Chicago Weekend Explorers takes you to the best of Chicago & beyond! Hiking, brewery tours, architecture and cultural excursions – we’ve got you covered!
Come explore all that Milwaukee, America's charming brewing capital, has to offer in this day-long excursion! The $146 tour price includes: entry into the gorgeous Pabst Mansion, Lakefront Brewery, Miller Brewery, and the Great Lakes Distillery tours in Milwaukee, transportation to and from Milwaukee, two souvenir pint glasses, and the gorgeous, super Instagrammable Christmas scenery of Milwaukee and the Pabst Mansion!
Our tour starts at the historic Pabst Mansion, a fantastic example of luxury and old world decadence. Former home to the famous Pabst Brewing family, the Pabst Mansion will transport you back in time to an era of elegance and charm. Next up is lunch at the Milwaukee Public Market, a feast for all five senses! Experience an array of charming spice shops, gift boutiques and incredible food options. Then we head underground... that's right, Milwaukee has caves! Take in the impressive "beer caves" during the Miller Brewing Company Tour, and see these subterranean wonders. We follow that up with
a trip to Lakefront Brewery, where the tour is as informative as it is hilarious! There will be plenty of samples and a souvenir pint glass, so be sure to sign up for this can't miss excursion! Check our events calendar for upcoming excursions.

Cristina Dorado2023-07-31MARAVILLOSO tour por Chicago hemos vivido con el guía James!! Muy atento y un perfecto conocedor de la ciudad, nos contó infinidad de curiosidades así como la historia de la ciudad. Entramos a varios edificios totalmente recomendables. Nos parece muy importante que este guía se preocupe por la gente hispanohablante, ya que en Chicago y en USA cada vez hay más. Muchas gracias James!!Maribeth Hallahan2023-06-25We really enjoyed our bike/hike tour with James from CWE! He was very knowledgeable and informative. It was beautiful day to bike ride down the lakeshore and learn all the history of the neighborhood and buildings. Walking through the Japanese Gardens on the way back was so relaxing and informative too! We felt like we weren't even near a city. Loved it =) Thank you James, we hope to do another tour with you soon!Merin T.2023-06-03I love Chicago Weekend Explorers tours. James is fun, friendly and knowledgeable about where he leads the tour. He has prepared. We got many cool pictures from the tour and good experience from the tour with CWE. Will join another tour for sure.
