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!

My "just along for the ride" attitude changed quickly! It was worth the time and money and I'd even do another tour! - I was pleasantly surprised by how much the experience exceeded expectations. I was "just along for the ride," since my friend invited me to the Ethnic Food tour for her birthday celebration. There are an overwhelming amount of restaurant options in OTR. This tour simplified the choices. Going to 5 spots in one day and having the food ready upon arrival was amazing! Our guide Jackie shared hstorical tidbits and stories along the way that were engaging and interesting. (I typically find most history to be boring, but this is the tastiest and most enjoyable way to learn!) Also, I normally think hummus is disgusting, but the pesto hummus at Aladins was yummy! The turtle at Gomez was my favorite. I'm going back for more this week! The Vietnamese pancake was scrumptious! I'd do a tour with Jackie again, for sure!

OTR cultural experience - Laura is very knowledgeable, provided us with a lot of historical and cultural information about the people who immigrated here to live in this area. The selection of restaurants was varied, unique and tasty!!

Over the Rhine Food Tour Totally Fun and Informative - What a fun way to get to know the city. Laura and her husband are incredibly gracious hosts. What's better: they LOVE, LOVE, LOVE their city, and they show it off with pride and fun! I learned so much about the food offerings of Cinci, as well as the history of German settlement there. Great lore, great food, and great way to spend an evening. Thank you!

Food tour in OTR - Great tour through OTR. The food was delicious and there was enough that we felt full at the end of the tour. Our guide, Jackie, was both informative and great to talk to. We also learned information about this part of Cincinnati that we did not know before.
