A couple of our bites were really good and gave us ideas to incorporate in our own kitchens. However the environment was really loud except for where we had an inside more private area which was the case in only the meat store and the tea shop.

Linnea was great. Very kind and knowledgeable, I'm from Cincinnati and learned a lot. We visited 5 vendors and had a great time

It was so interesting to hear all of the history behind the market! I especially loved when our tour guide Anne showed us the tile art work in the center and explained the idea behind it! All of the food was so yummy and it was very cool hearing from each business about what they offer, their story, and the inspiration behind all of the food we tried! Would definitely go again!

Our family had an outstanding time on the Findlay Market tour with Barb, from Cincinnati Food Tours. We visited 5 stops, and enjoyed the variety of flavors from Cincinnati goetta (Eckerlin Meats) to Jamaican oxtail curry (Taste of the Isles). We loved Dean's Mediterranean, Babuska Pierogies, and Makers Bakers banana pudding too! This tour is about more than just the great food, though. Barb does a great job introducing you to each restauranteur and sharing their story. We cannot wait to do another food tour with Barb and the Cincinnati Food Tours crew!

Barbara was wonderful and she did a great job bringing the culture, the history, the people, and the merchants together!! It’s a must do!!!

Barb was engaging, knowledgeable, and made an effort to learn something about everyone! The tour stops were varied and all delicious. Barb told us that her goal is to connect people with the people who make the food and that was definitely successful! We also learned a lot of great history about the area.

Barb was so kind and knew her stuff! The market was great!! The food was amazing, especially the bagels and cream cheese! Loved the tour, but the area walking back to our car was sketchy and we got harassed a bit.

We thoroughly enjoyed this Walnut Hills food tour. Barb was very knowledgeable about the area and was very interesting to talk to. The food and beer was very tasty. We were introduced to the staff and or manager to every restaurant that we went to. They did a great job of talking about the history of the restaurant. We definitely got enough food to eat. It was a great variety. This unique experience gave us a new appreciation for the beautiful city of Cincinnati. Thumbs up 👍🏼 to this food tour.

Amy was amazing, fun, and knowledgeable!! I have done this tour several times through the years, it never disappoints and I learn about new places every time. I would recommend to anyone who lives in the city or visiting. It's such a great way to hear about our city and try to restaurants!!

I liked the bagel and cheesecake place. Could have skipped the tea place. I like tea but would have liked a different food instead.
