Great Self Guided Tour - Lots of excellent info about the city and even some hidden gems. We plan on doing the tour of our own city as well!!

Great - My daughter and I really enjoyed this walking tour. It is very well explained and it is not too long, you can also rest a little in between some stops.

A great way to see Cincinnati! - On this tour you see and learn things you would otherwise pass by. Don’t forget to stop into Graeter’s at the end - yum! We also went to the observation deck of the Carew Tower, but it’s generally not open and will be closing permanently for the building’s renovation. We also stopped in at the Underground Railroad Museum and it was fantastic.

Great tour! - Loved this tour! Such a great way to see the city and learn about the history. Just the right amount of stops, took about 2 hours. Plenty of places to stop along the way and sit if you need to. Highly recommend!

Interesting and Not Too Long - I enjoyed the stops in the route that weren’t as well known. The only thing I would suggest is to automatically fill in the answers to the questions if the wrong answer is input multiple times, or maybe have an “I don’t know” option.

Decent value - Entertaining, a few hidden gems, but smaller in scope than expected. Missed key points. QA aspect was interesting, but isn’t always work.

Going at our own pace. - This was very informative and helpful. We enjoyed learning SO much about Cincinnati in such a short time. It was also nice to go at our own pace. My request would be that there would be a title of each location so we know what we are looking for and a small embedded map of the cross streets without opening another map link.

Better than nothing - There are no guided tours of Cincinatti so we did this one and it was ok. However, it cost much more than other self-guided tours and it didn't have audio. The information about the stops were pretty sparse, presumably because it would have taken too long to read.
We went inside the Dixie Terminal to take a look and the man at the desk gave us handouts about the history of the building and of the Roebling bridge, which were well worth getting and had way more detail than the tour.

Skip the Scavenger Hunt - We did not expect a scavenger hunt and spent more time searching for clues instead of enjoying the walk and stops. And a couple question could not be answered.
Also, the idea of a smartphone-led walk sounds good until you are paying more attention to your phone than you surroundings while walking down a busy sidewalk in a crowd.
