Roebling Suspension Bridge

Our tour starts at the iconic first bridge across the Ohio River. This bridge speaks to Cincinnati's rich history, global influence (it should look familiar to a bridge in NYC) and rich artistic heritage.

  • Not worth the money.

    Tour covered only 6 blocks. There was no voice so you had to read both directions and information off your phone. The 14 stops were more fore pictures and there was was no map so if you wanted to skip a stop it was difficult.you start at a he carousel and the next 4 stops are within 500 feet. Pay for a guided tour.

  • Excellent

    It was interesting. I wish it would have said you can move ahead without getting the trivia type question correct. I eventually figured it out. We enjoyed the tour. The good thing is - everytime we stopped to figure something out, some one would stop and ask, “can I help you find something?”. What a friendly town. Even the officer in Fountain Square asked us and asked if he could share some information about the area. Shared WKRP in Cincinnati tidbits that would have been great to have on the tour info too. I think there may be free downtown audio tours - not sure.

    Bad technology made trip impossible. The program nver knew where we were. We had to ask other tourists and vendors. We gave up on this after two stops. It spoiled a nice day.

  • Not worth the money.

    Way too expensive for what it was. Only “toured” a few blocks of the city. Similar tours in other cities are much cheaper, gps coordinated and much more interesting.

  • Decent value

    Entertaining, a few hidden gems, but smaller in scope than expected. Missed key points. QA aspect was interesting, but isn’t always work.

  • Going at our own pace.

    This was very informative and helpful. We enjoyed learning SO much about Cincinnati in such a short time. It was also nice to go at our own pace. My request would be that there would be a title of each location so we know what we are looking for and a small embedded map of the cross streets without opening another map link.

    Lots of excellent info about the city and even some hidden gems. We plan on doing the tour of our own city as well!!

    There are no guided tours of Cincinatti so we did this one and it was ok. However, it cost much more than other self-guided tours and it didn't have audio. The information about the stops were pretty sparse, presumably because it would have taken too long to read. We went inside the Dixie Terminal to take a look and the man at the desk gave us handouts about the history of the building and of the Roebling bridge, which were well worth getting and had way more detail than the tour.

  • Great

    My daughter and I really enjoyed this walking tour. It is very well explained and it is not too long, you can also rest a little in between some stops.
