A great and delicious day! - We (my husband and me) were fortunate to have a private tour led by Jackie. Jackie was delightful, and extremely knowledgeable. While we enjoyed delicious food - and lots of it, she told us really interesting stories of the OTR history. What a great day!

Ethnic tour - Laura was our guide on the ethnic tour. It was excellent! I’ve lived in Cincinnati all my life, and learned quite a few new pieces of information about the history. It was very enjoyable.! Food was great too!

Fantastic Food & History Tour of OTR! - It was a fantastic Exotic Food Tour of Over The Rhine and our guide Laura was phenomenal! It was as much a history tour as it was a food tour. All of the food was incredible! Highly recommend!

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.
