Wonderful way to spend the day if you’re in Cincinnati and looking for something to do! Laura was a fantastic guide and look forward to coming back again and doing another one of their many tours:)
Fantastic experience. Juliann was great! If you are considering a tour definitely go with this company. They are local and know the city because they live here.
David, our guide, was funny, knowledgeable and had a loudness to his voice so we all could hear him. He gave us exactly what we wanted...knowledge about the city and food that makes Cincy a place to want to visit again. And I hope to.
