Est. 2013 · Downtown Milwaukee's historic core and Theater District
City Tours MKE was founded by Milwaukee locals in 2013 and specializes in small-group sightseeing using eco-friendly, low-speed electric cruisers, distinguishing it from Milwaukee's other, separately operated walking-tour ghost companies. Its flagship Milwaukee Haunted History City Tour was the company's original product; it has since added a Haunted Pub Crawl stopping at reportedly haunted bars and a seasonal Haunted Tales of the Milwaukee Theater District walking tour timed to the city's Theater Week and Halloween weekend. The company is a Local First Milwaukee and Wisconsin LGBT Chamber member and a Tourpreneur Founding Member, and its Haunted History City Tour is featured directly on the official Visit Milwaukee tourism site's list of haunted Milwaukee attractions.
Sources
The operator's own material describes the Haunted History City Tour as 'a captivating journey into the paranormal with ghost stories from Milwaukee's past and intriguing urban legends,' using ghost meters and divining rods at stops along the route, and the Theater District walk as an 'exclusive look at the mysterious and ghostly side of Milwaukee's historic theaters.' None of the specific haunting claims have been independently verified for this listing; they are included here as a description of what the tours cover, not as an endorsement of any specific claim.
