5.00My husband and I booked this tour for our first morning in Milwaukee, and it was the perfect way to start the trip. The e-bikes were in excellent condition, our guide was fun and knowledgeable, and we got to see so much of what makes the city unique. It also helped us decide what we wanted to explore over the next few days.

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.
