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.

This tour was a super nice way to get a sense of the city on our first trip to Cincinnati. The stops had a lot of information we never would have known and the maps were really helpful for navigation. My wife loved that we could go at our own pace and not hold a group up. Highly recommended!

I took my kids and they enjoyed answering the trivia questions. The website worked great on my phone. I would recommend to anybody who wants a tour of Cincinnati.

The tour was too hard to navigate. I had to enter my code every time I got out of the browser. Also, it would be helpful if the directions said north or south, east or west because we kept turning the wrong way.

Thank you for your feedback. We value the thoughts as we are constantly working to improve our tour experience. We’re sorry that you had challenges navigating our tour in Cincinnati. We like your suggestion of adding cardinal directions to our landmark based navigation, and we are also looking at making both our Google Maps button and our “Need Help?” button more prominent. You were actually the first person to use our new direct access system from Trip Advisor, and our head of technology has already identified the glitch that caused you to not be immediately taken back to the tour after closing your browser. We’re going to reach out to ask for additional technical information; thanks again for the feedback, stay safe, and wander on!
