Description

Take the next step beyond the Original Ghost Tour and venture deeper into one of America’s most haunted bars. Located inside a former Al Capone-owned speakeasy dating back to 1894, Ghost Tour 2.0 offers a more immersive exploration of the stories, spirits, and unexplained encounters that have made Shakers internationally known. Travel through three stories of history and lore as your guide shares additional accounts, lesser-known stories, documented experiences, and chilling reports of paranormal activity that continue to surround the building today. This extended experience is designed for guests who want to go beyond the basics and explore Milwaukee’s most haunted destination in greater depth. Not for the faint of heart.

It was cool to go on the tour to see the building itself. Chris was a good guide

It was good, I expected a little bit more from the tour or for it to feel a little bit more natural. Parts of it felt a little staged

Haunted Shaker Cigar Bar tour 2.0

We had a great time exploring the Shaker Cigar Bar. Got to see the basement, the second and third floors. Tried divining rods and got some great photos! Our tour guide Jennifer was awesome!

Couples Weekend with Friends.

I was very excited for this tour. Within the first 5-10 minutes the excitement was gone. Our tour guide was talking so fast and had no personal engagement. Like they were reading from a script they couldn’t stray from. I asked if she could talk a little slower and louder. I was told… sorry, that’s how I talk!! Wow. I have been on many tours of all kinds and never had to ask this of a tour guide. Normally they’re fun and why I continue finding them to go on. The 10 minute break before the 2nd hour we chose to wait in the bar for our friends who continued the tour. They did came to ask if we were joining for the second half and we politely said no. Found out they handed out little ghost flashlights to everyone, even though we paid $47pp and were still there as they knew we were we must not have deserved one. I wonder had we enjoyed the tour guide would we have had a better experience.

Joe was a wonderful tour...

Joe was a wonderful tour guide. He made the tour fun and exciting. After the tour was over, my boyfriend and I had more questions to ask and he stayed after and answered them. What a great experience. Thank you Joe. I highly recommend this tour to everyone.

Gimmicky But Fun To Do Once!

Our tour guide was funny and kept the tour entertaining. He had good commentary with attendees and is the most memorable part for us. The tour itself felt very obviously fake and gimmicky. The dousing rods were so clearly faked, especially when guests who didn’t know what to do tried to use them 😅 Me and my boyfriend had a good laugh though and enjoyed the gimmicks of the tour! I think I would’ve liked some quiet time in the basement and B + A floors to see if anything changed. It was lots of talking without a whole lot of factual historic info. Like I said, silly and pretty gimmicky. The owner (Bob Weiss) seems to be after the $$$ more than an immersive experience, and sometimes the scripted tour felt a bit disrespectful to those who have passed. I think once is enough, but if you’re into ghosts or fun stories it could be worth it to go! Getting to see the upper levels was gorgeous.

Elizabeth was a great guide... But her namesake splashed my pants!

Wonderfully detailed tour, and experience. I have never done a tour like this before, but there was no way to not get into this! I was freaked out, enthralled, laughed, nearly cried, and felt empathy for the stories of those who resided at Shakers
