Michael and the crew are the epitome of what you want to find in a local business. They are kind, welcoming, flexible, they have positive/fun attitudes that are infectious to each group, and they really love the city and area! On each kayaking excursion, the guides are attentive, fun to be around, they have great personalities, and most importantly, there is never any pressure of any kind on anyone who might be a first timer. They treat everyone with the care ensuring that all who come out with them have a marvelous time...not to mention, the views are pretty spectacular! I highly, highly, highly recommended heading out to Brew City Kayak for some family time, couples time, or even solo - it will not be the first time you visit, I can promise you that! God Bless, Michael and Co. - thanks so much for the wonderful outing. I was even able to get some sweet GoPro footage on our excursion!

We had a really fun time. Our family of three (parents in 40's + teen) went on the 1pm tour. The guide helped us get fitted with life jackets, gave a quick tutorial and assisted us in loading into our kayaks. There were plenty of breaks and it was so fun to be on the Milwaukee River with views on Lake Michigan. It was a totally unique way to tour the city. Our guide was full of fun stories and fun facts about Milwaukee and regional history. She was very thoughtful and aware of safety and paddlers skill level. We took the HOP to get there and walked from the Third Ward stop (one of us walked in crocs). It was totally doable. I would definitely recommend this to other travelers in Milwaukee.
