    Miranda was AMAZING!!! Very charismatic and kept our tour group entertained the whole time. She was also very informative and very considerate, especially when we moved to areas that are a bit difficult to move in. She did a great job explaining the best way to move. Overall very fun!!

    We went on the underground tour and we highly recommend going on this tour. Request Harrison, he was fantastic!

    Took a dessert and wine tour with my wife. Viator had a better description than their site. I expected different desserts, but it still worked. 3 stops graeters for ice cream Al's popcorn for great popcorn to try and a macron store. final stop was revel wine bar and winery. We had a great tour guide, Madelin. Got some history of buildings and of Washington park. They also do ghost tours. I think it was 79 dollars for a 2+ hour tour.

    Miranda was our guide for the underground brewery tour. It was a fantastic tour and she did an awesome job of giving historical detail while keeping it very light. I would highly recommend her and the tour.

    Great time and WHO KNEW this was here?! I lived in Cincinnati years ago and learned so much. Laura was so full of information and was a fantastic guide. Next we'll do the Ultimate tour. FYI - next time I won't wear flip flops!

    Underground Cincinnati tour to round out our trip. Actually really cool but also very worth it. We walked away smarter. At least about beer. And well, that seems to be what #Cincy cares about most. #PatsYourBags #DeezPats #Patsinnati #PatsAwayGames #PatsNation #Cincinatti #AmericanLegacyTours Highly recommend Harrison!!!!

    It was a really fun experience and I really loved learning of the history. I did the ultimate underground tour and I had an amazing time. I learned a lot about the history of the tunnels and the breweries. Harrison was a great guide I can't drink for another 3 years but it was still a fun time. I'll have to come back in the future to really learn more about the alcohol.

    We LOVED our tour! We did the hidden caverns tour and it was an incredible afternoon! We learned so much about the history of brewing in Cincinnati and will absolutely be back for more tours! As locals we can't wait to try them all! Patrick (Pat Daddy) was super knowledgeable and made the tour so fun, we loved his tour!

    Miranda is a phenomenal tour guide! She really made the tour! Leading the deep history of OTR was a wonderful experience.

    Dean from American Legacy Tours gave us an amazing tour filled with history, humor, and great beer at the end! I strongly recommend this tour!

    We took the 'Hidden Caverns Tour.' Our expectations from the online description and the reality of the tour didn't match, but it was still enjoyable. What's described as "underground journey of the historic Linck brewery tunnels beneath the City" was more above ground than anything. We definitely learned the history of the Linck tunnels but we were a bit disappointed we weren't touring more underground - especially since it was a cold December day. The actual cavern portion is maybe 20-25 minutes of the 90 minute tour, and is pretty cool. It's amazing what people used to be able to build without today's technology! But again, we thought most of the tour would be in caverns and tunnels. I was completely picturing a whole other underground world where you take this tunnel and pop at this brewery, then back down and end up at another one. Learning how the caverns work, it makes sense that's not an underground world like that, but the description of the tour online should be tweaked to be more 'above ground tour about the underground.' If you're interested in the history of beer it is a good tour. Shout out to our tour guide Harrison. He was a wonderful guide and he made up for the disappointment of it not being completely underground. He had great knowledge and humor, made sure we could all hear him, pointed out other things that weren't on the typical agenda, and made it enjoyable and engaging.

    Miranda was a great guide. She knew about the history of Over The Rhine. There were so many breweries there, but few are left. I learned a lot and had a great time.

    What's the most popular and fun tour for an adult group?

    Cincinnati underground. The “lost” brewery i call it, was so cool. The history and then ending up at the tap room. It was a great way to cap off the tour.

Never would I have guess we would be going on such an interesting tour and having a wonderful meal after the tour in this area. So good to see this progress. Our tour guide was Laura and while she gave useful historical facts she definitely left us with less than a hospitable feeling and that it was a bit of a drag to be giving the same tour over and over. Maybe this is the norm or maybe she was having an off day but if you are busking for tips at the tour it is a good idea to pretend to enjoy your job. Still glad we did the tour and it left us wanting for even more information on the OTR area.

I will take the other tours that you have in the future when I visit for longer times. These are great!

