Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Roebling Suspension Bridge, Ohio River, Cincinnati, OH
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.
Duration: 5 minutes
Stop At: Smale Riverfront Park, West Mehring Way, Cincinnati, OH 45201
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.
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: Great American Ball Park, 100 Joe Nuxhall Way, Cincinnati, OH 45202-5108

Duration: 5 minutes
Stop At: National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, 50 E Freedom Way, Cincinnati, OH 45202-3413
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.

What do unused subway tunnels and the invention of modern soap have in common? The 1890s right here. With origins in the Industrial Revolution, this city's growth was founded on those two intertwined stories, which we'll tell you all about!
Duration: 5 minutes
Stop At: The Mercantile Library, 414 Walnut St, Cincinnati, OH 45202-3908

There are no guided tours of Cincinatti so we did this one and it was ok. However, it cost much more than other self-guided tours and it didn't have audio. The information about the stops were pretty sparse, presumably because it would have taken too long to read. We went inside the Dixie Terminal to take a look and the man at the desk gave us handouts about the history of the building and of the Roebling bridge, which were well worth getting and had way more detail than the tour.837TammyM

We also went to the observation deck of the Carew Tower, but itโs generally not open and will be closing permanently for the buildingโs renovation. We also stopped in at the Underground Railroad Museum and it was fantastic.Raider1978

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.bobbyc3730

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!

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.
