For the price it is good way to get to know a little about the most important street in town. There is a lot more of Milwaukee to see, but it is a great start.

It basically didn't work correctly. I think 2 times I actually saw and recognized what was being described in the audio. It had no value because it was going on and on about some building which I was not near.

I enjoyed the final stop—the art museum. A few times the guide advised going inside of a couple of buildings. Take her advice!

I almost didn't do this based on the review before me, but they were so WRONG! This is the cheapest and best tour you can take in Milwaukee. I'm assuming the guy who wrote the other review didn't use the software correctly. We have taken a dozen tours or more and this was in the top 25%. The price is right, and with the use of GPS on your phone, you can decide to take it at whatever pace is right for you. We completed about 2/3 of the tour, then stopped at a place to have Sunday Brunch, and returned to where we left off. Perfect! There are at least 4-5 things this tour showed us that we would have NEVER stopped and seen on our own. I give it 5 stars for value, convenience, and information.
