What To Expect

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Fun way to experience the tour- we could spend more or less time wherever we wanted to. Clear and understandable (coming from folks who can get turned around easily). Would do again in other cities.

My grandson and I did this tour. We learned a lot about Cincinnati and saw a lot of the city! It was not too much walking for me!

First time doing a smartphone-guided walking tour so it took some time to become familiar with how it worked Once we overcame the lack of familiarity, itworked great. The tour organized our walking and made the experience enjoyable. The tidbits on the sights added interesting background/history. The length of the tour and number of sights was about right for us. There were only a few sights that we had trouble finding - it would have helped to know that the first sight was inside a building. The location at the ballpark was also hard to find. Overall, we enjoyed the tour and would likely do it again in another city/location if available.
