Good tour if you like Cincinnati Baseball history and beer - I took my dad for his 76th birthday. We enjoyed it very much. Our tour guide Aaron was very knowledgeable about the history and kept us entertained with quiz questions. We will definitely be back for other tours. We had a small group and a beautiful Saturday morning, finished off with a pint and a goetta sandwich. Well done.

Great tour! - This was such a cool tour! The tour guide was really knowledgeable about the city and its ties to baseball and beer. The bus was nice and the souvenir map was really nice quality, I am going to frame it. This is a perfect tour for someone who love baseball, beer, and history. I will be recommending this tour to others I know.

Baseball vacation - The tour was very informative. However, the tour guides needed microphones and also needed to know the information better so they weren't reading off the written scripts. It was a great way to see the city and the beer was good at the end

Wasn't what we thought it would be. But totally our misunderstanding. - A lot of history and we had to get off the bus often. It was hot and wasn't what we thought it would be. We thought we would be able to tour their baseball park.

No breweries on the tour, too hot for the summer - Our tour was very disappointing. Unfortunately there was a heat wave and our tour should have been cancelled for inclement weather. It was so hot outside that the tour guide didn't want us to get off at any of the stops, and the bus is built so that the seats face inward and you can't really see out of the windows to actually see the buildings that he was talking about. Then, the AC went out on the bus about halfway through and it was 100+ degrees inside of the bus. We had to get off because I have a 6 month old daughter and Ubered to meet them at the last stop. My dad stayed with the tour and said the other older children on the tour got very cranky because it was completely miserable inside. The tour guide seemed knowledgeable, but was not a great storyteller and it seemed like 2 hours of random facts strung together. We didn't visit any interesting sites or breweries except one brewery at the end. I'm not sure why this is called a brewery tour because you don't actually see or tour any breweries except that you have a free beer at the brewery at the end. We were very disappointed to have paid $70 per person to boil alive and listen to a guy ramble for two hours.
