Is This Tour Right For Me?
I’m looking for a food tour that includes vegan dishes. This is the tour for you! The Saturday morning Cincinnati Streetcar Tour with vegan options is similar to the 1pm afternoon Streetcar tour. We vary the restaurants to include foods that cater to every guests, whether you are an omnivore, vegetarian or vegan.
I’m curious what foods are served. Our restaurants vary from day to day. We may visit a Mexican restaurant serving authentic street tacos with fresh guacamole, a Scottish Pub, or enjoy a beautiful salad with a grilled baguette. The Court Street area has an array of exciting new restaurants to choose from including Asian foods and American favorites. At Findlay market, we visit vibrant stalls, owned by local entrepreneurs featuring award-winning chocolate, or an exclusive vegan deli, a gelato shop or the best banana pudding in town.
I like the option of ordering a glass of wine or a craft beer along the way. Alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages are available to purchase at the first three restaurants. Ice water is always served to quench your thirst.
I’m visiting Cincinnati for the first time. Maximize your time on a well planned and comprehensive tour of downtown. Learn the history, see beautiful architecture, story high murals and best of all, enjoy dining in the best local restaurants.
I’ve lived in Cincinnati my whole life, but rarely visit downtown. A food tour is the perfect opportunity to step out of your comfort zone and dine at a variety of restaurants, that you may have never visited. Local residents are amazed at the knowledge and history shared on a food tour. Entertaining out of town guests or celebrating a special occasion? A food and culture tour is even more fun with family and friends!
I like dining at privately owned restaurants to get a flavor of the local cuisine. On this tour, we dine at three sit-down restaurants enjoying savory hearty dishes. More than a tasting, we are enjoying a progressive meal. More is yet to come. We promise you won’t leave hungry.
I enjoy the luxury of being shown around a new city and knowing I’m safe. Rest assured. You’re in good hands. Our tour guides are local, friendly, mature and professional! As the tour comes to a close, you can choose to shop at the Market, continue your adventure on the streetcar or your guide will be happy to escort you back to the original starting point.
I like to see as much as possible. On this tour, we 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. Our tour includes a visit to Findlay Market with three more lighter tastings.
