We enjoyed the tour; we would prefer an open top bus tour, but it's October in Cincinnati, so this is about the only choice.
It is a GPS guided tour with info on screens within the bus. Driver chimes in a bit during the tour, but info is mostly from the screens.
There is a stop in the middle at the train station for 20 minutes. Interesting inside, but nothing that can be accomplished in 20 minutes, so not worth much other than use of the restroom. This could be cut down to 10-15 mins. Other than the restroom, and a quick glance, it is a waste of time.
Seats are assigned, and driver was very helpful when we arrived regarding logistics and time tables, so nothing felt rushed at pick-up or delivery. He seemed happy to be doing tours, and proud of Cincinnati, so that is always a plus.
This is the only actual city-type tour we found, so nothing to compare it to, and we have never been to Cincinnati, so our knowledge was zero, which makes it hard to judge the knowledge gained, but we enjoyed this tour and feel it was time and money well spent. We are glad we did it - a job well done.

Thank you for the detailed review, it is very insightful. Our goal was to not only tell you the history, but also show you through a collection of often, never seen pictures of each of the points of interests that we stop at. We felt it was more powerful than trying to visualize through a tour guide talking for two hours.
The hop off at Union terminal not only serves as a much needed bio break after 45 minutes, but to let you see the grandeur of this amazing landmark. An opportunity you may have missed if visiting Cincinnati. Many folks go straight back that after the tour to visit the museums.
Our goal is to not only introduce you of some of the most notable places in the Queen City, but also help you to plan other things to do or see in Cincy while you are here.
As you mentioned, we are the only mobile tour in Cincinnati and because of that we strive to give the best and most well rounded experience. I hope you now know more about our city than when you arrived. We very much appreciated the opportunity to host your experience. Thanks again!!
