Good food, just OK information

3.00The food was tasty and ample. There was some "city tour" info shared, but much less than in other food tours we've taken. We had wandered around the same area of the city the previous day and learned more from quick Google searches than our guide shared. And while the guide was very friendly, he didn't initiate much conversation and we walked in silence much of the time. Also, the last food stop on the tour wasn't the same as the indicated end point (although the guide did walk back to the end point). Had we known, we could have parked much more conveniently.

5.00Highly recommend this food tour! Our guide, Alexis Sherry, was so friendly and shared awesome recommendations for the rest of our time in Milwaukee. The food stops were excellent, especially the fresh and fried cheese curds, the Walleye Fish Fry at St. Paul Fish Company, and the iconic Usinger's sausages. We finished with delicious ice cream at Purple Door. It was a great 3.5 hours of eating and exploring. Thank you, Alexis, and good luck with your upcoming medical residency!
Great tastes of Milwaukee!

5.00You get quite a bit of food on this tour - we left absolutely stuffed. I would also recommend the alcohol package. We got to try some beverages that you might not find outside of Milwaukee. Alexis was very sweet!

1.00Our tour guide did not show up. I planned my entire trip around this tour. I even flew in a day early to ensure I could make it on time and the guide didn’t show up. I am extremely frustrated and disappointed

1.00Nobody showed up. Tour didn’t happen with zero communication. Others were there waiting. We were early and in right location and the correct time. Be careful planning your day around this tour.
Our guide, Mara, was fantastic

5.00⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Milwaukee Food Tour Review We had an absolutely wonderful time on the Milwaukee Food Tour! It was the perfect combination of delicious food, local history, and exploring parts of the city we may not have discovered on our own. Our guide, Mara, was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about Milwaukee. She shared interesting stories, local insights, and fun facts that made each stop even more enjoyable. Her enthusiasm was contagious and made the entire experience feel welcoming and engaging. The food selections were excellent, offering a great variety of flavors and showcasing some of Milwaukee's unique culinary gems. Every stop was thoughtfully chosen, and we left feeling both satisfied and more connected to the city. Whether you're visiting Milwaukee for the first time or have lived here for years, this tour is a fantastic experience. Highly recommend—and if you're lucky enough to have Mara as your guide, you're in for a real treat! 🍽️❤️🏙️
