We (my husband and me) were fortunate to have a private tour led by Jackie. Jackie was delightful, and extremely knowledgeable. While we enjoyed delicious food - and lots of it, she told us really interesting stories of the OTR history. What a great day!

Travel the world without leaving Cincinnati! If you’re looking for fun things to do in Cincinnati, this guided culinary tour will introduce you to some of the best ethnic food in town.  We may begin with Hawaiian-inspired steamed bun filled with a delicious BBQ, a glass of bubble tea, a Mexican street taco. Other unique tastings may include an Argentinean empanada, or a slice of NY style pizza. We may feature French macarons or a piece of Lebanese baklava. Or visit to a modern day beer garden for a sample of German delights! The Ethnic Eats Tour begins in beautiful Washington Park, where the heart of Over the Rhine congregates. We'll enjoy dishes at 5 unique locally owned restaurants.  (Please note: Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate nut, food allergies, low carb, diabetes, gluten free, vegan or lactose free restrictions).
