What to do and see in Wisconsin, United States: The Best Private Tours

October 26, 2021 Madelene Haan

When you think “adventure travel” you probably think of far-flung places like Belize and Alaska—not Wisconsin. But if you’re an outdoor adventurer, you’ll find plenty of places to explore in Wisconsin. A vacation in Wisconsin can put you close to the Kettle Moraine State Forest, which has excellent biking trails. Or choose Wisconsin’s Apostle Islands—kayakers will love exploring Lake Superior’s many caves and shipwrecks.

Packers fans don’t wear those cheese-wedge hats for nothing! Foodies will love tasting as many of Wisconsin’s artisanal cheeses as possible. Either drive from cheesemaker to cheesemaker, or choose a Wisconsin vacation in a town with a good farmers’ market—then the cheesemakers bring their wares to you. And what goes better with artisanal cheese than craft beer? In Milwaukee, visit the Lakefront and Sprecher Breweries for tours and tastings.

Wisconsin Dells is a classic family vacation destination. A vacation in Wisconsin Dells will put you close to all the excitement—you’ll have to tear the kids away from the theme parks, wave pools and water parks in Wisconsin Dells!

Lake Geneva boasts clean beaches, golf, and a small-town feel that definitely appeals to city dwellers—it’s a popular getaway for residents of Chicago.

Segway gliders have been some of the first to experience again the early years of the Green Bay Packers. Sure, you could walk it, but everything is more fun on a Segway PT!

Our tour guide Linda was awesome. She’s been leading Segway trips for over 12 years and she knows her stuff - and she still has fun doing it! Our grandsons, age 12 and 14, picked up the skill quickly. Linda gave them the freedom necessary for a fun (and fast) experience while she kept an eye on everyone’s safety. The scenery along the lakefront between Manitowoc and Two Rivers was gorgeous. Would highly recommend this activity for kids over 11, parents and grandparents!
