A wonderful blend in the OTR area of yummy ethnic food, insight into the area's history and architecture, and even some of the art murals. Even for a long-time resident, it was a fun afternoon. I loved the unhurried pace and the small group size (different than other tours and really good because restaurants in OTR can be tiny!). And yes, we were full by the end of the afternoon... no need for dinner!

This tour was so much fun. My husband and I got to try out some restaurants that we would have never thought of trying. Whitney did a great job entertaining and educating us. Definitely would recommend a tour with her.

Thanks Pam for sharing on the Ethnic Eats in Over the Rhine Food and Culture Tour. Whitney is a foodie too and she does a wonderful job of showing off the unique restaurants in OTR. I hope you can join us again sometime for one of our other tours. Each one is different!

We had a lot of fun "hanging out"with Whitney on the Ethnic Eats tour. The historic information she gave us was really interesting. She was personable, upbeat and interesting. Each of the restaurants we ate at were excellent, and we probably wouldn't have gone to them on our own. Whitney took photos for us to have and gave us a printout with the list of restaurants we went to and nearby shops. We're looking forward to going back to OTR!
