Phenomenal Tour and Tour Guide - Harrison was an amazing tour guide. My boyfriend had never been to Cincinnati before, and I thought this would be a great way to introduce him to some of the city's history. He loved the tour! Whether you're a local or visiting the city for the first time, I recommend this tour to anyone

Great local activity - My wife and I are long time Cincinnati residents, but were looking for an activity and are glad we went. We learned a lot and had a great time. The tour has some Cincinnati history, especially brewing. It includes a walk through the Over the Rhine neighborhood, a visit to the crypt below St Francis Church, and an extensive tour of a system of pre-prohibition underground beer tunnels. Our tour guide, Renee, was great and everyone had a great time. I'd recommend it to visitors or locals -- you really have no idea what's underneath the buildings you pass by, and it's a great way to learn about Cincinnati.

Daytonians get away to Cincinnati - We are a couple from Dayton, Ohio and decided to spend a day exploring Cincinnati. One of the highlights of our visit was the underground tour, and it far exceeded our expectations. The tour was informative, well-organized, and genuinely fascinating. Learning about Cincinnati’s underground spaces and the history hidden beneath the city gave us a completely new perspective on an area we thought we already knew. Harrison was knowledgeable, engaging, and did a great job balancing historical detail with storytelling, which kept the experience interesting from start to finish. The pace of the tour was comfortable, the explanations were easy to follow, and it felt like a unique experience you simply wouldn’t get on your own. It was both educational and fun, and it added real depth to our day trip.
