Loved the tour. Very informative but truthfully we took way more time with it than the 35 minutes listed. Of course we went into every building we could to explore and look around. The exception was that we could not get into the dome of the library. You will miss some very beautiful things if you choose to zip along. Ended the tour with a wander through the art museum. Worth every penny and more!
Fantastic tour from a fantastic tour guide! If you ever find yourself in Milwaukee looking for things to do, absolutely sign up for one of Anna's tour's immediately (Walking Milwaukee and Gothic Milwaukee).
