Frequently Asked Questions
That’s right: Milwaukee-style pizza is a thing. And it’s so good!
Will local Milwaukeeans enjoy your tours?
Absolutely! More than half of our guests are local to the Milwaukee area, and they always say the same thing: “I learned so much about Milwaukee’s history and restaurant scene that I didn’t know!” Locals who come on our tours will find their new favorite date night spot, and can impress their visiting friends with all their Milwaukee “insider” knowledge.
I hate feeling like a tourist. Will the guide have a bullhorn and an umbrella?
Yeah, we hate that, too. And, no, no umbrellas or bullhorns. Our guides feel more like part of the group. They’re friendly without being annoying, and they don’t just recite a script. We hire people who love this city, and we train them extensively to make their job look effortless. No cringey tourist stuff, we promise.
This seems like a lot to spend on sample bites. How much do we get to eat?
No need to make reservations for after the tour. You’ll enjoy the equivalent of a full meal or more on our food tours.
What happens if it rains or snows?
Rain or shine, you gotta eat! Unless the weather looks like it’ll threaten the safety of our guests or guides, the tours will run in most conditions. If it’s too wet or cold, we’ll just spend more time indoors at our restaurant partners.
Can you accommodate my dietary restriction?
If you let us know when you book your tour, we CAN provide vegetarian-friendly tasting, but we CANNOT offer alternatives or substitutions for any other allergies (including lactose intolerant) or dietary restrictions (including vegan and gluten free). Vegetarian-friendly options must be requested in advance during the ticket purchase process.
