5.00The 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.
