Excellent Overview of Milwaukee's Geography, History, and Present

5.00Visiting Milwaukee after many years, we took advantage of a sunny, mid-50s, late-February day to take Jimmy's "Old Milwaukee" tour. Loved it! The tour starts at the historic waterfront and makes a long leg north along the lakefront, then bends west and south into a loop through the neighborhoods, finishing through downtown and the old industrial areas along the rivers and lake. Along the way, Jimmy fills you in on the history of Milwaukee's settlement and development, and peppers it with fun factoids and stories about the various people who made the city what it is. Questions are welcome, and Jimmy pretty much knows all the answers. This 3-ish hour tour is an excellent way to acquaint (or re-acquaint) yourself with the Cream City, its geography, industry, architecture, ethnography, and institutions.
Amazing

5.00This was a great way to spend a late summer morning. Our guide navigated us through lovely parks and neighborhoods, sharing interesting facts about Milwaukee’s history from Native American to pioneer to present times. The route felt safe to ride, even for inexperienced riders, and we recommend it. Would be a great activity to do with teens also.
Highly recommend!

5.00Jimmy was great! He gave a lot of great info on the city as he showed us all around. Our group consisted of a 75 year old and a 15 year old and he was able to connect with us all. Thanks for a great day!!

5.00It was a great way to see parts of Milwaukee that we wouldn’t have seen as well as learning about other places on the beaten path. Jimmy was very knowledgeable and shared interesting historical and personal events with the group. I’m 66 and in fairly good shape (I don’t bike, but I do walk every day.). Nothing was too strenuous and the e-bike made it so easy.
Great E-bike tour!
