Explore Cincinnati’s hidden brewery tunnels, OTR landmarks, Findlay Market, and a Northern Row beer tasting on this two-hour tour.

“There is only one beer not a beer tasting. Most of the tour is a walk through the city. You stop at other breweries but do not go in. At the end of the tour you get a single beer from Northern row. Our tour guide Baconator was spectacular! The value however was not great. A bit overpriced for what we got.”

The second we met Leo and sat in the pedicab, immediately we both said, "Oh man. i am so glad we are doing this." It wasnt just going to 3 different breweries (all were amazing btw).. it was seeing parts of Austin you would not have seen on your own or on other bus/walking tours. Thank you Leo.. so informative, so entertaining, so friendly, and so much fun! (BBQ place was ahhhhmazing, so amazing we passed out at Butler Park for 2 hrs!)”
