Ask for Harrison!

5.00We took the Ultimate Queen CIty Underground tour last Monday while visiting Cincinnati with our friends from Arizona. As avid travelers we are also tour junkies. That being said Harrison (with the good hair!) was 10 out of 10 the best. Truly hands down the best tour we have done. SO much fun. Harrison had the perfect blend of history, humor and story telling that made the time fly and the experience fun for all. My only regret is that the kids and grandkids were not on this trip because I think they would have loved it as well. This is a tour for everyone. We loved learning about the city and enjoyed Cincinnati much more than we anticipated and can't wait to come back and do another tour...hopefully with Harrison! We are proud supporters of public education and hopefully did our part to show that while visiting! If you know...you know! Run don't walk to this tour. You won't be dissappointed!
Great Tour for Local History

5.00Our tour consisted of the guide and 12 other tourists. We saw examples of Cincinnati architectural heritage, learned about famous and infamous characters in the city's history, the haunted places around downtown, and went underground to see the brewery cellars. The pace is casual, and the tour takes about 2 hours. Our guide was engaging and well-informed about the city's history, including the surrounding areas.
History Lesson.

5.00I enjoyed the history of Cincy. Although from here, I have been away for many years. It was good to refresh my hometown’s history. Meredith was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed her tour.

5.00Interesting historical facts about Cincinnati, mixed with humor. My husband’s brother & his wife have lived here ten years and they learned quite a lot— and that was before we went underground! Getting to the crypt below the Catholic Church was not challenging, but be advised that the second below ground descent wasn’t easy on our arthritic knees; we’re in our mid-70s. We managed & the history of the beer industry was fascinating. (I really think a cold glass of lager waiting at the end of the 30-ft ascent would be a nice touch! 😉) Our guide, Dean, was excellent; I’ve been on dozens of tours throughout the U.S. and Dean was by far the best at projecting his voice and enunciating.

5.00Meredith was an amazing tour guide! She shared the sites and stories of Cincinnati’s history, both above and below ground. Particularly those of the Over the Rhine area of the city. Well worth the time and money!

5.00The tour was so cool and fun. Our tour guide dean made it so much more enjoyable telling us all about the breweries and the church. I would definitely come again if he was our tour guide! If you book a tour, request him! Dean was awesome!
Interesting and enjoyable experience

5.00An interesting walk through the Over the Rhine neighborhood and an exploration of an underground lager fermentation complex from the late 19th century. Our host Meredith was very engaging and knowledgeable.
