A feast for mind and body! - My wife and I had a GREAT time on our Food Tour in Covington, Kentucky. Laura did an excellent job of not only selecting great places to try some great food, but also sharing her knowledge of Covington and the surrounding area. We thoroughly enjoyed our day and would highly recommend it to others! Pizza, pulled pork, mac & cheese, ice cream....what's not to love??!!

Roebling Bridge tour - Fun time with our tour guide Jackie today. Super friendly and knowledgeable about the area. My favorites were the smoked wings from Smoke Justis (I'm not really a wing eater) and the caramel apple bread pudding from Blinkers. This was our second tour with Riverside Food Tours, and I would highly recommend the experience.

Fun & Filling Food Experience - Wow! What a fun, enjoyable & filling experience. This was a surprise birthday present for my sister. She works for a caterer, so I knew "food" was her thing. Our guide, Jackie, did such a nice job of combining history of Covington, along with selecting 5 wonderful restaurants. They were all close together and didn't require a lot of walking. The restaurants were all small locally owned. All of the food selections were outstanding, It was hard to pick my favorite. We would do it again !!

Great Tour and Tasting - My husband and I took the Food and History Tour of the Roebling Bridge area. We tasted food at 5 different restaurants within a few blocks of the Bridge. It was a nice assortment of dishes with each restaurant providing us with a specialty of theirs. Becky, our guide, was very knowledgable about the local history and had some fun facts to throw in as well. The Roebling Bridge and Licking River Historic District are unique to the area and well worth the visit. There wasn't too much walking, so good for people who can't walk very far, but want to taste the food and enjoy the architecture and history.

Great history and very delicious food - Thirteen people from our marketing team took the food tour and everyone loved it. The food was delicious and all the owners were very friendly. Lived in Cincinnati all my life, and had visited Mainstrasse many times but didn't know the interesting history and this area has expanded a lot recently! We will be back soon.

Best way to spend the afternoon in Covington!! - I was in Cincy visiting my daughter and wanted to get a feel for the city and enjoy some good eats. We booked this tour because it sounded fun and had great reviews. Laura welcomed us warmly at our first location and set the pace for the rest of the tour, along with the other guests. All of our restaurant stops offered yummy tastings that left me wanting to return and check out the full menu! The pace of the tour was just right - allowing us to chat and take pics, or ask questions. Laura really knows the area well and we learned a lot of interesting information about the history, architecture, and culture of the area. I honestly want to take her other tours because I'm sure they would be fantastic! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone - either a local who just wants to learn more about the area, or if you are a newcomer. Laura is a great Ambassador!
