Good Route & Histories - I was glad the tour included Newport as well as downtown Cincinnati.
I enjoyed the in-bus videos with many historic photos. Best of all, they made their 20-minute stop at the fabulous old Cincinnati Union Terminal, my favorite Art Deco building anywhere.

A wonderful way to get to know this city and its history - We had 23 people in Cincinnati for a family meeting or reunion. They were from all over the USA, California, Florida, New York City and even England and Portugal. What do we do on a Saturday Morning. We too the History Bus Tour at 10 AM. Our driver , Antony arrived at our Hotel, The Lytle Park Hotel early and was ready to go on time.
Our programmed tour was a little screwed up as we were it staring at the beginning but Anthony handled it in style. He is somewhat local and this was very good as he has memories that go back a long time and it added spice to the stories. I had many of our guests remark on how much they enjoyed the tour which we found complete and interesting. Highly recommended.

History was interesting - This was an extremely interesting tour. The amount of history presented was not overwhelming but there was a lot talked about. The video screens were nice. They provided information as we were driving from place. The history presented was information you would not get on just a regular tour. The bus was comfortable.

Informative History of Cincinnati Area - The overall history of the 3 towns - so much history makes us want to explore the sights individually …
Plan on visiting the History Museum at Union Terminal The curator we spoke with was very informative
Our driver knew some highlights which he shared which was also nice
Open air 2 story trolly in good weather would be a plus! To be able to see buildings fully from top

We seemed to go around same area several times seeing same locations at least 3 times on some of it. Not sure why. - It was not terrible but think we did not see everything we were promised as we went over same area it seemed. I remember seeing one area 3 times.
