Great tour to take kids! - If you're headed to Cincinnati, we would recommend this tour. Its hard to get my kids interested in any type of tour or sight seeing experience unless it includes food. This was a great tour to take with kids, food was good, and the tour was excellent. Tour guide David was knowledgeable, friendly and gave great recommendations. We thought the tour was well worth it! FYI - Findlay market is closed on Monday, they still had good alternates for us on Monday but missed the market.

Fabulous Intro to Cincinnatti - Wonderful tour highly recommend!!! David was a great tour guide and was very knowledgeable! The tour was 3 hours and combined walking with a free trolley ride (public transportation). The length was just right and the walking was easy and broken up nicely with the food stops. The food was a great selection of local favorites - decadent belgian waffle, yummy goetta sausage hash, excellent skyline chili cheese dog, great Graeter's ice cream and a colossal chocolate chip cookie!!! Be sure to arrive hungry!!!

Food, architecture, and art! - I was traveling solo for business and wanted to get a quick tour of the city. I am so glad I did it. I am leaving with a taste of Cincinnati’s food, art, and great culture. None of which I would have gotten otherwise from my hotel conference. David was a great guide who took his time to explain the cities neighborhoods, neat architectural highlights, and point out interesting bits of art all throughout the tour. And we got some local food along the way. I would recommend that others take the tour as well.

Amazinh - Mike was amazing. He was very informative about the food, the history of the city, and he even showed us how to navigate the city after the tour. The sites were good, and the food was even better. Thank you Mike!

Great overview of the city - It was my first time in Cincinnati, and this tour was perfect . I learned so much from Jackie, our tour guide, about city history, city landmarks, and foods specific to Cincinnati. We walked, we got to ride Cincinnati connector, we got to try local delicacy. We weren't rushed. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone visiting Cincinnati.

Tastes of the town with a great city overview - This tour was amazing! David, our guide, is so knowledgeable about the city I can’t imagine anyone else could do a better job. It’s not just a tasting tour (the samples were worth every calorie) but the facts that just flow out of David were educational and entertaining. You just can’t get better than that. I’ve taken tours like this all over the world so I’ve got some comparative references. He also goes out of his way to answer specific questions about the surrounding area as well as right where you are. This is my first time in Cincinnati so getting this overview with all the helpful hints was exactly want I wanted as an introductory overview of the city. And this company has very effective communications procedures in place so you get contacted before and after. That’s the sign of a well run operation. A business like this is really is affected by recommendations so definitely 10 out of 10 from me!

Highly recommend! - Jackie was fabulous as well as the sites we visited and the food tasting. This tour is a lot of fun and a good way to learn about the city. Would recommend doing this early in your stay, it helped tremendously. Jackie is very knowledgeable and one of the best guides we’ve had traveling. All of the food stops were delicious so bring an appetite. Jackie provides a lot of history and information for each spot. This tour does utilize the connector to get to some of the different areas. Would highly recommend and ask for Jackie.
