Quick Details
See it all on the Cincinnati Streetcar Food & Culture Tour!
Tour Overview
Cincinnati is home to a thriving culinary scene but, for visitors, it can be hard to choose where to dine. Take the guesswork out of your visit by joining this streetcar tour that takes you to a variety of different restaurants and Findlay Market across multiple neighborhoods to sample their best dishes.
Is This Tour Right For Me?
I’m visiting Cincinnati for the first time. Maximize your time on a well planned and comprehensive tour of downtown. Learn the history, see beautiful architecture, story high murals and best of all, enjoy dining in the best local restaurants.
I’m curious what foods are served. Our restaurants vary from day to day. Typically, we visit a Scottish Pub known for the best ‘bangers and mash’ in town. Satisfy your appetite with a gourmet burger or savor an authentic Mexican street taco with chips and guacamole. Other days we serve a gourmet salad, or a Cincinnati chili cheese coney, or dine at a new distillery featuring mouthwatering pretzels and cheese dip. At Findlay Market, we visit vibrant stalls, owned by local entrepreneurs featuring award-winning chocolate, exclusive cheese and fudge, authentic Belgian waffles, gelato or the best banana pudding in town.
I like the option of ordering a glass of wine or a craft beer along the way. Alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages are available to purchase at the first three restaurants. Ice water is always served to quench your thirst.
I’ve lived in Cincinnati my whole life, but rarely visit downtown. Local residents are amazed at the knowledge and history shared on a food tour. A food tour is the perfect way to dine at a variety of restaurants, that you may have never visited. Entertaining out of town guests or celebrating a special occasion? A food and culture tour is even more fun with family and friends!
I like dining at privately owned restaurants to get a flavor of the local cuisine. On this tour, we dine at three sit-down restaurants enjoying savory hearty dishes. More than a tasting, we are enjoying a progressive meal. We promise you won’t leave hungry.
I enjoy the luxury of being shown around a new city and knowing I’m safe. Rest assured. You’re in good hands. Our tour guides are local, friendly, mature and professional! As the tour comes to a close, you can choose to shop at the Market, continue your adventure on the streetcar or your guide will be happy to escort you back to the original starting point.
I like to see as much as possible. On this tour, we begin near the Banks of the Ohio River and travel by streetcar through the heart of the city north, through Over the Rhine, the historic German neighborhood. Our tour includes a visit to Findlay Market with three more lighter tastings.
