Great walking tour of Cincinnati - We had a great walking tour of the city with David, our tour guide, who was very friendly, courteous and knowledgeable. Would recommend Riverside Food Tours.

Great time in Cincy! - Mike was very knowledgeable about the history of the city. Good food choices, and a good blend of storytelling mixed in as we walked through the city and jumped on the street car a few times.

Excellent Walking Tour - Our guide (David) was knowledgeable and easy to listen to. We saw a tremendous selection of Cincinnati sights and enjoyed several food highlights spaced throughout the tour. Even though it was a walking tour (and I'm 67 with a bad knee!) I was able to keep up without problems. The pace was easy with frequent stops for sightseeing and briefings. I highly recommed this to those interested in seeing and learning about the city and its history up close.

David is Cincinnati’s quintessential ambassador - A must-do if you love learning a city’s: history, both past and recent, heritage and roots, highlights, and famous figures. Then to top it off you experience the tastes of Cincinnati. David was such an excellent guide and ambassador for his city. Highly recommend.

Nice food, good guide - We got here after a whirlwind tour of Chicago and an overnight journey on Amtrak, so we were tired. I wanted to see Cinci because a favorite author of mine, Kim Harrison, has the Hollows series based around this city.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating and even offered to carry our bags for us since we couldn't keep them anywhere. The food tastings were amazing and the pace of the tour was good as well. There is a lot of walking but since everyone was older than me, he made sure that the pace was good to not tire us out too much. I just wish we could have visited the underground railroad. That was the one thing I really wanted to do.

Eating, history and site-seeing all in one? Hurrah - I really enjoyed this tour of downtown Cincinnati. The tour is a nice combination of seeing sites, learning history, and eating, lots of eating. Our guide Dave showed us around the various areas, we saw the Reds displays around the stadium, local building murals, learned to ride the trolley, Music Hall, and Findlay Market. One thing I appreciated was getting to try several Cincinnati specific dishes: Cincinnati Chili and Goetta. There is walking on this tour but only one small hill to climb. I was indeed full at the end. Dave even took pictures of the group at various points and sent them to us. He was always interesting, kind, and full of information. I still share his story about the Scottish place that brought over Scottish soil to place under the restaurant. My friends love it. I do recommend this tour as a good way to learn about Cincinnati. As a side note the start point is near the Trolley line service which was a plus for us.
