Milwaukee tour - This is a great tour that you can do at your own pace on your own schedule. I stopped and started multiple times when there was something of interest that I wanted to spend more time at.

Great way to see the city. - Loved it! Low cost, no crowds. You can pause the tour anytime you want to go into an interesting historic building, restaurant or retail store. Then just start again when you're ready. Looking forward to trying it in other cities.

This was a great way to... - This was a great way to learn a lot of interesting history at your own pace. It worked well (download the app) and just follow along as the guide tells you about the old German settlement. You can pause it to spend more time at the stops or along the way.
