Learned thing about Cincy you never knew!!! (Food is good too!)

5.00The food was good but the history we learned was wonderful. While we have been to Cincinnati several times, our guide David was wonderful. He taught us things about Cincy we either never noticed or never knew. David was personable and very knowledgeable. He was a pleasure. He asked if during the tour if there was anything he didn't cover or we wanted to know just to ask. By the way, I have seen goetta in the grocery store but never bought it. At our first stop we had goetta. I will now buy it. It was wonderful. A+ David.... A+!
Would recommend fabulous tour!

5.00We did the 10 sights and bites food tour with David and it was fabulous! He couldn't have been more attentive and knowledgeable as our host and went the extra mile to ensure we got to see everything and answered our barrage of questions! The food stops were all really enjoyable and unique to Cincinnati. The tour really made our trip memorable, thanks again David!

5.00The food stops were the right amount of food. I got to try 2 new-to-me local foods (and I’m a foodie) -not haute cuisine, but yummy. Our guide David was super knowledgeable about local history and made the tour very worthwhile. I think I fell in love with Cincinnati!
A city with history and an eye on the future

5.00In a three-hour walking/streetcar experience, you get an introduction to “The Queen City” of unusual depth. Starting with new development along the historic riverfront, strolling by the grand entrance to the Great American Ballpark with its sculptures of the best Reds of all, craning at the major corporate buildings - Proctor and Gamble, Kroger and more - then exploring the roots of culture in the Over The Rhine neighborhood. You get a sense of a unified city’s place in America. Along the way, you the eclectic tastes offered here, from Belgian waffles to iconic coney dogs to ice cream, cheeses and fudge. David, our guide, explains the history, but stresses the forward-looking commitment to sports, arts and business. It’s a lot of walking but well worth it.
A big picture of Cincinnati told in stories about pioneers and strong leaders.

- Review from Viator
5.00This tour focused on the history, over the past 150 years or so, of Cincinnati’s ethnic, cultural and commercial traditions and future. The guide used food, from the ‘ Porkopolis’ nickname to the Findlay Market to the giant Kroger empire, to illustrate the city’s position in the growth of the American economy. David related the efforts of small business persons and civic leaders to develop a renewing, unified community. He could provide answers to almost any question and kept the pace of the tour within the capabilities of the tour group.
Lots of Food and Sites!

Queen City shines

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.
