Tour Overview:

Is This the Right Tour for Me?
I’m visiting Cincinnati and I want to see as much as possible in a short amount of time. The Cincy Top 10 Tour is perfect for you! We get off to an early start so you have the rest of the day to explore on your own. We tour downtown Cincinnati from the Banks of the Ohio River to Findlay Market.
I want to try the local foods that Cincinnati is known for. Cincinnati is a foodie city and we make sure you try five local favorites! We enjoy a full size Belgium waffle, sample German goetta, enjoy a Skyline Cincinnati-style chili cheese coney, a scoop of Graeter’s black raspberry chocolate chip ice cream and a sweet treat at Findlay Market. (Findlay Market is closed on Mondays. An alternate food stop is provided).
I enjoy walking, as long as it’s not too strenuous. On this guided city tour, you walk the streets of the city and ride the free streetcar. We stop along the way to sit down and enjoy five local favorite foods. It is a well balanced and entertaining tour. The tour includes 2 miles of walking spread out over three hours.
I’m looking for a tour that the whole family can enjoy. The Cincy Top 10 Tour is the best city tour for kids of all ages. It is fast paced and entertaining. Our talented guides engage everyone on the tour, especially children. Children five years and younger are free, but do not receive any food. Parents my share or bring snacks. The streetcar is stroller friendly. Children age six and older require a ticket.
Besides the food, I love to learn about Cincinnati’s sports, history, art and architecture. On this tour, we do it all! Your guide will share the history of the top ten landmarks in downtown Cincinnati, such as the ball park, the Ohio river, beautiful architecture, city parks, fountains, museums and outdoor murals.
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.
