Highly recommended! Fun and filled with fascinating Cincinnati history - I learned a lot about my hometown. It surprised me how much much history is condensed in that part of Cincinnati. It made me love my city even more. I enjoyed all of it, particularly the imperial theater tour. Our tour guides, Robert and Marcha knew so much about Cincinnati history, and their enthusiasm was contagious.

Average - It wasn’t as ghostly or spooky as we were hoping. The theater and underground cellar were neat though.
