Fun and well rounded opportunity - A great time! We were looking for an alternative to eating and drinking so this was a great opportunity to get the day going. The activity level could remain light with it being an e-bike but modification to moderate activity was also feasible. Jimmy the tour guide was very educated about a great midwestern city. I definitely recommend this adventure!

Great Overview of Milwaukee on an Easy Bike Ride Throughout the City - This was a very comprehensive tour of Milwaukee covering all of the major sections of the city. The ebike was very easy to ride and most of the ride is flat. The guide was very knowledgeable and did a great job highlighting all of the points of interest along the ride.

Awesome relaxing history bike tour of old Milwaukee - What a great adventure as we were able to view the many parks, old churches, historical bldgs, breweries, waterfront views and a great host who truly loves the city he grew up in! Very nice well thought out bike tour which was very relaxing and not too difficult for all ages.
Many great bike trails in MKE and we were able to view a lot of the city we would not have seen otherwise.
We highly recommend!

Unforgettable Experience - A Must-Do in Milwaukee! - Do yourself a favor and book this tour! Jimmy was absolutely fantastic and made the entire experience unforgettable.
Communication was excellent from the start. The night before the tour, we received personalized texts confirming our booking and updating us on the weather. We even got a message the morning of the tour confirming everything was still a go. That level of communication really stood out and gave us peace of mind.
When we arrived, Jimmy greeted us with a warm, friendly attitude. He was super knowledgeable about the bikes and made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe, including me, a complete first-timer. After a quick tutorial and a helmet check, we were ready to ride.
The tour itself was an amazing way to see Milwaukee. Jimmy stopped at several key locations and shared rich historical context, including the city’s founding and famous figures, cultural insights, and current events. His passion and storytelling made the city come alive. There were also several stops for fantastic photos!
Bottom line: Book this tour! You will not regret it. It’s fun, educational, and well-organized. I had such a great time, I’m already planning to bring my extended family back and do it again!
