Top 10 Sites + Bites of Cincinnati Tour with Riverside Food Tours

It was an interesting walking and tasting tour. To have some food favor not just sweet will be great.

Being a cold winter Monday morning I was the only participant on the tour but it was a very enjoyable mixture of walking, eating and tramming. Highly recommend.

The 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!

In 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.

This 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.

Plenty of food and lots of sites and history of Cincinnati on this tour - we were full! Plenty of bathroom stops. One member of our group had a rollator and was able to fully participate. David our tour guide was spectacular!!

What a great tour! Our guide, Jackie, was so personable and quite knowledgeable about the city and its rich history. The food stops were amazing - especially the waffles and the ice cream! This is a 10/10 must do if visiting the city!

This 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.

Went 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.

Wonderful tour with Jackie! She is so knowledgeable and the food stops were great. Loved hearing history of Cincinnati and its hidden gems! Would definitely recommend!
