There is absolutely no way, you could get as nice a hotel, a reservation at hofbräuhaus the night before, and a reservation at a Traditional Tent, trying to book this trip on your own. Trust me, I tried. You get everything from the traditional to the touristy if you want it, on this tour. We love the traditional tent reservation that is included in this tour, it is fun and festive. The hotel we stay in is modern, clean, and a great location to the fair grounds. Our Tour Guide Michael is the best part of this tour, he is so helpful and relaxed. He is there to make sure we have fun while staying safe in a foreign city.

A great museum complex packed with tons of fascinating exhibits and history!…read moreThis is a place with several "museums within a museum" because there is the main visitor's center building that has a variety of aviation exhibits, but it also houses the parachute museum within the walls of the visitor's center. There is also a national parks gift shop where you can get your passport stamped, buy aviation related merchandise and get some other national parks items. Across from the entrance, there is another building - one of the Wright Brothers cycle shop buildings. You can enter as part of one of their hourly tours. The exhibits inside are informative and a few are interactive. They also show a film about the Wright Brothers lives. They also offer a junior ranger program book that gets kids more engaged in the exhibits. My daughter loved completing the booklet and getting sworn in as a ranger! If you are traveling the aviation trail (or if you are wanting to learn more about the Wright Brothers) this is a must visit! The staff were wonderful and informative.

This is a very worthwhile visit and one of the better curated museums that I've seen among the NPS…read morefacilities. And that is saying something because I think the collection of NPS museums are among the best around. This particular facility is located by the Wright Brothers 4th cycle shop in near-West Dayton. When we visited, there were a handful of opportunities to tour the small shop itself on the half hour through the middle of the day. This was with one of the NPS guides as an interpreter. The shop tour was only 20 - 30 minutes but provided an excellent overview of the history of the Brothers as their business ventures evolved and as they eventually moved toward aeronautics. The display also touches on the history of the bicycle and its place in American life at the close of 19th Century. This itself is an interesting subject to explore a bit. Note that registration for and commencement of the tour are in the Visitor Center. The museum in the main building is two floors and covers the lives of the Wrights as well as that of Paul Laurence Dunbar. The story of the Wrights is fascinating and their mechanical genius is well documented. The struggles with the patent and overcoming political obstinance within the US government is a part of the narrative most don't know. What particularly caught my attention was their discovery that the accepted physical constants of the day regarding drag coefficients, etc. were wrong and were impeding efforts toward successful flight by those in the field. This discovery and their subsequent corrective action gave them their leg up in being the first to advance flight. While science is by definition objective reality, sometimes humans interpret it incorrectly crossing the boundary between science and dogma. The claim of "scientific fact" always comes with potentially fallible interpretation and should always be questioned. It's hard to reverse a wrong path. Dunbar's life is an equally interesting story. A prolific writer who died far too early, his journey to get past the profound racial barriers of his day is one worth understanding. It is significant to ponder what could have been without the shackles of prejudice. His brilliance is clear from his writing and the volume of his production. A visit to this museum is time well spent. The lives of the Wrights, the history of flight, the state of the art in the area of mechanical devices in the late 19th century and the life of PL Dunbar are all intriguing subjects that are explored. You can easily spend 2 - 3 enjoyable hours here.

The staff was cool and was having a good time with us and we wanted them to feel like they were apart of the party too. I believe you can have up to 14 people and we used all that space and fit comfortable on the boat.

I expected the group I was with to be a little more lively and to really cut up but they didn't. It might have been because we were coming from Indy on a Sunday afternoon. I will do this again next time Im in Cincinnati with a live bunch and really take advantage.

One birthday many years ago, my wife thought it would be cool to take a tour of local breweries…read more Somehow though the power of the internet, we found Cincy Brew Bus, an experiment of sorts - which we found was just starting out. I honestly remember being told it was one of the first couple tours they did. So here we are, on a used yellow school bus with a bunch of strangers having no idea what to expect and honestly expectations were becoming cloudy, but we were up for a good time no matter what. What became crystal clear rather quickly was the owner knew a lot about the brewery history of the area, appreciated it, and was on fire for the quest for great beer. Damn if that doesn't sound like a cause I can get behind! Right after the first stop of drinks, a tour and chat with a brewer with some Q&A, we all didn't seem like strangers anymore. There was so much interaction between us all during the stop, all barriers were gone. Just a bunch of folks who had that same fire, a love of great beer. Flash forward to today, obviously the school bus got retired and Cincy Brew Bus has established themselves as the premiere brewery tour company in the greater Cincy area. We've taken several tours over the years from them during various stages of growth, and no matter what ends up being different... one thing remains constant. The fire for great beer, the transfer of it's rich history -it's effect on the area, and how it all comes together in the brewing process remains the solid focus for Mike and his team. We are still friends with many of those we've taken these tours with. If you're looking for something great to do in the area, this should be high on your list. Honestly, you're missing out if you don't.

Overall a fun tour with interesting stops getting to know many of the fine dining restaurateurs and story of how and why they decided to open in Dayton. If you want a fun afternoon I highly recommend joining Chrissie for a tour. Chrissie really needs to plan a second tour I would buy tickets in a heart beat!

The tour included 6 food/drink stops and a few bonus stops of interest along the way. It lasted about 3.5 hours and we walked around 2 miles total. Each of the restaurants told us a little about their establishment and then shared a delicious sampling of what they have to offer. Chrissie was a fantastic guide with a wealth of information about Dayton history as we walked. She kept us moving to keep on schedule but it never felt rushed. JAM started as just a summer venture, but hopefully they will decide to add dates this fall. We will definitely recommend them to friends.
