What To Expect
The Banks is a mixed-use development along the Ohio River in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio, on the land between the Bengals Football Stadium and Great American Ball Park. The Banks Project represents the single biggest shift in thinking and developing the riverfronts potential since the canal development started in the 1820s.
Roebling Suspension Bridge
The John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge is a suspension bridge that spans the Ohio River between Cincinnati, Ohio, and Covington, Kentucky. When it opened on December 1, 1866, it was the longest suspension bridge in the world at 1,057 feet main span, which was later overtaken by John A.

5.00This is a great tour to learn about the city and its food. My guide Mike is super knowledgeable. I knew about Skyline chili and Graeter's ice cream, but was pleasantly surprised by the Belguim waffle and egg and goetta sandwich. Plan to spend time after your tour at Findlay Market or riding the free light rail.

5.00Went on the Cincinnati Top 10 Sites and 5 Bites with Jackie. We have been on ten food tour around the U.S. over the years and this was by far the best ever. Jackie is an incredible tour guide who is very knowledgeable about the city and food scene. She lives Cincinnati and pours that passion into her tours. We learned so much about the history of Cincinnati and it was great that she took pictures of us at major sites and emailed them at the end of the day. All the food stops were good and reflected the culture of Cinci. The tour was about 3 hours and we didn't want it to end. Jackie had all the special attention to details and I love that she texted before the tour to provide info on where to meet and ask if there were any dietary restrictions. We never felt rushed and the tour included both walking and using the Cinci connector. Jackie told us about upcoming events this weekend and recommended dinner restaurants. She covered all the bases. I highly recommend this tour when visiting Cincinnati.
