Overall, the tour was very good and informative. The bus was comfortable. Reserving seats in advance was unique! Excellent driver. The only thing I would personally change is to drop us off at the Findlay market rather than the old train station for our 20 minute stop. But I would also eliminate the 10 or so minute Newport tour at the beginning and add the time to Findlay Market to give us 30 minutes there.

The tour was as advertised, it gave a fine overview of the city and different neighborhoods and events that have shapes Cincinnati, the only thing that I didn't any anything to the tour was the 20 minute stop half way thru the tour but I'm sure some people appreciated it.

This tour starts in Newport and then you go to Cincinnati. Most of the tour is video, the tour guide added a few bits of information. Honestly our friend who grew up in the area knew more than the tour guide. The only stop is Union Station Terminal(beautiful building) If you want to get a overall idea of what you would like to visit, this tour does take you around Cincinnati , then you could return to areas that you saw

Anthony was an excellent guide, injecting humor along with good information about Cincinnati. The tour was comprehensive as it began in Covington/Newport to show relationship between the 2 cities. I would recommend this tour to anyone. Also liked the video showing Cincinnati as it was years ago.

Anthony was wonderful and this tour is awesome. If you’re in the area, I suggest doing this with your family or friends. We learned so much about the Cincinnati, Newport, and Covington relationship and history.

purplehotgirl

Very informative and I liked all the little side-notes but we gave four verses five stars because it was mostly video…. a more personalized story would’ve been nice. Occasionally the driver would add a few tidbits and we enjoyed that…. I think more personalization should be added. All in all it was better than the walking tour we took the day after with a different company and I would most definitely recommend it. It’s a great way to see the city and learn some history!

This tour gave us great views and insight to Cincinnati. The van included several TV screens which showed us pictures of the inside of building that we were driving past. That was a neat perk that we hadn't anticipated or experienced before.

We had the pleasure of touring Cincinnati on Mother’s Day, 5/12. We were visiting the city for the first time from NC and in town for the Sesame Street Live show. I should have planned better…since I love history tours…but when tried to book, all tours were sold out. When I reached out to Cincy Tour Bus, they had one driver agree to take us on a Sunday (a non-tour day) & on a holiday (Mother’s Day!) Anthony, our driver, was AMAZING!!! In fact, we can’t say enough great things about Anthony…and I can’t imagine the tour being any better because it was perfect! Anthony is super informative and even peppers in personal stories and anecdotes that really put the tour over the top! He took his time, answered all of our questions, and showed us some really cool things that my children will remember for a lifetime. My own mother came on the trip & tour with us, and agreed it was the perfect Mother’s Day gift!!! If you have the pleasure of taking a Cincy Bus Tour you will not be disappointed…and if you’re lucky enough to get Anthony as a driver, you will certainly be blessed (because he is AWESOME!!!) Thank you Anthony & Cincy Bus Tours for a memorable tour of Cincinnati and an unforgettable Mother’s Day!

It was very nice driving around Newport, Covington & Newport with a stop at Union Station Terminal. The driver and tour guide were both very friendly and informative. I would highly recommend this tour if you’re visiting the city.
