Milwaukee, WI
Milwaukee's food tour operation has clearly built a loyal following, with guides like Emily, Larry, Robert, and Bo earning consistent praise for their knowledge, warmth, and engaging personalities. The Brady Street tours stand out as a particular favorite, with guests discovering hidden gems like Sciortino Bakery while learning about the area's architecture and cultural history. The Tacos & Tequila tour also gets strong marks for great restaurant selections and fun energy, while the Bakery Bus tours offer a delicious dive into Milwaukee's diverse baking traditions with generous sampling opportunities. The seasonal Christmas tours draw mixed reactions worth noting. While many guests rave about the festive atmosphere and guides like Becca who bring genuine holiday spirit, others felt the dessert quality didn't match expectations, particularly on the Lights tour where some treats felt too basic or pre-packaged. A few reviewers mentioned group sing-alongs as filler and suggested the experience could be tighter. That said, the core walking and bus tours consistently deliver on food quality, pacing, and local insights. The company has become a holiday tradition for some groups, and guides across the board seem genuinely invested in showing off Milwaukee's culinary scene and neighborhood character.
The Christmas Bakery Tour was so much fun!! You get an item to sample at each location, learn about the different heritages that make up the city of Milwaukee and stock up on holiday treats. Paul, our tour guide was great! We would definitely come back again!!
