My husband booked this as a fun activity for us to do for my birthday (late 50's) with our 2 kids that are in the mid-late 20's. We have lived in the northern suburbs of Cincinnati for our entire lives and always enjoy going into the city for the great restaurants and events held there all year long. We always love hearing more about our great city and the rich history that goes with it and really looked forward to getting to know more about the OTR area. Juliann was our tour guide and did a great job sharing all of her knowledge about this particular area and the city beyond. She even took pictures of us along the way! We were able to go to Sundry & Vice, Ghost Baby, Japp's and Homemaker's Bar. It was so nice to be able to walk into these bars and they were ready for us with seating and one of their feature craft cocktails. Each stop had a unique cocktail, and we were able to order anything off the menu if we wanted something different (or a 2nd one lol!). We had been to GB before but to be able to get in on a Saturday night was a special treat since you have to make reservations months and months in advance and it is such a wonderful experience - we highly recommend it! We had not been to Japp's since the 90's so it was good to be there again with a new perspective. S&V has a great vibe to it as does the woman-owned Homemaker's bar where we were able to be in the Fifty Fifty Gin Club which was a special treat! Juliann knew no one in our group of 7 had to be anywhere after the tour, so she really let us take our time and enjoy and take in the special vibe each stop had (could have stayed in Ghost Baby all night!). We would not hesitate to recommend the OTR Cocktail tour with Juliann and will probably book another in the future - the Mainstrasse one sounds interesting!

Went for a tour with some family and had a great time! Even with Cincinnati being my home, it was a fun enjoyable evening getting to learn some history of the area and go to a few restaurants we hadn't been to yet. Highly recommended!

I thoroughly enjoyed my fabulous tour with Laura. The area is beautiful, the food was delicious, and Laura is very knowledgeable about the area’s history and rebirth. I highly recommend this tour. The made-to-order ice cream (pictured) was the perfect end to a great evening.

I went on the over the Rhine food and wine tour as a solo visitor while in town to scout out Cincinnati prior to our family's relocation. Even as a solo traveler, I had a great time. Laura gave a great tour and I now feel comfortable navigating the over the Rhine area and plan to take my family to many spots she showed us. She provided a lot of interesting history about the area. The food was very good too! I plan to do other tours once I finally move to the city.

I invited a group of colleagues on the OTR Food & Wine tour as a fun, team-building exercise. Laura was a great host - personable and knowledgeable. We ate a lot of great food, tasted some fantastic local wine, and learned a lot about the history of OTR. This tour would be a great fit for anyone (of legal drinking age...) who is looking to see, taste and learn about all that Over the Rhine has to offer.

My kids bought this tour for my husband and I for Christmas, we scheduled the date for Feb. 13th and it just happened to be just us two and our guide (Laura the owner). It was full of wonderful Cincinnati history as well as history of the restaurants. Great food selections were eaten and we loved the tour of the basement winery. It was a great pace for the evening. It was a little chilly that evening however the walking was never too far between locations.

Jackie, our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history and cultural background of the OTR area. Although we have lived in Cincinnati for many years, we did not know many of the exciting places that Jackie introduced us to. The tour was very personable and we enjoyed it very much. We will definitely now visit this area more often and also bring our friends and relatives to experience this journey. This was a wonderful experience for us and we recommend it to others with enthusiasm!

This is the third tour I have booked with Riverside Food Tours. Laura is very knowledgeable about the area and the establishments we visited. Fun to learn about the owners of the establishments and history of the building they are in. It is not just about the food. It is a great all around experience.

Great food, historical knowledge. We loved walking the neighborhood, seeing all the buildings, hearing about famous people and just becoming familiar with such a vibrant area. Would recommend to visitors and Cincinnatians too. Our guide was funny, knowledgeable, encouraged question and very conscious of our needs.

We did a group tour with Laura, Jackie & Mike and it was amazing! They shared all kinds of fun facts/history about OTR that I didn't even know as a native. It was also a great tour for the group we were with (newcomers to Cincinnati). The food was great, restaurant selections were great and overall we had a wonderful time!

Laura and her team were so professional and ran this tour so smoothly. As the leader of this corporate group, it made my job so seamless and allowed me to relax throughout the tour. Laura was so responsive in the days leading up as we were anticipating bad weather and had to alter our plans. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone...fabulous food, fabulous service both from the restaurants and the tour group.
