Cincinnati is known for its food. Enjoy dining at three sit-down restaurants at downtown Cincinnati's most beloved culinary destinations. Dishes might include a Scottish Pub known for the best ‘bangers and mash’, a fresh signature salad, or mouthwatering pretzels and cheese dip. Enjoy a gourmet burger or savor an authentic Mexican street taco with chips and guacamole. At Findlay Market, visit vibrant stalls, owned by local entrepreneurs featuring award-winning chocolate, exclusive cheese and fudge, authentic Belgian waffles, gelato, or the best banana pudding in town. Our restaurants vary from day to day, but the quality of the local dishes remains the same!
Note: Cincinnati's best-known foods, like chili, goetta and ice-cream are featured on the morning Cincy Top 10 Sites and Bites Tour.

Maximize your time on a well-planned and comprehensive tour of downtown. Learn the history, see beautiful architecture, and outdoor murals, and best of all, enjoy dining in top-notch local restaurants. Begin near the Banks of the Ohio River and travel by streetcar through the heart of the city north, through Over the Rhine, the historic German neighborhood. The tour continues to Findlay Market. Your guide shares the history of Cincinnati, the beautiful architecture, city parks, fountains, museums, and outdoor murals. Be informed and entertained on a Riverside Food Tour.

Begin your tour with a ride on the Cincinnati streetcar to the central business district. Stroll to the entertainment district for three sit-down savory dishes. Walk to Fountain Square and view the iconic Tyler Davidson Fountain. Next, ride north, through Over the Rhine, the beautifully restored German neighborhood, and continue to Findlay Market. The Streetcar tour combines riding and walking less than .5 miles during the three-hour tour.

The final destination is historic Findlay Market, named by Newsweek magazine as one of the 10 best markets in the world. For first-time visitors, the market can be overwhelming. But, it's fun with an in-person guide at your side. Skip the lines and enjoy 3 more sweet treats from the local market vendors. You may not want to leave. If so, the market is open till 6 pm for your convenience.

Frequently asked questions

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.
Wear casual, weather-appropriate clothing and comfortable shoes. Bring an umbrella if needed, a water bottle for hydration in warm weather, and cash for gratuities or small purchases.
We welcome families with children on all our tours! 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. 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.
Yes, the streetcar is accessible, but due to the distance of the tour, we recommend a motorized wheelchair or scooter. We walk .5 miles in addition to riding the free streetcar.
