Somewhere in middle America!
We came from out of state, and this was a fantastic way to learn about this area of the country! Max did a great job connecting the city's past, present and future in a way that made us want to explore more. The pace and distance was perfect for a beautiful Sunday afternoon walk.

A side of Omaha I’d never seen
I’ve lived in Nebraska my whole life, and Max still managed to show me a part of Omaha I’d never seen. I walked a shorter route with him and got a lot out of it. He’s incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the area, and it was really cool to get a different perspective on a city I thought I knew. Even being from here, there’s clearly a lot I’ve been missing. Definitely worth spending some time exploring Omaha with Max.

Amazing Omaha Tour
We are a retired couple in our 60’s and have lived in Nebraska for over 20 years and have spent alot of time in Omaha, there was so much we learned that we never knew! We learned about Omaha's role in the history of our country, and the growth of Omaha up to the present day. Walking was at an easy pace on all flat sidewalks. Downtown Omaha is beautiful and interesting!! Max was a great guide, and was very knowledgeable adding personal experiences of his own. He was thoughtful in planning resting spots in the shade with views , including a bathroom break. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone!! We appreciate Alex’s passion and love of history.

An enjoyable experience
The tour with Max was an excellent decision. He was friendly and knowledgeable and kept a comfortable pace. The tour consists of a wonderful layout of downtown Omaha. He shared incredible history about the different buildings and other historical areas. The tour was very informative, and I learned so much about Omaha. I had questions that he was able to answer. I recommend you do the tour as soon as you arrive in Omaha.
