Great way to experience Cincinnati - Great way to learn about Cincinnati and see all the sights. Anthony is a wonderful driver and tour guide… he’s actually quite dashing! Really appreciated his personal touch sharing his family story about the train station.

Do this tour first! - Do this tour first in Cincinnati. It will save you a lot of time and help you prioritize what you want to see. It took us to many places with great narration by our driver and guide Anthony and we saw detailed videos within the air conditioned van. Bring a notepad to note the places you want to to return to on your own since the tour only stops (for 15 Min) at the stunning art deco Union Train station.

Nice personal touch - The bus tour was part of our family reunion. Our driver/tour guide was Anthony and he was great! Super friendly, knowledgeable and comical. He added personal anecdotes to the video which made for a more personal tour. I especially enjoyed the story of his family history. Kudos to Anthony 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Thumbs up! - We had a wonderful time. Our guide was very informative and friendly. We were able to take some pictures we would not have been able to get without taking this tour. Our guide was able to teach us the history and entertain us with his sense of humor at the same time. Truly worth taking this tour!

We Loved It! - We thoroughly enjoyed our tour through Cincinnati. The points of interest were presented on a video screen as you drive by/stop each location which included a great deal of detailed & informative history for each site. Our Driver Chuck was wonderful, he's lived in Cincinnati his whole life and was able to add additional information on the incredible history of this beautiful city, in addition to recommendations on places to eat. It was a rainy Friday for our tour and the location was easy to find with convenient parking in the nearby garage. The bus was very clean, the video was easy to hear & see. It's a great option for folks who may be elderly or with physical limitations. Would highly recommend Cincy Tours to anyone visiting. Thank's mcuh to Chuck for a wonderful time! ~Nora & Nancie

Good, but not outstanding, trip - The guide, Anthony, was a 5. He supplemented the video and made the trip fun. If you are in the last row on a hot day, you will be hot as th AC is overhead and bypasses the row. If there are empty seats you can move up. The tour covers most of the main attractions in the city but photo ops are not great as there are trees and other things blocking the view as you try to snap a picture from the moving bus. The history was interesting. Overall, it is a reasonably priced tour but not as good as in other cities. I wish Cincinnati had a hop on, hop off version of the tour.

Tour could be improved.. - Historical overview ok, not able to fully appreciate all sites, a drop and pickup would work better.
