We love learning about different cities and getting the chance to taste food we have never had before. This tour was just what we were looking for. We started at the Findlay Market. Then we took the street car so we could continue to explore downtown. We got to try several foods Cincinnati is known for like the goetta, skyline chili, Graeter's ice cream and so much more. Thank you Mr Michael J. We really enjoyed the tour.

Karen was a wonderful guide! We enjoyed some amazing food spots and loved learning about Cincinnati history, culture and traditions. We do food tours most places we travel to and this one ranks as one of the best! Also enjoyed riding the Connector and seeing so many different areas as part of the tour.

The food was great at all the stops and Penny was extremely nice and informative. You felt very comfortable walking around while enjoying the food stops even in the middle of a football crazed Sunday where we mingled with the crowd effortlessly. It made you feel united and there were times at other places where it was much quieter to savor the samples of food we tasted. A very nice day
Top notch experience

Karen was polite and knowledgeable. She brought many fun facts to the numerous tables we sat at while on tour with her. She taught us so much about Cincinnati. All the foods were delicious.
