A New Perspective on Milwaukee - We have been to Milwaukee many times but always with a purpose. Go to a play. Take in a Brewers or Bucks game. Visit friends or family. We decided it was to time to be a tourist and some time to learn about Milwaukee. This e-bike tour met our purpose and exceeded our expectations. It was a perfect way to cover a lot of territory and learn about this fascinating City. The ride took us to parts of Milwaukee we had never been to before, allowed us to learn more about the roots and history of the City, discover gems we would not have found on our own, and to learn about landmarks we had seen many times before! Jimmy was a fabulous guide on our journey! He did a wonderful job of educating us on history and facts and allowing us to just ride and enjoy the scenery. We enjoyed his factual stories and his personal experiences from someone who grew up here. We also enjoyed his sense of humor. He made it fun from start to finish!! We have taken bike tours in lots of cities around the world. We would rank this as one of the best, if not the best, and would highly l recommend it! A word of caution. It does cover 16 miles with many starts and stops. Even on an e-bike, that is a lot of ground to cover. Comfort and some skill on a bike makes it more enjoyable!

SO much fun!! - The three of us ladies had a wonderful time on this e-bike tour, highly recommend! It was neat being a “tourist” in my own city. Our guide Jimmy was fantastic and gave us a lot of info and some history about Milwaukee. We were concerned this might be too strenuous for us as we don’t ever ride bikes but the e-bike gave us that extra boost so peddling wasn’t hard at all! The multiple stops we made were fun ways to experience different food/scenery scenes and the time allotted at each stop was perfect to grab food, sit down and enjoy. If you’re on the fence about this tour, just do it, you’ll love it!

Milwaukee e-bike Smörgäsbord tour - This is a very thorough and informative tour We covered 11 miles in e bikes. We definitely saw all the major highlights and had done good doing the way…, We visited the Public Matket which is by far one uf the nicest city markers I’ve ever seen. Great food options and it is immaculate.., We biked through the center of town and along the lakefront… We were visiting during Bastille day so the Blue Angels were flying over the lake!!! We visited killer coffee shop and went to a bier garden..,, If you have a few hours in this gem of a city I highly recommend you try this tour…

Take this tour - tasty, scenic, and informative! - Jimmy was an excellent guide taking our group to a multitude of scenic spots and places around Milwaukee to grab a few bites. The e-bikes were top quality and perfect for the ~10 mile trip. A deligtful way to spend the afternoon along the lake in a beautiful (and tasty) city. Jimmy runs the company (formerly had a bike tour company in Tucson) and his experience showed. Highly recommended!
