Ethnic Food Tour - My family and I enjoyed what turned out to be a solo food tour with a very personable, Terry as our guide. Our request for vegetarian fare was met with delicious offerings at each of the six stops in OTR. We learned some new things as Terry shared his knowledge of Cincinnati.

Amazing experience! - We had such an awesome time on our tour of OTR. The restaurant selections were perfect and the food was amazing. Terry did a wonderful job sharing the history of the city with us - even though I’ve lived in Cincinnati most of my life, I learned so much from him!
