This was an extremely interesting tour. The amount of history presented was not overwhelming but there was a lot talked about. The video screens were nice. They provided information as we were driving from place. The history presented was information you would not get on just a regular tour. The bus was comfortable.

Anthony was fantastic!! He was so knowledgeable and funny. His story about his family meeting at the Union Station was so touching. Great time all around. Would definitely do it again.

It was not terrible but think we did not see everything we were promised as we went over same area it seemed. I remember seeing one area 3 times.

The overall history of the 3 towns - so much history makes us want to explore the sights individually … Plan on visiting the History Museum at Union Terminal The curator we spoke with was very informative Our driver knew some highlights which he shared which was also nice Open air 2 story trolly in good weather would be a plus! To be able to see buildings fully from top

This my husband and I 1st time in the area and this tour jumped started our weekend. Our guide Anthony was funny, informational and very excited about his city and his ties to it. It was very refreshing and I learned a lot, way more than I ever would have know. Highly Highly Recommended!!!

Our 1st time on a (Official City) tour an it was amazing. Our guide was Anthony. He made us feel comfortable, was very informative and SUPER FUNNY on the tour. I highly recommended, if you’re in the Cincinnati/Kentucky area. I wouldn’t go with any other place. My wife and I are definitely going back. You also have to listen to his recommendations on where to visit, he told us about a murder mystery dinner and (Not Cheap lol) but affordable date ideas that any other place would have been well over what we paid. Dude really knows his hometown has family ties to the city. (Spoiler Alert) Don’t go anywhere else. A ask 4 Anthony.. Thanks again my man.
