Best Cincy tour for food and history! - Highly recommended!!! We recently moved back to Cincinnati after being away for 10 years and this was the best reintroduction to the city I could have ever imaged. The food was awesome and the interesting facts about the area we toured were fascinating. We were looking for the perfect Sunday activity and this was definitely it!

Escape your self imposed lockdown and enjoy life - My son and I loved the Signature Over-the-Rhine Tour. We are frequent flyer of Barb Cooper's great commentary and advanced prepared food stops. We enjoy the comradery she has with us tourist and the business owners. I have to admit I am a native of Cincinnati and the tours are generally 20 minutes from my home. This is a perfect get away from Covid lockdown and a chance to take a walk and talk with friendly people.

Over The Rhine Grand Slam!! - We took this tour based upon the recommendation of my sister. And we are certainly GLAD we did. I was born and raised the the Cincinnati area. The over the Rhine area wasn't always the best area. We had 2 friends with us that were VERY hesitant to go with us. What a pleasant surprise when we toured that area! It has been improved tremendously! We hardly recognized several of the areas. Because one of our party didn't think she could walk the entire distance, Amy Templeton recommended we take the trolley. Any was AMAZING! Her knowledge of the area and it's history was par excel-lance!! We started at the French Crust bistro which was FANTASTIC. With that one restaurant, Amy scored a home run right off the bat! Then it was a quick stroll to the Findlay Market and several other sites. We were so impressed and happy that we did this tour that we are going to do it again next year!

OTR Food Tour - My wife and I enjoyed the OTR food tour immensely. The tour took us through the streets of Cincinnati's historic OTR ( Over The Rhine) district with its many excellent small restaurants and amazing 19th century architecture. Our tour leader Barb shared information about the fascinating history of the district. The tour group size is limited to 8 people and offers a great opportunity to share the tour experience with others in the group. There are many small restaurants in the district (none of them are chain restaurants). We sampled specialty food items of 5 restaurants. If you are a tourist visiting Cincinnati, the OTR Food Tour offers a experience in a district that is uniquely Cincinnati.

Fun food tour - We picked this tour to take out of towners on because it was a new twist and less walking than other tours. We now have a new perspective of a part of town we don't visit often and reasons to return. I would recommend this tour to those who live here or not, as long as you are open to trying new foods.

Cincinnati Food and History - Great experience! Only 9 guests in the tour which allowed ample time for questions. Our guide was Amy. She is a chef who has worked at several restaurants in Cincinnati and knows many of the chefs who work in OTR. She has an excellent knowledge of the history of OTR and all the restaurants and bars in the area.
We visited 4 restaurants and tasted food in each place.

Fun, Informative, and Delicious, even if you already live downtown! - My fiancé and I had a blast on this food tour! We have lived in OTR for two years now, would definitely recommend for people who live in OTR and people from outside of the city! Our tour guide, Barb, was so much fun. She had cool facts about the restaurants and some of the local architecture in between restaurants. I learned a lot about our neighborhood from this tour! As OTR residents, we expected to hit some stops on the food tour that we have been before, but every stop we had a menu item we had never had before. Every stop was delicious, and we left feeling so full! We did a group tour opposed to a private tour, and the other families we fun to chat with. Overall, I would highly recommend this tour. We plan to check out some of Barbs other tours. Take a tour with Barb, you won’t regret it!

Walking with Heidi - We enjoyed all the sites along the walking portion of the tour and the tidbits of information we learned along the way. The four stops to try a slice of pizza or a cannoli were good too. A great way to try some new food spots and learn about the area. Heidi was our guide and she was passionate about what she does which made it even better.
