All-Day Milwaukee City Tour

Our bus tour with a local guide will take us deep into Milwaukee history and also explore its vibrant present.  During our day in the city, we will visit many attractions, including the lakeside Milwaukee Art Museum, with its new wing designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava; the North Point lighthouse; historic German and Polish city neighborhoods; the Harley-Davidson motorcycle museum; and the imposing 1892 mansion built by one of the city’s “beer barons,” Frederick Pabst, where the tour will end.  A sit-down lunch and shopping time at Milwaukee’s famous Public Market are included.

Tour cost per person: $115 USD
