Explore Milwaukee’s museums, market, and brewery on a Chicago day tour, with an optional autumn foliage upgrade and Lake Geneva cruise.

About this tour

Trade Chicago’s city streets for a full day exploring Milwaukee, with round-trip transportation and a professional guide to help connect the stops. This Chicago Milwaukee Day Tour visits the Harley-Davidson Museum, Milwaukee Public Market, Miller Brewery, and Milwaukee Art Museum; admission tickets are not included unless you select an option that covers them. In autumn, choose the foliage upgrade to add colorful scenery at Back Bay Park, Holy Hill Basilica, and Lake Geneva. An optional Lake Geneva cruise offers another way to take in the seasonal views, with cruise tickets available only through the relevant tour option. The listed departure is at 7:30 AM from Chicago’s Chinatown, and the tour lasts 24 hours. Your vehicle is selected according to the number of guests, while the guide or driver-guide leads the day. Schedules may shift with weather, traffic, holidays, or attraction closures, and an equivalent attraction may replace a closed stop. Choose the Chicago Milwaukee Day Tour for a convenient way to see the city’s signature sights, or add the autumn upgrade for a foliage-focused outing.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 4 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Chicago
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.3. Top 34% in Chicago means it ranks in the top 34% of tours in Chicago by this score.
