the tour.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thanks for the feedback about pictures. I generally keep things moving but definitely allow for more photo opportunities if folks let me know they want more of that.

It’s a fun way to see various parts of the city and learn history of the city at the same time. The guide takes you on scenic but low traffic path that lets you see highlights of the city.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
I put some work into the route planning. Finding low/lower traffic routes is high on my list of priorities. Thanks for noticing!
Katherine_M, Jun 2026
The guide was very knowledgeable about the areas we biked through. We went along the lake, through wooded areas, and on surface streets.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thanks!
Ann_B, Jun 2026
This is a perfect way to see the city. Spent about three hours touring the city and seeing things from the eyes of a local. Jim was fantastic. Also patient and attentive to different levels of riders. E-bike is definitely the way to go and make the experience more manageable. No having to find parking spaces yet a little help pedaling! Thanks Jim for a beautiful and quick visit of Milwaukee!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Yes, you will definitely cover a lot of ground on a 3 hour e-bike tour with me. Good to hear that you found it an ideal way to explore Milwaukee. I agree.
Kristine_C, Jun 2026
Wonderful experience. All to see all the beautiful places in Milwaukee and get some information behind them from a local.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Wonderful review. Thanks!
Michael_S, Jun 2026
Had an incredible 3 hour 15 mile Bike ride through Milwaukee. Got to see all the neighborhoods while Jimmy explained the Rich History of the City! Highly recommend, as it was one of the highlights of our first trip to Brew City!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Highlight of the trip? Wow!!!
George_M, May 2026
Great easy bike ride! Jimmy is so knowledgeable about Milwaukee having grown up there. We really enjoyed all the places we stopped at. Highly recommend!
Response from Host, May 2026
Thanks for the recommendation!
David_S, May 2026
Great way to see several parts of Milwaukee lake front, city neighborhoods, industrial, parks and rivers
Response from Host, May 2026
That covers it. Thanks!
Tabby_K, Sep 2025
Our tour guide was amazing. We felt safe the whole time. He was a wealth of knowledge about the city and were able to hit so many spots.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thanks! The ride definitely hits a wide variety of places around town.
christopher_c, Sep 2025
Jimmy knows Milwaukee like the back of his hand. The route he took us on was filled with fun trails and beautiful scenery. He had lots of interesting history facts for us. 3 hours well worth it!
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Wonderful. Thanks!
Nancy_T, Sep 2025
HIGHLY recommend this tour. Jimmy was knowledgable, overall a great guide. We saw so much of the city on our tour. It always felt safe and we had a great time.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Safe, great time, learned a bit, I am happy that I delivered what aim for. Thanks!
Cynthia_J, Sep 2025
It was a great way to see parts of Milwaukee that we wouldn’t have seen as well as learning about other places on the beaten path. Jimmy was very knowledgeable and shared interesting historical and personal events with the group. I’m 66 and in fairly good shape (I don’t bike, but I do walk every day.). Nothing was too strenuous and the e-bike made it so easy.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thanks for offering some reference points for how hard the biking is for others potentially.
Mary_L, Aug 2025
We had a great time roding though and learning about several different neighborhoods in Mikwaukee. Jimmy is a knowledgeable guide.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Cool! Thanks!
Brad_R, Aug 2025
Great way to experience Milwaukee and see interesting nooks and crannies in the city! Enjoyed biking on trails and through different neighborhoods. Learned a lot of history too :)
Response from Host, Aug 2025
A bike gets you the best bits. Thanks!
Dennis_y, Aug 2025
Maiden e-bike experience - great way to explore a new place with guidance from a local - enjoyed it very much
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Good to hear that your first time on an e-bike was a good experience. The pedal assist bikes I use feel pretty much like riding a regular bike, but just with some extra oomph. You feel like you are biking still, which is what I’m going for because biking is one of the joys of life.
Christine_C, Aug 2025
The bike tour provided a great overview of the architecture, history, neighborhoods, park systems and lakefront of Milwaukee. I was quite impressed.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Milwaukee is impressive, especially by bike. Thanks!
Mark_F, Jul 2025
Jimmy was a wonderful host. There was a snafu with Viator’s booking, but he was adept and cordial in sorting everything out. The path of the tour was lovely — mostly parks and shady neighborhoods, and his descriptions of Milwaukee were just right. Not too detailed, but enough to give a clear sense of the city and its history.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
I definitely appreciate the positive feedback. I’m always trying to figure out the right balance of explaining stuff with out overloading folks.
GAIL_P, Jul 2025
Jimmy was an amazing leader and tour guide for our motley crew of travelers. Highly recommend this excursion!
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Good to hear my wrangling skills were satisfactory.
