Delicious fun on the Mainstrasse Food Tour! - We had an amazing experience today with Mike from Riverside Food Tours! The food was absolutely delicious and plentiful — we left completely full and happy. Even better, the tour was packed with fascinating information and history about Covington. Mike was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire experience fun and engaging for our whole family. We loved learning about the city while enjoying wonderful local food along the way. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area or even locals wanting to discover more about Mainstrasse Village in Covington!

Amazing tour and guide! - As longtime Northern KY locals, we had such a great time getting to know Mainstrasse Village from a fresh perspective. The food was delicious, and the history was interesting, engaging, and perfectly paced. We’re already looking forward to going back and visiting several of the restaurants we discovered along the way. It made for a fun, relaxing Saturday, and we highly recommend this tour to both locals and visitors alike!

We are so full! Fun experience for locals, too. - We’re locals, and eat out a lot. We LOVE Covington! It’s our go to for a nice dinner or drinks. I booked the food tour on a whim as a way to learn a bit more about the city, and maybe discover some new favorites. It did not disappoint!!! Mike, our tour guide, was friendly and knowledgeable. We got to try several different types of food, and learned some history of Mainstrasse that we didnt know. By the time the tour ended, we were STUFFED! We decided it was a great value for our money. If you’re not familiar with Covingtons food scene, this is a great way to get started! We went as a couple. This would be a fun experience for a family, a group of friends, a date, etc. I’m glad we did it!!

Food tour for the win! - Mike was a fantastic guide! It was the perfect blend of delicious food and local history. Sadly it was a rainy day but he kept us under awnings when possible. The rain didn’t stop us we had a fantastic time!

A great time - Riverside Food Tours is a great company to select for your food tour experience. The restaurant & food choices are perfect & there is plenty to keep your hunger away! Mike was a great guide as is his wife (whom I've had the pleasure of having on a different tour they offer). I highly reccommend the Mainstrausse tour, you won't be disappointed! This was my husband's first food tour & he thoroughly enjoyed it.

Great food tour! - The tour was fantastic! Loved all of it. Mike was very knowledgeable of the area and kept our group on time. He ordered food , so it was ready for our group. Mike answered all questions we had of the area. The food tasting was so good and everyone had more than enough to eat. We’ve been on several food tours in many cities and we were not disappointed on this tour. We went to several of Mike’s recommendations after the tour and they they were all great! Highly recommend this tour!

If you are on the fence - DO IT ! - If you are on the fence about doing this trip or not...DO IT ! There are two main reasons why you should take the Mainstrasse Village Food Tour in Covington KY...1.). Covington is cool. Very "high vibe" and a range of experiences from total high end dining to just plain fun and "local" establishments in nature. 2.). We had Mike - and we read reviews saying Laura was awesome too - but the guide inputs along the way were SO interesting...Mike gave us so many interesting insights regarding the storied history of Covington KY and neighboring Cincinnati OH - it was a major bonus on top of the already super good food experiences and it added depth to the experience that you just wouldn't get on a "wander" trip. Bring a camera - there are so many "photo-ops" along the way in this adorable setting. Thanks very much, Riverside Food Tours - it was a great experience for the 6 of us in our family !
