Cincinnati Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Great tour guide and overview of the history

Harrison was a great guide. He kept things lively and had lots of information on the history of the area, as well as the caverns and the local brewing industry over the years. Highly recommended.

Laura was very knowledgeable and shared historically spooky information throughout. Fun equipment to explore and “make contact” was handed out. Recommend

Tour guide Kanah was terrific with historical information about the OTR on our visit to Queen City. My family and I was in town for Kickoff Weekend.

Awesome. Our tour guide was fantastic. The food was excellent and overall we had a great time. We learned a lot about the history of Cincinnati. Recommend this tour.

My friend and I came to Cincinnati for a baseball game and also this food tour. Penny was very nice, and very knowledgeable about allot of history of the area. The food was incredible! All the different foods and hikes in the wall type places made the experience amazing. I can’t rave enough about all of it, especially the turtle (Mexican dish) and the homemade ice cream. But truly it was all delicious. We would highly recommend this tour and we hope you get Penny as your guide!

Hats off to Jackie our fabulous tour guide from Riverside Tours. This was our first trip to Cincinnati and Jackie welcomed us by text with directions and asking for any accommodations we might need. The tour was organized as Jackie easily moved us through the city stopping for delicious food at many eateries. We highly recommend this tour and you will need an appetite. Many thanks to Jackie for sharing her beloved Cincinnati with us!

Had a great time doing this outdoor escape room. It was about the right difficulty. It wasn’t easy. Each of us contributed to figure out each section. We enjoyed walking around the city and seeing some new things.

I wanted something interesting to do with my family (2 adults and 2 tweens) for Labor Day weekend, so I decided to book a food tour. We’re from Cincinnati, but sometimes it’s fun to be a tourist in your hometown.We had a great time! Our tour guide, Penny, sent us a text the day of to confirm the meeting point at the market. She gave us a good sense of what to expect, but also kept the food “stops” a bit of a surprise. We all enjoyed the food tastings-even as native Cincinnatians, they were some things we’d never tried!!! I worried it might be a bit much for the tweens, but they really enjoyed the food and walking through downtown/OTR. Penny was a delight to tour with. She gave us a good amount of Cincinnati history, and a good overall tour.There is quite a bit of food and quite a bit of walking, so come hungry and wear comfy shoes.

Jack was a great tour guide filled with knowledge. I recommend this tour for sure!

Terrific experience. Our guide, Juliann was knowledgeable and very pleasant. Highly recommend.

Kanah was a wonderful guide and shared so much local history! It’s a good activity to do with a partner or friends.

Jack, was excellent with his historical background knowledge, concise, informative, intelligent and humorous commentary!! Would highly recommend him!!

Saturday brunch tour was great. Laura our guide was super-knowledgeable and fun. All the food was good, some excellent. Definitely recommended. Make sure to try the Goetta!

Definitely worth the visit. Very informative and interesting. Learned new things and enjoyed the interactive portion

Event was good. A little parking advice would have helped. Love VVG! Thanks for keeping his memory alive. The 2 VR experiences were a nice improvement over version 1.0.
