Very fun and informative tour. I’ve lived here all my life and still learned a a lot of things.

Neighborhood walking tours and special tours such as bike rides and cultural, heritage-focused treks explore city history and architecture

It's nice to have a tour guide to lead you around a city instead of getting directions from a hotel concierge whose only point of reference is "the docks." Start out on the right foot with this Groupon.

Choose from Three Options

  • $10 for a walking tour for two (a $20 value)
  • $18 for a walking tour for four (a $40 value)
  • $20 for a special tour for two (a $40 value)

    Walking tours explore the history of neighborhoods such as downtown, the Third Ward, and Brady Street. Upcoming special tours include a Saturday, August 17, bike ride through the city, a Sunday, September 8, examination of some of the materials used to construct Milwaukee's downtown buildings, and a Saturday, October 5, exploration of the cultural contributions of the city's German population.

Our "Skywaukee" 11 am tour guide, Judy, was engaging, entertaining and super knowledgeable about the early history of Milwaukee. Our group of 4 was impressed with the beautiful and relatively unknown skywalks providing the beautiful river and city views. Very professionally run. Will do another. Thanks!
