Trolly & Walking food tour of downtown Cincinnati. - Donna was our tour guide. She did a fabulous job. She was very friendly and accommodating to our needs. She was very knowledgeable of the area we toured. There was more walking than we expected, but There was plenty of time at each location to eat and rest. We did not feel rushed. The food was delicious. The best Bangers & Mash I ever had. What a nice surprise. We would recommend this tour to everyone.

Great way to see Cincy! - Beth was our guide for this food tour. My husband and I booked this just to pass some time in Cincinnati as we were passing through but we're definitely coming back for some of their other food tours! Amazing eats and great city history tidbits from our guide. Thoroughly enjoyed the group of people we toured with as well. Highly recommend!

Sets a Table for Everyone - If you love history, if you appreciate food, and like making connections....please take this tour . Laura (Riverside Tours) and her thoughtful attention to detail was so appreciated. We learned a great deal about the history of Cincinnati and enjoyed being encouraged to explore more about the city. The welcome we experienced at every restaurant we visited was very genuine. That was in no small part due to Laura and her associates. I can't recommend this tour highly enough.

Great afternoon in Cincinnati - This tour was a lot of fun! I grew up in Cincinnati (left in 2008) and still learned a lot of new things about the city. The food choices were well thought out, but make sure you come hungry - it’s a lot! Plan on a late dinner afterwards. Our guide Beth was wonderful, she really made it great.

Five star tour with a great guide. - Five star. Beth was our tour guide and we had a great time. She has such a great wealth of knowledge about Cincinnati, of which we had no knowledge of it beforehand. I am sure when we come back to the city we will take another tour with Riverside Food Tours.
