We tried the Ethnic Eats food tour for my daughter’s 14th birthday and had an amazing time! Our tour guide, Jackie, was very knowledgeable and friendly and the places we visited offered a little something for everyone. The food was great and the history was fascinating too. We were even sent a series of pictures that captured highlights of our family enjoying the tour the very next morning. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone with an adventurous palate and our family can’t wait to try another of the tours offered by Riverside!

Had the most delightful afternoon touring the Over the Rhine area, learning the history and enjoying fabulous food along the way. Laura was an exceptional guide, very informative, thoughtful and receptive to all questions. We stopped for 6 amazing food experiences, and met some of the local owners and managers. Each place was unique and we learned so much about the rich history of the area and architecture. Truly a wonderful adventure and would encourage anyone to sign up for a great experience!!

Wow Michelle, thanks so much! We had a wonderful group Saturday plus spring-like temperatures that made for the perfect day! It's so fun to be able to explore the little parks and niches in OTR while enjoying the delicious dishes from the local restaurants. It was a pleasure meeting you and I hope you can return for one of our other tours.
