| They sold too many tickets and a second female tour guide showed up 1/3 of the way through. Breaking into 2 groups of 10 each did help, BUT the guides still do not have microphones/bullhorns (esp for women without the loudest of voices) so it is very hard to hear them - especially older people. There was a lot of noise from trucks and traffic. That really put a damper on what could have been a very good experience. Food/wine was nice. Stops were good and informative. Overall, good tour IF you can hear it. |

| We enjoyed learning about the history behind the restaurants and old Milwaukee,. Hearing the history of Brady street and vising the local restaurants brought back a simpler time. The food was unique as it was a sampling of German,and Italian ethic dishes that are not always foods that you would order at a restaurant. Teresa was enthusiastic and did a excellent job in her choice of samplings. Thanks again for the enjoyable day. |

Fun, but more trivia and food appreciated

| 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. |

| Our tour guide was informative and enthusiastic.
The only "complaint" of sorts was Bucca Di Peppo... why put a chain restr on the tour? just for the local Lambrusco? and because it was a stop between the italian section and the german section... i recommend finding something else. |

| Although the tour was interesting, the food tasting portion did not met outr expectations. The portions were little, food far in between and beer in a shot glass was not what we expected on a $74 food tour.
Thanks,
Eric and Cris |

| 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. |

| 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! |
