    We loved this audio tour...the convenience of ordering/paying online, the tour choices offered for Milwaukee, the gps connection so the tour was in sync with our progress, the quality of the tour guide and the reasonable cost. It would have been even better as a loop rather than a linear route. This was our first...but it absolutely won't be our last!

    Paid for & downloaded app and tour at the hotel. Our hotel was at the halfway point between the start and end of the tour, but we were instructed online that cwe had to walk to the start point in order for the tour to start. Once we got there, we were unable to access the tour because it kept trying to download something (which I had theoretically downloaded at the hotel). Complete waste of money!

    The tour contained interesting facts and information. But it was very short for the price. As there were free neighbourhood tours that were much longer!

    It was a good walk. I would have liked more context about the general history of Milwaukee to supplement buildings visited . Why did people come to this city ? Who was there before them ? Ended at Art Museum which also has a gorgeous cafe space .
