Our large group of 8 joined Jackie on her "Bites and Sites" Tour of Cincinnati, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Even though several of our group were born and raised in Cincinnati, we learned so many fascinating historical tidbits about our birth city that we hadn't known before! Jackie is a wonderful guide--she is passionate about her subject and shares her joy about her hometown with enthusiasm and charm. We especially liked that she shared a little bit about herself and her family and her relationship to Cincinnati to begin the tour--it really set up a nice context in which we could hear about Cincinnati's interesting trajectory through the decades. Jackie is the perfect blend of articulate storyteller, and gifted "group-wrangler". She catered to all ages in our tour group of 15, and even held our 3 year old niece's hand walking through several neighborhoods. She is VERY good at her job, and if you are lucky, she will be the engaging host on your next Riverside Food Tour. We plan to try some of the other tour offerings on our next visit.

Thanks Laurie for the great review and for sharing about Riverside Food Tours on social media. It looked you had a great big fun group! We specifically designed this tour for first time visitors to Cincinnati! As guests are anxious to travel again, we are experiencing big groups on all our tours. I'm so happy you enjoyed the tour with Jackie and we look forward to seeing you again on one of our other tours. Happy Travels!

Exactly what I expected - an overview of the city, it’s history and uniquely Cincinnati foods such as street waffles and raspberry chocolate chip ice cream.

This is the tour to do if it’s your first time in the Queen City, and/or if you want to pack a lot into a small investment of time. It’s a little history combined with fun food (some of which you’ll never get anywhere else!) and a fair amount of walking. If you didn’t love Cincinnati before, you will after this tour. Good for families and solo travelers who want to get their steps in for the day!

Thanks Marion for the detailed review. We designed this tour for the first time visitor to Cincinnati and I'm glad it made a great impression! I agree that it's great for families and solo travelers. Even Cincinnati locals who live in the suburbs enjoy learning some new facts.
