We had a wonderful time on this tour! Our guide was very personable and knowledgeable about the all things Cincinnati. The food selections were excellent, portion sizes were great, and the timing of each tasting was well-positioned through the tour. What a fun introduction to Cincy! We would definitely recommend!!

We started off in Washington Park and samples two foods there from two different local restaurants as well as a tasty and interesting tropical drink under the shelter area that also has a bar attached . During this time our tour guide, Jackie, explained how people from Germany and nearby settled in this area and their traditions and culture were quickly incorporated into the Over The Rhine area and I found it very interesting learning about some of the reasoning for the various inclines and party houses and beer halls at the top of the inclines . As we walked deeper into the area where the bars and restaurants we learned of why the buildings were built the way they were and of all of the unique architecture . We ended up tasting six different local establishments with the last two timed very well as they were both a dessert tasting and I ended up getting several "TO GO" desserts from ALADDIN'S and my wife and I enjoyed them after dinner and again at breakfast,....lol.

Thank you for sharing on the Ethnic Eats in Over the Rhine Tour. OTR has the most intact Italianate structures in the whole country and we're very proud to show it off to our guests. Thank you for supporting the local restaurants such as Aladdin's Eatery too. They have the best variety of desserts!
