Good Mix of Light Exercise, History & Humor
What a delightful trip. Just the right amount of history, much I'd not heard before, delivered by a knowledgeable, humble leader with a dry sense of humor. Still chuckling today. Well done Jamie!

Enjoying Milwaukee

Great Tour and Very Accommodating
Jimmy was very accommodating. Our plans changed and we got stuck in Chicago longer than expected.. But we really wanted to do the tour. Jimmy was able to accommodate our schedule and we had a great tour. Touring Milwaukee by bike is perfect. Jimmy’s bikes are in great condition and the e-bike made the tour very easy and comfortable.

Great E-bike Tour of Milwaukee
Jimmy put on a wonderful tour of Milwaukee, exploring parts of the city I wouldn’t have seen on my own. It was great to get an orientation to the city and its history. The e-bikes were in fantastic shape and made for an enjoyable ride. Jimmy took care of all the details, including water for all of us. Easy parking as well. I’d highly recommend!
