What walking tour guests say

★★★★★
Had a great time on the Riverside food tour. We learned a lot about the area, the food we were tasting, and local Cinci history. The three hour tour went by in a flash! Would definately do this again or try one of their other tours. Good Times!

Walking tour questions

We walk a little, stop, sit and taste over the course of 3 hours. Each tour varies in distance from less than one mile on the Mainstrasse Village tour versus 2.5 miles on The Cincy Top 10 Sites and Bites City Tour + Streetcar. To see the walking distance, check the description for each specific tour.

The tour includes one mile of walking over three hours! If walking is a challenge, we advise against this tour. We walk, stop, eat, and repeat. This walking/streetcar tour is designed to see as much as possible in 3 hours. If you prefer a less strenuous tour, choose the Cincinnati Streetcar Tour or the Findlay Market tour.
The Ethnic Eats in Over-the-Rhine-Tour is a walking tour. While we walk over the course of three hours, the distance is less than one mile. We walk a short bit, sit, dine and repeat.
The Over the Rhine Cocktail Tour is a 2.5-hour walking tour. We walk less than half a mile, stopping for drinks and snacks along the way. There may be a flight of stairs at one of the stops.

Yes, tours are given in rain, shine, hot or cold weather. Normally, we are inside 70% of the time. In the event of bad weather, we will limit the outside time as much as possible. Nevertheless, please dress appropriately. In the event of life threatening weather, we would text or email you beforehand if the tour had to be canceled, rescheduled or refunded.

Dress casual, wear layers and comfortable shoes.

Yes, all the restaurants have public restrooms.
Yes, the tour is family friendly. Children five years old and younger are free, but do not receive any food. Parents may share or bring snacks. The streetcar is stroller-friendly. Children age six and older require a ticket.
