Is This the Right Tour for Me?
I’m visiting Cincinnati and I have never visited Findlay Market. I want to see as much as possible in a short amount of time. For first-time visitors, the market can be overwhelming. But we make it fun with an in-person guide at your side. We can skip the lines and maneuver to our favorite spots. The tour concludes around noon, so you have the rest of the afternoon to return to some of your favorite shops.
I want to try the local foods that Cincinnati is known for. Findlay Market has a dazzling array of stalls, shops and restaurants to visit. We enjoy a full size Belgium waffle, sample German goetta, a Lebanese samosa, goetta, a fresh smoothie, chicken salad, croissants and more.
I enjoy walking, as long as it’s not too strenuous. This tour features the least amount of walking. We begin the tour with two restaurants where we sit and dine. The rest of the tour is walking from shop to shop.
I’m looking for a tour that the whole family can enjoy. The Findlay Market tour is fine for children. The market is crowded on Sunday mornings, so a stroller may be a challenge to maneuver. Children five years and younger are free, but do not receive any food. Parents my share or bring snacks. Children age six and older require a ticket.
I enjoy learning the history of the neighborhood. On this tour, you will learn the history of Ohio’s oldest continuously operating public market built in 1852. It is not only a four season farmer’s market, but it lies in the heart of Cincinnati’s historic Over-the-Rhine neighborhood surrounded by unique shops, restaurants and beautiful Italianate architecture.
