Over & Under the Rhine Tour

Overview

Over-the-Rhine is a historic neighborhood comprised of amazing structures both above and below the ground. Come and explore with us as we walk (approx. one mile total) and ride the streetcar to major topside landmarks such as Findlay Market, Music Hall, Washington Park, and the location of the Miam-Erie Canal. We'll also learn about it's underground history as we stop by several places from above, including the pre-Prohibition lagering facility of the Lafayette Brewery and Cincinnati's abandoned subway system below Central Parkway. Then we'll go three stories underground, where the Gerke Brewery fermented and cold-stored their beer dating back to the 1850s. This requires guests to traverse a series of steep stairs and is not recommended for young children or those who have difficulty with stairs, but anyone in attendance is welcome to remain topside. Our journey concludes at a local taproom, where we'll have a round of pints, just a few blocks away from our starting point.

Going into the cellar was fascinating. Enjoyed learning about the “beer history” of Cincinnati. Recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes.

Adam was our tour guide. He gave great details about the history of the Over the Rhine district. If you have difficulty with stairs this is NOT the tour for you. The best part was descending into a large, cave/tunnel that was used for storage of beer and other items. The tour ended with a stop at Sam Adams where we were given a free beer. Adam was knowledgeable and a lot of fun! I highly recommend this tour.

We did this tour for a team event with numerous individuals coming from out of town. Our tour guide, Adam, did a really nice job of giving everyone a flavor of Cincinnati's unique history. I've lived in Cincy for multiple years and even taken a separate tour -- and still learned quite a bit. Visiting the underground brewing caverns, Findley Market, Washington Park, and Cincinnati Music Hall and learning a bit about them was quite interesting. Nice blend of walking and tram. My team was MUCH MORE EXCITED about this than your typical Reds game and really enjoyed it.
