So much FUN and FOOD packed into 3 hours! - The best way to experience Cincinnati! I have been on two tours now, and neither has disappointed. Your 3 hours is packed with history and delicious food. For the price, you get SO MUCH! Jackie was passionate and knowledgeable about every stop. To finding out about little secrets around the city, to dinning in hidden gems, this is one of best things I’ve done in Cincy! Even better and cheaper than a Reds or Bengals game! TAKE A RIVERSIDE TOUR! You will be happy you did.

Great food, great company and city history - Laura was a great host/guide. Our food stops were all very good and learned so much history of the city. It was a small group so we had plenty of time for chit chat and questions.

Didn't know what I was missing! - I have always wanted to go on a food tour but never took the time to do it. I had no idea what I was missing! It was so much fun!! Jackie, our tour guide, was so knowledgeable of the history of Cincinnati and I learned a lot of interesting facts. She was also so friendly and funny which I appreciated. And have I mentioned the portion size of the food? I thought we would get tiny little samples and I was wrong! We each had so much that we were full by the end of the tour - and it was all delicious!! I highly recommend this tour and I can't wait to go on another one that they offer!
