Wisconsin Offers Midwest Charm and Beauty


This is where I grew up. Welcome to the wonderful state of Wisconsin, where you'll find a perfect blend of natural beauty, charming small towns, and a rich cultural heritage. Whether you're a nature enthusiast, a food lover, or a history buff, Wisconsin has a diverse range of activities to offer. Here are some must-do experiences to make the most of your visit.


Door County


Known as the "Cape Cod of the Midwest," Door County is a picturesque peninsula that boasts stunning shoreline, charming villages, and plenty of outdoor activities. Explore state parks, go kayaking, visit art galleries, and don't miss the iconic Door County cherry picking season. Then pick up some famous Door County Cherry Wine. And don't forget to look for the "goat on the roof."


Cheese and Culinary Delights


Wisconsin is famous for its cheese production, so be sure to indulge in a cheese tasting experience. Visit local cheese factories to learn about the cheese-making process and sample a variety of delicious cheeses. Also, try the famous Wisconsin cheese curds! Union Star in Zittau is my favorite.


Milwaukee


The largest city in Wisconsin offers a mix of cultural attractions and vibrant neighborhoods. Visit the Milwaukee Art Museum, explore the Historic Third Ward for art galleries and boutiques, watch a Milwaukee Brewers game, and enjoy a brewery tour to discover the city's beer-making heritage.


Madison


Wisconsin's capital city is known for its lively college atmosphere, beautiful lakes, and the stunning State Capitol building. Take a stroll around the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus, visit the Olbrich Botanical Gardens, and enjoy the local dining scene. If you visit during the summer, the Farmer's Market around the capitol on Saturday is something you must do!


Frank Lloyd Wright Sites


Wisconsin is home to several architectural masterpieces designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Don't miss Taliesin in Spring Green, Wright's former home and studio, as well as the Monona Terrace in Madison.


Lake Geneva


A popular resort town, Lake Geneva offers boating, swimming, and water sports on the lake, as well as charming boutiques and restaurants in the downtown area. Take a leisurely boat tour to enjoy the scenic beauty of the area.


Wisconsin Dells


Known as the "Waterpark Capital of the World," Wisconsin Dells is a family-friendly destination with water parks, amusement parks, and entertainment options for all ages. The stunning rock formations and scenic boat tours along the Wisconsin River are also worth exploring.


Green Bay


If you're a football fan, a trip to Green Bay is a must. Visit Lambeau Field, home to the Green Bay Packers, and explore the Packers Hall of Fame to learn about the team's storied history.


Eagle River and the Northwoods


For a taste of Wisconsin's wilderness, head to the Northwoods region. Eagle River is known for its stunning lakes, outdoor activities like fishing and boating, and the beautiful fall foliage.


Great River Road


Drive along the Great River Road, which follows the course of the Mississippi River. Enjoy breathtaking views, charming river towns, and opportunities for bird-watching and outdoor recreation.


From the natural beauty of its lakes and forests to its rich cultural experiences, Wisconsin offers a wide range of activities to suit every traveler's interests. Embrace the warm hospitality of the locals and take in the unique charm that defines this wonderful state.

My Reviews

Amazing trip to Latin America
I was in search of finding a travel agent that could help me book a multi-destination solo trip to Latin America. While I initially considered planning it myself, someone encouraged me to work with a travel agent and I stumbled upon Brian's profile and ended up working with him. He helped me diligently plan the trip to three different countries. I wouldn't have been able to effectively do it without his services nor was I aware of where to go. Overall, I was very satisfied with the services Brian provided and will use him again for future travel!

A travel agent who rocks!
Brian has been a wealth of resources and we have been thrilled to work with a professional travel agent who cares so much for client satisfaction. We've never been to Hilton Head before and Brian provided us with options, direct links, available discount codes, suggested tours and much more. He was sensitive to our budget and helped us find a great place to stay with all the amenities we wanted for a price that fell within that budget. Pretty sure we could not have done this without him. Thank you, Brian!

Long Weekend in Boston
I called on Brian who is an old friend because I heard he was working as a travel agent. My husband and I took an impromptu road trip to Boston for a long weekend, but didn't have a lot of time to plan what to do once we got there. Brian was able to get us a hotel room. And he sent us some recommendations for tours we could take. We were able to book those online in a matter of minutes. We took a tour of Fenway Park and a walking tour of the historic downtown. Great recommendations.
