What To Expect

Milwaukee Day Tour from Chicago – Regular & Seasonal Foliage Option Available

Departing from Chicago in the morning, we will head to Milwaukee, Wisconsin’s largest industrial city. Our first stop is the world-famous Harley-Davidson Museum to explore the brand’s legendary history. After the museum, we’ll visit the vibrant Milwaukee Public Market located in the historic Third Ward, where you can discover a variety of Wisconsin specialties such as cheese and sausages.

Next, we’ll tour Miller Brewery to learn about Milwaukee’s rich brewing history and enjoy beer samples (optional). We will then visit the iconic Milwaukee Art Museum, one of the largest art museums in the United States, before returning to Chicago in the evening.

Foliage Season Upgrade (Available in Autumn Only)
During the beautiful autumn foliage season, you may choose to upgrade to our special Maple Foliage Tour. This seasonal itinerary offers stunning fall scenery as we visit Back Bay Park, a perfect maple viewing and hiking location along Lake Michigan. Then we continue to Holy Hill Basilica, where you can overlook colorful forests and rolling hills. Finally, we will explore Lake Geneva, where you may take an optional lake cruise to enjoy the vibrant autumn landscape from a different perspective.
