Frequently Asked Questions

The perfect Milwaukee birthday party does exist.

How does Milwaukee Food & City Tours assist with planning a Milwaukee girls' weekend or guys' weekend?

For groups looking to celebrate a girls’ weekend in Milwaukee or night out with the guys, our food tours extend far beyond traditional food walks. We can handle every detail, including hotel accommodations if needed, restaurant reservations, local transportation, and curated activities. All tours are guided by local experts, so your group can expect an authentic Milwaukee experience from the swanky condos and boutiques of the Historic Third Ward to the hidden culinary gems of Walker’s Point without the stress of managing the nitty-gritty logistics.

What unique options are available for adult birthday party celebrations?

Milwaukee Food & City Tours specializes in creating the perfect celebration by focusing on the city’s sophisticated culinary and brewing history. Private celebrations for adults can include tour buyouts of existing routes for small groups or fully customized itineraries for larger milestone events. Popular options include the Tacos & Tequila Tour for a fun, social atmosphere or the more intimate Walker’s Point Stroll, Sip & Savor for those interested in artisan cocktails and trendy local eats. Groups can even add personal touches like custom cakes from local favorites or curated playlists for the private bus journey.

Which tours are most recommended for a high-energy girls' night out in Milwaukee?

For a vibrant girls’ night out in Milwaukee, the Tacos & Tequila Tour and the Walker’s Point Stroll, Sip & Savor are top-rated choices. These experiences focus on hand-crafted drinks, such as margaritas and tequila-infused cocktails, paired with authentic Mexican street food like sopes and fajitas. For groups looking to explore the city via its modern infrastructure, the Bloody Mary Brunch Tour on The Hop streetcar provides a unique, narrated journey through the coolest neighborhoods, making it an ideal kickoff for a celebratory evening.

What is the process for securing a date for a private celebration?

The booking process is designed to be as low-friction as possible for event planners. Milwaukee Food & City Tours does not require a deposit or a signed contract to begin the planning process. To reserve a date, groups simply fill out an inquiry form with a tentative headcount, which allows the team to confirm reservations with restaurant partners. A final headcount and full payment via credit card or check are only required five to seven days prior to the tour date, providing planners with maximum flexibility as guest lists evolve.

Can private tours accommodate dietary restrictions like vegetarian or gluten-free?

Inclusivity is a priority for group celebrations. With advance notice during the booking process, we can provide vegetarian-friendly tastings on nearly all routes. For private celebrations, we can offer substitutions for other restrictions such as vegan, gluten-free, or lactose-intolerance. It is recommended that you contact the team to discuss the specific menu of your chosen tour to ensure your celebration aligns with your group’s specific needs.

Do food tours proceed in inclement weather, and how are guests accommodated?

Our celebrations in Milwaukee run in rain, shine, or snow. The tours are designed to be resilient to Wisconsin’s unpredictable climate. During periods of rain or cold, the guides adjust the itinerary to spend more time indoors at restaurant partners. The climate-controlled private buses ensure that groups remain comfortable between stops, and the walking routes are kept to a manageable distance of approximately 1.25 miles to ensure they are suitable for all fitness levels.

Your Milwaukee birthday party never tasted this good.

Celebrations are a great reason to bring together your friends and family. Maybe you’re marking a milestone birthday, reuniting the old crew, or coming in for an epic weekend with your besties.  We know how important it is to make lasting memories with the ones you love. 

With our strong roots in Milwaukee’s best restaurants, we can make planning your big event super easy. Whether it’s an afternoon of fun or an entire weekend on the town, we can fill your special occasion with those memorable “only in Milwaukee” moments.
