What To Expect
1
Roebling Suspension Bridge
Our tour starts at the iconic first bridge across the Ohio River. This bridge speaks to Cincinnati's rich history, global influence (it should look familiar to a bridge in NYC) and rich artistic heritage.
2
Smale Riverfront Park
Cincinnati isn't known as one of the greenest cities in the US for nothing! Explore this phenomenal park that also fights flooding, from carousels to labyrinths to memorials.
3
Great American Ball Park
Baseball is a competitive sport, the debate over its origins more so. However, Cincinnati absolutely claims the first professional team in the world, and today the Reds play right here.
4
National Underground Railroad Freedom Center
People often wonder why this 'national' museum is in Cincinnati - what they don't know is that the Ohio River was the final barrier to freedom seekers and Cincinnati a hot spot for abolitionists and a key stop on the Underground Railroad.
5
The Mercantile Library
We love a good secret library. Eleven stories above you exists a member's library with nearly 20,000 books and a unique founding. You can even go visit, just take the elevator up!
6
Contemporary Arts Center
When do world famous architects and nationally reported lawsuits come together? At the non-collecting Contemporary Arts Center, which with free admission has been a site for Cincinnatians for decades.
7
Fountain Square
The heart of Cincinnati has always been under the the open arms of the Genius of Water fountain, here the city comes together for the largest Oktoberfest outside of Germany and salsa dancing on Thursday nights.

It was interesting. I wish it would have said you can move ahead without getting the trivia type question correct. I eventually figured it out. We enjoyed the tour. The good thing is - everytime we stopped to figure something out, some one would stop and ask, “can I help you find something?”. What a friendly town. Even the officer in Fountain Square asked us and asked if he could share some information about the area. Shared WKRP in Cincinnati tidbits that would have been great to have on the tour info too. I think there may be free downtown audio tours - not sure.

Bad technology made trip impossible. The program nver knew where we were. We had to ask other tourists and vendors. We gave up on this after two stops. It spoiled a nice day.
