We were very impressed with Jackie, our tour guide for the ethnic food tour. We go to OTR all the time and I had no idea the history of that area. She was so knowledgeable not only about Cincinnati, but about he whole restaurant scene of Cincinnati proper, northern Kentucky and surrounding areas. As a foodie, she answered many questions I had. The tour was done with respect to Covid-19 and there was only 6 people in our party (we were 4 of them). We ate outside and when we had to sit inside, we were the only folks allowed in the restaurant. We had A LOT of food on this tour. We ended up taking a whole cheesesteak home because we were so full. We will definitely book another tour with Riverside Food Tours, the next one in KY to get the history of Covington and Mainstrasse.

Jackie was an awesome guide full of information about OTR. Although it was 95 degrees we made the best of it. The food was excellent!
