| The tour was fun and interesting. Lots of interesting trivia about Milwaukee and its neighborhoods. Good variety of tastes from local venders. Some of the food served was skimpy considering the cost of the tour. I would reconsider using the deli who only served olives, and the cheese shop and chocolate shop gave very small tastings. The pizza restaurant, German restaurant, and bakery were nice sized tastings for the money. The tour hosts should gear their venders and tastings more toward the restaurants examples. |

| Enjoyed both the food and the neighborhood. By walking through the area you had a feel for the neighborhood. Our guide was informative. I would recommend it to others. |

| My out of town niece raved about the tour to her mother who will visit later.
I enjoyed the tour. I was disappointed in the food from Maders. Sandwich was not tasty.
Other food was unique and inviting.
By choice and medical reasons we do not drink alcohol. Other special drinks for us to enjoy or taste would be good. Sprechers? |

| The weather was lovely, the group very diverse but congenial. Theresa provided interesting history for the various businesses. ( I'm not sure Oprah went to high school in Milwaukee, though. Maybe that could be double-checked for us skeptics!) Also, it would be nice if the businesses selected were all open on Sunday to provide more than a peek through the window! The pace and variety was nice and Theresa kept everyone moving in a diplomatic way. |

| The food was uneven. Zafirro's was very good, as was cheese tasting on Old World Third Street. Usinger's was a waste of time. Our guide was relatively new to Milwaukee (10 years.) He read much of his presentation from a paper. This could have been much better with a better guide and a few better selected eateries. |

| Our delightful tour leader graced us with her knowledge by providing insights and anecdotes about the history, architecture, people, and customs of the area while we walked to the various food and drink stops on the tour. My wife and I, who were on vacation from the East Coast, had a fantastic time! Our two guests from the local area who accompanied us also found the tour to be well worth it – we all had a great time! Thank you! |

| We were a group of 4 seniors who had a good time, good snacking, and exercise at the same time. One couple lives in the northern suburbs of Milwaukee and were entertaining the other couple from NY. Although the NY couple had visited here before, Brady St. had not been on the agenda. The out-of-towners want to participate in the 2nd tour when they come back. The local couple became reacquainted with an area that they don't often frequent. We had a taste-off afterwards comparing Usinger's brats to Johnsonville's brat and Usingers won. |

| Greg was a great guide. We liked the personal stories that he connected with the various sites. All food places were great.
Please let me know when you are offering the progressive dinner activity. It was great to see Terry (from Key West) again.

| We very much enjoyed our Milwaukee food tour. It was an interesting combination of history and food and we learned a lot about Milwaukee. It's a much nicer city these days than I recall it being in the past. Our guide was very nice and informative. There is a lot of walking--probably a little more than we thought, but it is broken up by places where you can sit. My husband has minor back issues so the breaks were welcome. We would definitely recommend it. |
