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.

Why this scores 51
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Shakers Ghost Tour 2.0: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Milwaukee.
How much does Shakers Ghost Tour 2.0 cost?
+
Prices start at $55 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Milwaukee usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Shakers Ghost Tour 2.0 take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Milwaukee is not rushed.
Is Shakers Ghost Tour 2.0 worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 25 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Milwaukee, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Shakers Ghost Tour 2.0?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Shakers Ghost Tour 2.0 suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Shakers Ghost Tour 2.0?
+
Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Milwaukee can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Milwaukee and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Shakers Ghost Tour 2.0 start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Milwaukee within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Milwaukee?
+
Milwaukee runs brewery and distillery tours, Harley-Davidson Museum visits, Lake Michigan cruises, riverwalk kayaking and food tours through the Third Ward. On Outty we rank every Milwaukee experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Personal and Detailed Milwaukee Sightseeing Bus Tour, Old Milwaukee 9am E-Bike Tour, Skip the Line: Museum Admission Ticket - Grohmann Museum. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Milwaukee?
+
May to September. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Milwaukee?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
