Great Fun, but slightly disappointed!
Sat, May 23, 09   11:15 AM mne21yrs Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
We REALLY enjoyed the idea of this tour. We had a young lady who was a local college student leading our tour, and she was fantastic! She was a wealth of information, and this was probably the best part of our tour! There were so many interesting facts we learned as we walked along the tour path, and her friendliness and knowledge were awesome! The part that we found disappointing was that we started the tour off in a pizza parlor ~ which was TOTALLY awesome. My husband and I were given a full pizza to share, and it was unique and delicious. However, we ate very modestly thinking we had so many other stops to make ~ we didn't want to be full at the first stop. Along the way we sampled cheese, a bakery treat, small taste of wine, and awesome pretzel and rueben rolls. But beyond the pizza and the German restaurant, were a little disappointed that some of the samples were pre-packaged items and we did nothing more than just stop in the storerooms for a quick minute or two. I would not say that you receive an overwhelming amount of food. The website led me to believe I should go hungry ~ I didn't walk away hungry but I wished we would have enjoyed the pizza more at the first stop. Even so, this tour was very interesting and was an enjoyable walk, but don't go there too hungry!

Very enjoyable

I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but I was looking for something different to do with two friends from out of town. We had a good time and enjoyed the commentary and even I learned a few new things about Milwaukee. Finding our way back to the start of the tour was a little problematic since the bus didn't run on the schedule we were told, but we managed to find our way back to the car eventually after doing a little shopping along Brady Street. I will be recommending this tour to friends.

Nice for people new to Milwaukee
Sat, May 16, 09   11:15 AM eckomonger72 Male 20-29 Local Family With Children
We felt that the tour was a nice walk, the participating establihments showed some of the diversity of Milwaukee, and its always nice to eat and drink with family and new friends. However, we did feel that this was more of a tour for those people who are new to Milwaukee, whether they be tourists, new residents, or students from out of town. The guide was very knowledgeable about the establishments themselves but could have put more history into the overall tour. We did enjoy the food and drink tastings but felt they were a bit paltry for the price paid. Overall, a good experience and a great way to see some of the more historic parts of our fine city.

Great way to learn more about downtown Milwaukee
Sat, May 16, 09   11:15 AM poodydoo Female 50-59 Local Group of Friends
We recently moved to Milwaukee and found this to be a great way to explore and learn about this wonderful community. Terry, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and made this an enjoyable experience. If I could make a change, I would drop the cheese store. The displays and facility were not well maintained and most products could be purchased at a regular grocery store.

Great Food Variety and Informative
Fri, Oct 24, 08   11:00 AM Sharander Female 50-59 Local Group of Friends
Seeing the Third Ward from the riverwalk was a good start to the tour. Our guide shared interesting facts about the history and architecture. The restaurants where we stopped offered a good variety of food samples and there was plenty to eat. The only thing to watch out for is the parking at the Milwaukee Public Market-even with a validated purchase, it still cost $11 (originally $13) to park for about 3 hours. There are cheaper lots nearby.

Learn, Laugh, and Eat

I thoroughly enjoyed the tour! The route was interesting and scenic, the guide was very pleasant and knowledgeable, the food was absolutely fabulous! It was especially nice to get special attention (and in some cases, a lesson) from the restaurant owners/managers. I'd be very interested in taking more tours - please add more routes!

Loved the entire day!
Sat, Oct 18, 08   11:15 AM kengel Female 50-59 Local Family With Children
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!

Fun, but more trivia and food appreciated
Sat, Oct 18, 08   11:15 AM buffdgroh Female 30-39 Local Unspecified
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.

DISAPPOINTED
Fri, Oct 17, 08   11:15 AM cfelitsky Female 60-69 Local Couple on a Date
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.
