We came to Cincinnati from California and had 7 girls in our family ranging in ages from 11-77 and it was a fantastic adventure for all. All the food selections were fantastic and Whitney was a great host. She was energetic and a real joy to spend the day with. Would absolutely take another tour with them.

Thanks Shelly for sharing on the Ethnic Eats in Over the Rhine Saturday afternoon tour. I'm so glad you all enjoyed it, especially the younger gals. The neighborhood is full of great restaurants and we love featuring the small locally owned places that serve special dishes.

I had a couple of friends coming from out of town who are foodies and thought we would give this tour a try. Everyone was so impressed! Jackie was a great tour guide who gave us interesting information but still gave us room to talk to each other. We had fun, learned a little, and ate a lot of yummy food. We ate Hawaiian, Indian, Japanese, Mexican, and Mediterranean food. I thought it was a little expensive but after doing the tour it was well worth the money. Highly recommend!

The ethnic food tour was fantastic! I am ready to go again! Our tour guide, Jackie was amazing. She is so knowledgeable not only about to food, the history of the restaurants we tried but also the rich history of the German contributions to the city. Jackie is so personable and fun! I love ethnic foods and this was the perfect tour with hearty servings. We had a rich variety of tantalizing food. We started with Hawaiian and worked our way through Indian, Mexican, and several Asian dishes ending with a delicious Mediterranean dessert with cocktails. The perfect date idea or outing with friends or family! Also a great idea if you have friends in town or new to the area. Though a native if Cincinnati, we learned so much about that city. Ask for Jackie, you will not be disappointed!
