Expand all

From Thanksgiving to Christmas, it’s Downtown Dazzle time in Cincinnati and what better way to see and taste your way through the city than on a Riverside Food Tour!

We gather at 12:45pm on Fountain Square in front of the Tyler Davidson Fountain. Come early or stay after if you want to join in the fun on the ice-skating rink!

Enjoy gliding through town on the Cincinnati Connector. It's warm and cozy as we ride by festive shops and city parks decorated for the season.

This is a tasting tour around the world! First, we’ll warm up at a Scottish Pub, enjoying bangers and mash. Next, ride the streetcar through Over the Rhine and enjoy four more treats at historic Findlay Market. We’ll sample Italian gelato, South American empanadas, German goetta, a Belgium waffle, festive cheese and fudge. Our last stop is a beautiful, renovated historic church. We'll enjoy a German pretzel and a sip of beer to end the tour!

Ride the streetcar to historic Findlay Market for four holiday treats.

Frequently asked questions

No, 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 a snow emergency, we would text or email you beforehand if the tour had to be canceled, rescheduled or refunded.
We walk a little, stop, sit, and taste over the course of 3 hours. The Christmas Streetcar Tour involves walking 15 minutes from the first restaurant to the streetcar. At Findlay Market, we walk from store to store. There are chairs to sit and rest. The total amount of walking is less than half a mile over 3 hours.
We welcome families with children on all our tours! In our experience, children 10 and older, interested in history will enjoy the tour. Children five years and younger are free, but do not receive any food. Parents may share or bring snacks. The streetcar is stroller-friendly. Children ages six and older require a ticket. Since it depends on the child’s age and attention span, we leave it to the parents to decide whether a 3-hour walking/streetcar tour is appropriate for their child.
Wear warm, weather-appropriate clothing and comfortable shoes. Bring an umbrella if needed, and cash for gratuities or small purchases.
Yes, the restaurants and Findlay Market have restrooms available.
Yes, there are opportunities to purchase alcoholic beverages at the first restaurant, at the outdoor beer garden at Findlay Market, and at the final restaurant.
Our guides greatly appreciate tips. Most guests tip their tour guides between 10-20%. Your tour price does include a 20% gratuity for the staff of our restaurant partners, but NOT for your tour guide. Another way to demonstrate your appreciation for a fantastic tour guide is by leaving a 5-star review that mentions them by name, which earns them a paid bonus.
