The Best Tours Cincy Has to Offer
Whether you are a native or a tourist, you may not have seen everything that Cincinnati has to offer. What better way to really see the nuts and bolts of The Queen City than with a tour? This is just a brief list of some of the best Cincinnati, OH tours around:
1. Arnold’s Brothel’s, Bootleggers and Booze Tour
In order to truly appreciate a city, sometimes it is best to see its worst, as well as its best. The tour starts out at Arnold’s, which is Cincinnati’s oldest continuously operating saloon, originally built in 1838 as a brothel. The tour is very in-depth and leaves out none of the juicy details before moving on to a walking route that explores a time where Cincinnati and its breweries, distilleries and almost 2,000 saloons made it notorious. The tour has twists and turns and ends up turning 90 minutes of your Saturday afternoon into a fun and enlightening trip down a very tipsy memory lane. Additionally, a portion of all proceeds goes to support the non-profit Brewery District Community Urban Redevelopment Corporation and the preservation of Cincinnati’s brewing history. Just in case you decide to sample some of the stuff on the way, maybe renting a car and driver for the day might be a good plan too. They are located at 210 East 8th St in Downtown Cincinnati, OH at Arnold’s Bar & Grill.
2. American Legacy Tours
