Adrienne made our food tour a wonderful experience from start to finish. She was incredibly welcoming, engaging, and a fantastic storyteller. Her knowledge of Cincinnati's rich history, current economic development, and growth projects added so much depth to the tour. I especially appreciated the diverse selection of restaurants and the opportunity to experience the downtown transportation system. Most importantly, Adrienne created an environment where everyone felt comfortable connecting and enjoying the experience together. Highly recommend!
Thank you for the wonderful review! A Riverside Food Tour is more than just food. It's experiencing the culture of the city through the history, stories and the food. Thank you for the high recommendation!
We had an incredible experience with Laura from Riverside Food Tours! We chose this tour because we wanted local insight into Cincinnati and a way to sample the best of the city without spending days researching, and it exceeded our expectations. Laura was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating stories about the area's history and culture. Over the course of three hours, we visited several restaurants, and every food stop was delicious. It was the perfect way to save time while still getting a true taste of the city. Highly recommend Laura if you want an authentic, expertly guided experience!"

This was a wonderful food tour of special Cincinnati food plus historical information included with our city tour of OTR (Over the Rhine area) and Findlay Market with small streetcar ride. Laura our guide was wonderful…kind, friendly, knowledgeable, and took great care to make sure everyone had a great time. We had plenty of delicious food from Stuffed French toast with Strawberries, blueberries/cream, Detroit style pizza from Taglio, Che restaurant yummy braised short rib empanada, German Goetta sandwich from Eckerlin (one of the longest owned restaurants in the Market), which I have never had before but was awesome, tasting of cheese and fidget and a dessert bar from Cherbourg bakery to end fun food tour. All the food was special and I would highly recommend this brunch tour.
Thank you Carol for the lovely review. The details you provided will help other guests to decide which Riverside Food Tour to take. Reviews like yours are very helpful. Thank you for the high recommendation.
I took this tour a year ago, and loved it. I planned for my wife and I to take the tour yesterday, but at the last minute realized that I had erroneously booked it for the wrong day. Laura, the owner helped me work through the process of a refund from TripAdvisor, and alternative plans for the afternoon. Four or five emails to help me out, though there was no profit in it for her.
Thanks, Curtis, for the shout out. I was happy to help. I enjoyed our conversations. I look forward to seeing you again the next time you are in Cincinnati.
Great food and history of the area in Cincinnati This tour makes you want to book another and learn more!
Thanks Sharon. We love repeat customers. Many of our guests have taken 7 or 8 Riverside Food Tours. I hope to see you again!
