Our guide Laura was super knowledgeable and patient with us. Even came into the brewery at the end and had a beer with us continuing to share her knowledge of the history of Cincinnati. Definitely would recommend.

Sara_B

Lisa was a great guide who is clearly passionate about Cincinnati and its history. Even my fiance who is a brewer learned a lot about the city and its beer history.

5/5 The tour was great, with a WONDERFUL guide who had a thorough knowledge of the area, past and present. The tour of OTR transports you to another time with beautiful architecture, tour of the lager tunnel, and how a community and beer left an imprint on the city . After tour, explored the area and even took advantage of the free trolley service around the city!

Lisa gave us an amazing tour on October 14th! She is an excellent storyteller. We learned so many interesting facts about Cincinnati's brewing history. Definitely worth going. I highly recommend.

Our tour guide Lisa was awesome! A true local and had a lot of information to share. We had a small group so it was easy to hear her talk and ask questions. The walk was short and never felt rushed. Definitely doable for those more physically challenged. We'll be doing more in the future.

Aaron took my wife and some friends on a wonderful tour. He was extremely articulate, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. Aaron has a great sense of history and had great stories. We all enjoyed the tour even the non-beer drinkers and can’t wait to take another Brewing Heritage Trail tour.

This was a very interesting tour! Our guide, Lisa, went above and beyond to share local history and answer questions. It was worth the money.

GREAT tour!! The layering cellar underground was incredible! The tour guide was very knowledgeable & entertaining! He did a great job answering questions.

Tour guide continually went off script with personal stories ranging from genealogy to “today’s sociology lesson” about financial services companies. Maybe 10 minutes of architecture at most. He seemed to be making it up as he went. Cool to see the breweries but would have been far better on our own. Even said “surprised I haven’t had any questions” when he didn’t even pause. And when he did get a question, was clearly afraid to say he didn’t know the answer. Thought for a minute and made something up. Very disappointing.
