5 PM Over the Rhine Cocktail Tour

Cincinnati's food tour scene has a genuinely strong team behind it, with guides like Laura, Jackie, Beth, David, and Juliann consistently earning glowing praise from visitors and locals alike. What stands out most is how these guides weave together food, history, architecture, and local storytelling into something that feels far more personal than a typical tour. Longtime residents regularly mention being surprised by how much they learned about their own city, which says a lot. The tours cover distinct neighborhoods and themes, from Findlay Market and OTR to cocktail and bourbon experiences, giving groups plenty of options depending on their interests. Food quality and variety get high marks across the board, with tastings focused on independent, locally-owned spots rather than chains. For anyone visiting Cincinnati or even someone who's lived there for years, this is a genuinely fun way to spend an afternoon. The guides clearly care about the city and bring that enthusiasm into every stop along the way.