Tracie_S, Jul 2025
This was a great way to see so many parts of the city! Having grown up in the Milwaukee area then moving away for 20 years - this was an amazing way to see the changes in the different areas. I'd recommend for visitors or Wisconsinites looking for more insight into how accessible Milwaukee is.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Glad you took a ride around Milwaukee after 20 years away. Lots of new stuff to see and certainly better bike infrastructure now. Thanks!
Sophia_M, Jul 2025
A great time! We were looking for an alternative to eating and drinking so this was a great opportunity to get the day going. The activity level could remain light with it being an e-bike but modification to moderate activity was also feasible. Jimmy the tour guide was very educated about a great midwestern city. I definitely recommend this adventure!
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Nice! It’s true that when I read about things to do in Milwaukee from a visitors perspective, so much is food and beverage related. Go bike, then eat!
Terry_E, Jul 2025
This was a very comprehensive tour of Milwaukee covering all of the major sections of the city. The ebike was very easy to ride and most of the ride is flat. The guide was very knowledgeable and did a great job highlighting all of the points of interest along the ride.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
I appreciate the review!
Katy_D, Jul 2025
The weather was perfect! Jimmy was great! We learned a lot! Milwaukee is a beautiful city! If we didn’t do this bike trip, we would’ve missed out on all the things to do and see. We definitely have to come back!
Response from Host, Jul 2025
I can’t promise perfect weather, but I definitely promise that you’ll see more on a bike tour than driving or walking around. Thanks!
Nathan_P, Jul 2025
Excellent e bike tour that explored many parts of Milwaukee and its history. Informative, fun, tour guide Jimmy did well to meet the riders where they were. Bikes were great, water bottle provided with comfortable helmets. Really enjoyed this experience.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thanks for the review. One of the hardest parts of my job is making adjustments based on how folks are doing. Glad to hear it worked for you. I try.
deeringdenise, Jun 2025
This was an excellent tour of the city! The E-bikes are new and excellent quality. We were very impressed by how much of the entire city we covered and Jimmy knew the most beautiful route- often through parks , nice neighborhoods, bike trails, and key city attractions.
If you are wondering if you should book this tour - we HIGHLY recommend it!
Response from Host, Jul 2025
I’m glad you enjoyed the route. It was a blast to figure out.
ganesh_b, Jun 2025
What an awesome experience
Jimmy is an excellent tour guide and the e-bikes are awesome we had an in-depth tour of Milwaukee for a local
But this is for those who are fit and used to biking
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Great to hear about your experience! How good of a biker you need to be is a tough one to explain as it’s such a case by case situation. It’s definitely an ambitious route, which is why I use pedal assist e-bikes. So I think if a person can pedal a regular bike 8 miles on flat terrain, they are fit enough. Your used to biking comment is more relevant. I’ve had people who haven’t been on a bike in 20 years struggle with the basics of steering, stopping, and starting. If somebody doesn’t ride bikes at all, then indeed, a city bike tour will be a serious challenge!
Robert_H, Jun 2025
Jimmy did an outstanding tour of the Milwaukee area ! Three hours went by quickly . E bikes were great way to see the city . Definitely DO this on your visit
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thank you for your review. I am constantly trying to distill the main points I want to get across about Milwaukee because there is a lot to share and indeed, the time flies by.
Jane_K, Jun 2025
I was super impressed that we got to see all sides of the city. Jimmy shared great information about the history, the people, the rivers, and just gave a great overall flavor for Milwaukee. We were always safe and he had great routes around town. I grew up in the Milwaukee suburbs, and wasn’t sure that I would see anything new on this tour. I was wrong! It was absolutely wonderful. Whether you are a tourist from out of town, or someone who just hasn’t been in the city for a while, I would highly recommend it. The bikes themselves were easy to ride, and comfortable. We had a blast!
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thank you for joining the ride and leaving your review. I definitely designed the tour with people like you in mind: folks that live in the metro area but want to explore and learn about Milwaukee.
kbblack24, Jun 2025
Jimmy, the owner and guide, is knowledgeable about Milwaukee, shared interesting history about the area. He is clearly a fan and advocate. We drove approximately 16 miles over 3 hrs. Frequent stops along the way with bathroom breaks. The bikes were in good working order and easy to operate. My partner and I truly enjoyed this adventure. A must do when visiting Milwaukee!
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Wonderful! It’s true, I find Milwaukee a beautiful and interesting place to explore by bike every day.
Brianne_M, Jun 2025
A great way to see the city! It was my first experience with an e-bike, but it was safe and easy. My brother and I enjoyed our tour!
Response from Host, Jun 2025
It’s great to hear that the e-bikes worked well for you despite it being your first time riding one.
Kathy_R, May 2025
I thoroughly enjoyed this tour of an amazing and beautiful town! My guide was very nice and super informative. The e-bike was very good and helped make a longer ride doable. He even provided a water bottle for me. Thank you for developing this wonderful tour in your great city!
