We are a couple from Dayton, Ohio and decided to spend a day exploring Cincinnati. One of the highlights of our visit was the underground tour, and it far exceeded our expectations. The tour was informative, well-organized, and genuinely fascinating. Learning about Cincinnati’s underground spaces and the history hidden beneath the city gave us a completely new perspective on an area we thought we already knew. Harrison was knowledgeable, engaging, and did a great job balancing historical detail with storytelling, which kept the experience interesting from start to finish. The pace of the tour was comfortable, the explanations were easy to follow, and it felt like a unique experience you simply wouldn’t get on your own. It was both educational and fun, and it added real depth to our day trip.
Surpassed expectations!

Good experience overall, though you absolutely must be able to walk longer distances and climb up and down stairs that are awkward. If you have mobility concerns, I would not recommend this tour. While the underground areas were interesting, it seems like we heard more stories than got to explore underground areas. Most of the tour was above ground.
Go for it!

“Baconator” was informative and fun. The group was also pleasant and even on a cold day this was a perfect thing to do. A great way to learn more about our city! We counted some good trivia and facts none of us knew before! Lisa was terrible though;) (Inside joke). We will book with this crew again for sure. Additionally very attentive prepping for the tour online as well as once we arrived.
AMAZING TIME

We had the best time with our guide Miranda McGee. She made the tour, I have already told everyone I know to take this tour and ask for Miranda. We are planning a return trip to Cincinnati and look forward to doing another tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and fun.
