What you'll do

We hope you brought an appetite! Milwaukee has a burgeoning culinary scene that blends innovation and farm-fresh ingredients, offering a place and flavor to satisfy all palates! The diverse food scene honors the past and welcomes the changing times and tastes.

On our Secret Food Tour: Milwaukee, our experienced guides will show you the city's historic buildings, storefronts, and restaurants that span cultures and cuisines along the Milwaukee River. After a full day of tastings, you will feel like a local talking about who has the best brats, cheese curds, fish fry, and custard.

And if all of that doesn't convince you to spend an afternoon with us, "The Fonz" gives this tour a double thumbs up! AYYY!

  • Our tour starts in front of Usinger's Famous Sausage, where you will have an opportunity to explore over 40 different varieties of gift boxes containing gourmet sausage, Wisconsin-made cheese, and delicious extras! A perfect purchase to commemorate your time in the city.
  • Our first taste is at a Milwaukee staple, where you will discover how a humble shop now provides some of the best gourmet cheese in the city. It also features our delicious Secret Taste of the tour!
  • Next, you'll visit Milwaukee's original German beer hall, which features beer imported from the Munich Hofbräuhaus. Here you will become an expert on "wursts."
  • As you continue the tour, you'll discover the secret spot where all guests are referred to by their "Agent" name and where we'll enjoy delicious fried cheese curds.
  • Last but certainly not least, you will end the tour with a sweet treat synonymous with Wisconsin, the flavor of the day custard!

Unfortunately, the weather is unpredictable in Milwaukee. We do not issue refunds as per our terms and conditions. We also inform you that we never cancel a booking even if we have only 2 people! However we do reserve the right to cancel the tour if we feel the weather is extreme, and we cannot run the tour due to this for more info see our Terms and Conditions: https://www.secretfoodtours.com/terms-and-conditions/

Why do we need to pay for booking fee?

The booking fee that you have to pay is up to our ticket provider and we can't change it. All our clients need to pay for it upon booking. The booking fee charged contributes to the cost of the ticketing system to provide an excellent service to our customers.

Foreign Transaction Fees

A few banks have charged their customer an extra fee while booking with us (this isn't the booking fee but another fee added by the bank). We think this is unfair, if this happens let us know by showing us in your bank statement and we will refund this fee as a gesture of good will.
