Fantastic brunch tour - What a fabulous brunch tour! It was a great way to taste a variety of unique food items offered at the Findlay Market. Our tour guide, Laura, did a great job pointing out other points of interest in the market and sharing history of the market and the different vendors we visited. We were very intrigued by the German influences in Cincinnati as well as the beautiful architecture. Highly recommend Laura and the tour. You won’t leave hungry!

History and food: What’s not to love? - Laura was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and enthusiastic. She made sure we had enough time; we certainly had enough food! She is obviously in love with Cincinnati and shares that love generously. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a tasty bit of history many delicious bites.

Amazing Experience and Value - The Findlay Market Sunday Brunch is an impressive tour featuring the most stops I have ever experienced in a food tour. (This is my 15th food tour; first in Cincinnati.) In addition, we sampled a wide variety of foods from the amazing variety of local and ethnic restaurants in the Findlay Market area. Our tour guide Laura has a fantastic way of combining the history of the area with the evolution of the food scene; we were fortunate to meet several restaurant managers and owners. The amount of walking for this tour is negligible and manageable. Food portions will keep you satisfied for hours. Pre, during, and post communication for this event was A+. The Cincinnati food atmosphere is world class; start your visit with this tour!

Sunday Funday - The tour was great. Laura, our guide, was knowledgeable and informative about the history and eateries downtown. If you’re local or visiting I highly recommend. The food was amazing. I’ve lived in the area most of my life and gained a wealth of history and new places to eat. A great day to spend a Sunday.
