Kevin was the best tour guide! Your was long enough to entertain but short enough to be manageable for a weeknight. Would recommend!

The guided tour is limited to the Shaker’s Bar property, including all floors of the building and basement. The history, artifacts, and stories of hauntings are truly fascinating, though I did not personally witness any paranormal activity during my visit. Our guide, Joe, was awesome - very welcoming, knowledgeable, and fun! Overall, this tour was a lot of fun and learning the history of this Milwaukee gem was very exciting.

Elizabeth was our guide. She was fun and knowledgeable . Food and drink was wonderful. Loved Nina our server and the man at the cigar bar. God I wish I could remember his name but he gave me a very special book of matches. Thanks for that again . I will be back for the other tours.

I mean, the place is amazing, but the tour was kinda dumb. And on the website it said it was half the price than we actually got charged.

Horrible staff they also try to sell you on a 2.0 tour that’s double the price and the same exact tour as the regular one…. Don’t waste your money or time
