Thanks Cesar. You and the group were perfect guests too. Even with the drizzle and cloudy skies at the beginning, everyone was upbeat and friendly. I enjoyed meeting you and I appreciate you choosing Riverside Food Tours to spend your Sunday afternoon!

The meeting place was convenient with parking close by. Jackie, our guide, loves history and it shows. Her enthusiasm for her city is evident in her enthusiasm and her knowledge is endless. We started out with noodles which she brought for us already and while we sat around eating at a picnic bench within the park she showed us pictures and discussed the area. She makes sure you have restroom breaks and there are opportunities for water or drinks for purchase at stops along the way. She will adjust her pace to yours, always considerate of her guests. Our second stop was delicious at poke Bowl abd everyone loved it as well as the bubble tea provided. We continued on learning the history and marveling at some of the many murals in the city. I was visiting my cousins who live her from San Diego,CA and Lake Tahoe, NV and they were surprised at how much they didn’t know about their city. The architecture was so interesting too with its styles and German background. Being in the travel industry this was not my first food tour. I find them a good way to familiarize yourself with a city and learn about restaurants other than those on the tourist lists. Even as a regular visitor to favored vacation spots I find hat I have learned about all the hole in the wall and off the beaten path places for food (including food trucks) that I have driven by and ignored. The food was ample, delicious, spaced well, and even included desserts, yay! We especially appreciated the air conditioning at two spots. Kudos to your company and to you , Jackie, for a superb job. Looking forward to doing another of your tours.

This food tour was great! Our tour guide, Jackie was very knowledgeable. I have lived in Cincinnati for close to 33 years and I learned things that I never knew before. The food choices were excellent and portions were generous!! I learned about this tour through Viator as I have taken recent tours in other cities. This was one of the best tours that I have done, even though it is in my city. Highly recommend the tour and Jackie!
