    Three hours of food sampling and history — ride the streetcar and visit three sit-down restaurants plus Findlay Market for local flavours.

    Our experience with Beth Palm was exceptional. As Cincinnati residents, we were amazed by the rich history and stories about our city. It made us proud to be from Cincy. The food was excellent, showcasing a wonderful variety, with each stop offering unique flavors and historical significance. I have participated in food tours around the world, and this one ranks among the best. Beth's wit and deep knowledge made her an engaging guide, and her passion for the city truly shone through. It's a fantastic tour for both locals and first-time visitors. Keep in mind that the tastings are modest; if you have a hearty appetite, consider ordering extra or eating a light snack afterward. You won't leave hungry, but you may not feel full either. Additionally, we enjoyed great cocktails at each stop. Be prepared for some light walking and dress for the weather. Enjoy the experience!Cortney B
