| We attended with our daughter, son-in-law and 3 year old grandson. Our son-in-law is from Italy so he really enjoyed all of the Italian history. He can't wait to go back and try out Maders. Our guide, Teri, was so informative and pleasant. We ended up walking all the way to the Third Ward when the tour was completed and then took the bus back to Brady Street where we had an early dinner. All in all we agreed that it was a perfect day! |

| This was a really fun activity. I would recommend it to others. However, one of the stops was to a non-local chain restaurant, which did not fit well with the tour. It also would have been helpful to have more food options (given that it was a food tour), as well as more local trivia about the area. Overall, it was a good experience, and a nice way to learn more about the city. |

| I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED, NO IMMIGRANTS TELLING THEIR STORIES WITH NO QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS AS MENTIONED IN ONE REVIEW. THE HISTORY WOULD HAVE BEEN INTERESTING IF THERE WAS MORE OF IT. THE WINE "TASTING" CONSISTED OF A GLASS OF LAMBRUSCO AT BUCCA DI BEPPO (SP???) WHICH IS A CHAIN AND I HAVE EATEN AT MANY TIMES IN CALIFORNIA....SO MUCH FOR ETHNIC EATERIES/HISTORY. THE WEB SITE SHOWED A WINE SHOP WHICH WE NEVER ENTERED AND STANDING OUTSIDE A BUSINESS TO TASTE THE SAMPLES WASN'T MY CUP OF TEA. ALL IN ALL I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS WORTH THE $35. |

| The guide was very enthusiastic and personable. I went with my sister and we both grew up in the Milwaukee area but still learned quite a few interesting facts. I would highly reccommend this tour to anyone looking for something fun and interesting to do in the city! |

Highly recommended!

| We took the Brady St./Old World 3rd St. tour on a wonderful fall day, which made the tour even better! My group really enjoyed the entire experience. Perfect combination of history, food & drink, and a nice walk through a beautiful part of the city. Highly recommended to visitors and locals alike. |

| We had a great time . Even though we were familiar with the area, we did learn a few new facts and sampled some food from resturants we hadn't been to before but will go back to. I wish I had known before that you made your own way back to the starting point. It is an important fact that was omitted. |

|
Great food/beverage samples, however,

| We would have liked more "behind the scenes" information and viewing. perhaps the entrapreneurs could talk briefly about their business. |

Not your standard tour!

| It was quite well organized and thought out. The additions of some local history was quite interesting. Walking shows you things that you did not notice. I've been down Brady St, via car and you miss things. I saw things that I never saw before....different stores, restaurants, architecture. I have been to many of the restaurants before. But I liked how this was done. Thought out and well timed. It was amazing how things were ready when we got there! And the bathrooms were timely!!!! I can't believe all the food that we got at Maders!! Wow. I had to leave early so I missed the chocolate stop. Next time, I will not drive with someone else who has to leave by a certain time.
We ate our Maders food in the cab back to our car! (shared with the cabbie!)
Our tour guide was great. Enthusiastic and knowledgeable.
I look forward to doing the 3rd ward tour. |