    The Betts House is a small museum tucked away in the West End, just off of Central Avenue. Clark…read moreStreet looks like it is miles away from Downtown Cincinnati, with its Italianate houses and gigantic canopy of oak trees. This part of town looks like it's straight out of a New England movie, with historic houses to boot. The Betts House is the oldest house in Cincinnati and Ohio, erected in 1804, just one year after Ohio became a state. The Betts family originally owned several blocks of land on the West End, but as generations passed, Cincinnati expanded and plots of land were split. Surprisingly, when the Betts lived here, the West End was considered rural. Just two stories tall and consisting of eight rooms, the house chronicles the history of the Betts family and the evolution of the West End in the permanent upstairs exhibit. Downstairs features a rotating exhibit, currently which is about the New Madrid Earthquake in 1811. The earthquake was felt here in Cincinnati and caused extensive damage to the Betts' kitchen. Sounds pretty cool, so why only three stars? During my visit, a mother brought her toddler to visit one of the docents. Their conversation could be heard loudly throughout the house, even when I was on the second floor and they were downstairs. The toddler was screaming and crawling all over the place. The docent didn't seem to mind that she was getting weird looks from myself and a few of the other guests. That being said, please do not bring children to the Betts House. It's a museum for adults or mature youth. Most of the exhibit features text and diagrams which are much too complex for anyone under age 10. Also, since there is a lot of reading, excessive noise and talking disturbs other patrons. Lastly, when I went upstairs to view the Betts Family exhibit, the room featured a few posterboards propped up on the floor. They weren't on stands or affixed to the wall like a normal museum. I actually had to kneel to read the end of the paragraphs. As a historical landmark, the Betts House is worth a look. The presentation at the museum, on the other hand, I could go either way. Cost per person: $2.00 Viewing Time: 1 hour Tips: - Ample, free street parking - Not handicapped accessible, as it is preserved as a historic house. - Check out the neighboring house with a placard, where the Gamble Family once resided.

    Did you know Cincinnati is home to the World's Largest Unfinished Subway System?…read more In 1916, Cincinnatians had a dream: to relieve traffic congestion and improve health concerns by creating a rapid transit system underneath present day Central Parkway. Originally part of the Miami-Erie Canal, the unused waterway was drained, dug out by horse-and-plow, then filled in with concrete. The plan was to create a 16-mile loop of mass transit around the city, stretching from Race Street at Central Parkway, to Clifton, Norwood, Oakley, then back Downtown. The project progressed for ten years then came to a halt after a change in political leaders and financial troubles. The completed portion included six stations along a route spanning from Downtown to Norwood. In 1928, the Cincinnati Subway project was officially abandoned. Over the years, people tried to revive the subway system as well as proposing other uses for it, such as: a wine cellar, a mushroom farm, an aeronautic wind tunnel, and an entertainment venue similar to Underground Atlanta. The Cincinnati Subway is still in tact today. Two miles of tunnels are located underneath Central Parkway between Race Street to just north of the Western Hills Viaduct. Three of the stations remain; the other three were demolished in the 1950s to make way for I-75. While the concrete structure is complete, no rails, electricity, or trains were ever installed. The structure itself is in good condition, especially for being almost 100 years old. While it is off-limits to the public, Cincinnati Museum Center gives an annual tour of the subway in May; an excellent opportunity to go exploring in our city's deepest secret. The tunnels have the potential to be used for modern-day rail transit, with a few improvements, of course.

Someday I'd love to go to the museum in Vegas and compare. I really wanted to take neon classes here, but didn't get the chance to - neon classes are generally super rare from what I can tell. If you have interest at all, you should take classes!! The love, care and knowledge put into this museum is really obvious. I just wish it was larger and had even more signs :) Loved the "city" concept as a display. I'll think of the sign museum fondly when I remember Cincinnati!

    Great experience at the sign museum on our first ever trip to Cincinnati. We had spent way longer…read morethan expected browsing at Jungle Jim's and hurried our way over to the sign museum with an hour to spare. The employee let us know they closed in an hour, but we should still have enough time (an hour was the perfect amount of time for us to read and look at all the signs). It's priced reasonably enough that I would pay to go back and see it again if I wanted. Tons of signage (haha) to read about the signs. A couple of them had QR codes you could scan to read more about. The history of the sign industry was really cool to learn about, and seeing them lit up and in action was even better. I loved the way the museum was styled and designed, making it look like you're walking down a bustling street complete with storefronts, street lamps, and even a couple fire hydrants. If you're a fan of vintage artifacts and big flashing signs, then this is the place to visit!
