Milwaukee Food Tours

We visited 4 pizza places in the Milwaukee area that I don't think I would have found on my own. It was great to try a variety of styles and toppings to decide which each person liked best. Hard to tell which I preferred they all have something unique and tasty about them. While quite full after the 4 stops we moved to having gelato- there is always room for that. Wow- flavorful! It was a great night that helped us discover places we would have never stopped at on our own. The tour guide was super friendly and extremely knowledgeable about Milwaukee and it's history. I definitely recommend the pizza tour!

Great way to spend an evening, catch up with old friends, meet new ones and get the low down on restaurants in the area. Nice twist on the 'going out to eat' experience.

We were overall impressed with our tour guide and her knowledge of the Third Ward; we actually learned a lot and went places that we didn't know existed. However, we were a little bit disappointed with the choice of places that we ate. First stop was the Milwaukee Public Market at the Soup and Stock Company. The chili was very good as it always is. We would've preferred to maybe sample something from one or two more places there such as St Paul's Fish Market which is what the Public Market is known for. The pizza was great at Rustico and they provided Tiramisu in celebration of two couples on the tour celebrating an anniversary. Spin to us did not make sense and it was awkward coming in with all the young kids playing ping pong. The sandwich wasn't that great and they only gave you a fourth of a sandwich. The sweet potato chips were great BUT you had to share a very small plate with several other people at the table. The staff at Spin was not very friendly and it seemed that we were a burden to them. Next we went to the Tulip which was a Meditteranean inspired restaurant. The chicken shish kabobs and rice were excellent and the atmosphere had a great ambiance. We will definetely go back there for a full meal. Again, the staff acted as if we were a burden and it took several attempts for my husband to just buy a beer. The last stop was at Coquette, a French restaurant where we were served a good sized portion of chocolate mouse. The mouse was nice and think and really hit the spot. We didn't even go into the actual restaurant however and sat at bistro tables which were in the entrance to the restaurant. We weren't even sure what the restaurant itself looked like let alone what it served. Needless to say, we were overall satisfied with the tour but if you do not like talking to others and share food family style, you may want to reconsider taking this tour. My husband and I are private people and did the tour to spend quality time together without the kids... We were disappointed with the portion sizes at most of the places and were still hungry after the tour. We only received 1 sample of beer and Milwaukee is supposed to be known for the beer. The staff at just about all of the places treated us as an interruption to their restaurant and didn't offer to sell us drinks or anything extra which we gladly would have paid for. We paid $90 and still had to eat something afterwards.

This was a fun way to meet new people, learn about Milwaukee (the gathering by the waters) and try Third Ward restaurants. Our tour guide Michelle was a delight. Will definitely be trying additional tours offered by this company!

Even if you think you know everything there is to know about the place where you grew up, think again. That was one of the biggest surprises for me on the Third Ward tour. Not only did I get to experience resturants that I didn't even know exisisted, I was given some very interesting facts about Milwaukee that I had never heard before. The food was delicious! The tour guide was engaging, interesting, and very knowledgable about Milwaukee. I would definately take this tour again and want to try some of the other tours offered now.

I've lived my entire life in Milwaukee and still felt like it was my first visit to the third ward. I learned a lot and thoroughly enjoyed each of the restaurant stops along the way. Our guide was friendly, enthusiastic and knew the area very well. I highly recommend!

Can't wait to try the other tours and repeat this one with family!

Each establishment we visited had a different style of Pizza. I really liked the classic slice place but it was loaded with college students from the St. Patty's Day parade which made it idifficult to hear anything the tour guide had to say. Along each stretch of the ride on the bus, we had tidbits of history about Milwaukee and pizza presented to us. I would recommend the tour.

Tour was informative, well thought out and a lot of fun. I think everyone of us (group) would do this and other tours offered again and again. very enjoyable.

The only thing my group commented on was the lack of variety. Loved Dick's pizza but it was great when Pizza Picola offered two great choice's. the first two restaurants only offered one but it would be nice if you don't like the pizza you get and have an alternative. Plus I think it would get the owners more return business. If you only have one sample and don't like it, you will proably not return. Thank you

Going on the pizza tour was great. We tasted a lot of different kinds of pizza and were introduced to some spots that we wouldn't have found or tried on our own. Group was a fun mix of people and our tour guide (Steve) was knowledgeable and engaging. We are going to be trying the other tours soon! Highly recommended.

We would highly recommend this fun and family friendly event. We struggle to find activities that are out of the ordinary that will be appropriate for the ages of our children, 13 and 18. This was an interesting, fun and tasty night that was enjoyed by the entire family. We learned so much about the Milwaukee area from Steve, our tour guide. It was more than just sit down, stuff yourself with pizza and repeat! We are already looking at other tours available and will definitely make this a family night every few months.

We had a really awesome night on our pizza tour. So much pizza, great gelato & mini-history lessons along the way! Would highly recommend to everyone!

The history given by our tour guide was very interesting. The tour was fun and interactive. Overall we had a great time with our friends. However, I would say that there needs to be more pizza given automatically for the men. There should have been more pizzas to share. The Gelato was yummy.

Took us to four different pizzerias and ended with a local gelato shop. At the first stop, I was slightly nervous that we wouldn't be served enough food to actually be full by the end - but we were. The fascinating part though was how intersting and engaging the tour guide was while he narrated the bus trip through the neighborhoods of Milwaukee, sharing a mixed assortment of random, fun facts and historical importance. He was also very honest about some of the Milwaukee neighborhoods and that maybe they were a bit tougher of areas, but then shared some of the wonderful "gems" that are hidden within their boundaries that made me actually want to go visit. I am also a very motion-sick individual, but with a couple of dramamine pills paired with the fact that you're never really on the bus for longer than 15 minutes at a crack....I could get through it easily. And if I can - anyone can!
