Itinerary

Cincinnati is a foodie city and we make sure you try five local favorites! We enjoy a full size Belgium waffle, sample German goetta, enjoy a Skyline Cincinnati-style chili cheese coney, a scoop of Graeter’s black raspberry chocolate chip ice cream, a chocolate chip cookie from a beloved bakery, visit a vendor who has been here since 1921 and enjoy a sweet and savory treat at Findlay Market. (Findlay Market is closed on Mondays. An alternate food stop is provided).

We begin the tour at Taste of Belgium Bistro for a savory Belgium waffle. We walk toward the banks of the Ohio River and view the magnificent Roebling Suspension Bridge. We walk past the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, to Great American Ball park, Fountain Square, the Tyler Davidson Fountain, the Carew Tower, and the Contemporary Art Center. We catch the streetcar to historic Over the Rhine. We stroll past Music Hall in Washington Park. We ride the streetcar to Findlay Market for our final food stops. Your guide will share the history of Cincinnati, the beautiful architecture, city parks, fountains, museums and outdoor murals.
Please note: Findlay Market is closed on Mondays, so we are unable to visit. We provide an alternate food stop.

The Cincy Top 10 Tour is the best city tour for kids of all ages. It is fast-paced and entertaining. Our talented guides engage everyone on the tour, especially children. 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.
On this guided city tour, you walk and ride the free streetcar. We stop along the way to sit down and enjoy five local favorite foods. It is a well-balanced and entertaining tour. The tour includes 2 miles of walking spread out over three hours. If walking is a challenge, the Cincinnati Streetcar Tour or the Findlay Market tour is less strenuous.

When visiting Cincinnati, visitors want to relax and feel safe. On a Riverside Food Tour, you’re in good hands. Our tour guides are local, friendly, mature, and professional! As the tour concludes, you may stay and shop at Findlay Market, and return on your own. But, if not, your guide will be by your side from start to finish.
