BOOKING YOUR TOUR
About our process… we do not ask for a deposit or signed contract. Once you are ready to book the date, you just email us grouptours@milwaukeefoodtours.com or call 414-255-0534 ext 5. Let us know your desired date / time / route and then we'll put the reservation in the books for you. As the date gets closer, you'll want to let us know your tentative numbers so that we can alert the locations as we confirm our reservations with them. Then one week prior, we will need a final head count, list of any vegetarians or food allergies, and payment via credit card or check.
We love to customize tours! We have several "Make It, Take It" options that can be added onto tours for an additional cost. For example:
While sipping a beer, create an 8 ounce facial scrub made from hops to take home (Milwaukee)
Participate in a 1-hour workshop to learn the basics of quilting, or create a craft such as a wool heart ornament, felt mug mat, needle book, or knit flower necklace (Cedarburg)
Mold your own cheesehead takeaway item (Milwaukee)
Prepare your very own cannoli in a demo and hands on experience
We also can arrange for factory tour or behind-the-scenes experience such as:
Harley-Davidson steel toe factory tour
Letterpress and leave with custom posters at a century old business
Explore the world's only museum dedicated to bobbleheads
Enjoy a cooking demonstration and shop at a kitchen supply store
Learn the history of the decorated chimneys of a historic community
For all of our tours as noted above, taxes, gratuity at restaurants and food/drinks are included in the total cost. Our Group Travel offerings have pricing reflective of utilizing your bus and driver for the tour. If you need a bus, please ask and we're happy to providing pricing to utilize our buses. Tour guide gratuity is up to your discretion. We recommend a $5 per per person, or 10% of overall invoice, gratuity for your guide.
