      Great tour and a great guide
      Such a cool tour! So much history of Cincinnati. Our tour guide, Renee, was so knowledgeable but also energetic and a ton of fun! This was a quick trip into the city for this tour and was totally worth it! I look forward to visiting the city again.

      Hidden Cavern Tour - Cincinnati
      Miranda was fantastic! Some great Cinci history woven into the tour with humor. The 1 hr 45 minutes went by so quickly. There were 9 of us for my wife’s birthday. Everyone thought it was great. Hi Mom!

      Great experience
      What a great experience. So very informative and fun. Our tour guide, Miranda was amazing. Such a joy and she took the time to talk to us personally asking where we were from and telling us about herself. I would definitely recommend this as really fun outing for anyone.

      So interesting! So fascinating! Cannot stop thinking about this history!!
      I was visiting Cincinnati for the first time and booked this tour directly through the tour agency American Legacy Tours. Our tour guide was Laura and she was so impressive!! Laura knew all her facts and was able to help me really get a sense of the history of this area. It was fascinating! I would HIGHLY encourage anyone to take this tour if you like history and love to learn about people lived and worked in the past. The history of over the rhine area and how beer used to be made is so unique. I cannot image the work it took to make these caverns. It seems a shame they aren’t used today. So many possibilities!! Take the tour. It is well worth your time. Thank you Laura!!

      Fascinating!
      My mom and I visited OTR and decided to go on the Hidden Brewery Caverns Tour. Our tour guide was Laura and she did an amazing job explaining the history of the area and I felt comfortable asking questions during the tour. The weather was amazing and the caverns were so cool! I didn’t realize how historic OTR in Cincinnati is and I feel more connected to the city after Laura told us all about its past. I highly recommend this tour (with Laura as your guide) and I also recommend “The Heckler” beer when you have the beer tasting afterward!

      Amazing Tunnel Tour
      This is our second time taking the tour and it was better than the first time, which is saying something because it was pretty amazing the first time. Miranda is incredible and very entertaining. I love that she has such a passion for her job and for her adopted country. We will definitely try the ghost tour some day! Hi Mom!!

      Very enjoyable tour
      We really enjoyed our tour! This was our second time touring Cincinnati's beer cellars. While we wished we could go into Jackson brewery's cellars, the Linck tunnels are so neat. Our guide, Miranda was knowledgeable, informative, and fun. She also mentioned some of the historical items in our meeting place, Northern Row Brewing. Worth it for sure.

      Interesting and Thorough
      Our tour guide, Renee, was extremely knowledgeable. We learned so much more about Cincinnati than expected. She was a great storyteller with many fun facts peppered throughout her tour. The caverns were super interesting, and we enjoyed the beverage included in the tour, as well.

    The tour was reasonably priced and I was happy that it was a walking tour, the length of the tour was also a highlight for me. At 2-3 hrs it feels like it was worth the money and it didn’t feel rushed. We were able to go to two secluded areas that are not open to the public. The crypt in the church and the old beer brewing tunnels were very fun to see. The brewery tunnels were definitely worth the trip. The tour guide (Harrison) was great, he had a lot to say and spoke with a lively narrative cadence. He sounded like he enjoyed his job which helped make the tour enjoyable.

    This was a very interesting and enjoyable tour. We learned things about Cincinnati that we didn't already know from other tours in the city. Harrison did a great job narrating and was very kind to those who were struggling to do all of the walking and climbing.That being said, I wouldn't recommend the tour if you have mobility issues.

    We had a brilliant tour given by the extremely knowledgable and incredibly enthusiastic Julie. We learned so much about Cincinnati and really enjoyed going underground. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for good value for money, 2 hours well spent, and a chance to learn lots about this fascinating city. Julie also have us some great restaurant recommendations during the tour which we look forward to checking out.

    Had a day to spend in Cincinnati and discovered the Over the Rhine neighborhood. I wanted to know more about the history of the area and the Ultimate Queen City Underground tour was available. It was incredible and I enjoyed it well beyond my expectations…all thanks to our guide, Harrison. He was knowledgeable, funny, and kept the group engaged with an easy, approachable personality. I can’t recommend this tour and Harrison enough.

    The five of us (myself, my 2 grown kids with their partners) did the Underground tour this past weekend on a Sunday afternoon. All of us live and work in Greater Cincinnati. In addition, there was another group of 4 also from the area, a guy from San Francisco by himself, and three people (husband and wife and teenage daughter) originally from China. The entire group was immediately welcomed and put at ease by our tour guide Zak, an ex-Marine and ex-HS teacher. He was bursting with energy and information that he couldn't wait to share with the group. The tour itself was nothing short of fantastic, exploring Over the Rhine, including the crypt under the St. Francis Seraph church and then the tour's "piece de resistance", an "under-Underground" site that was just spectacular. Along the way Zak provided a wealth of data and trivia, and he remained flexible as to the group's needs. At one point, someone asked "what is the name of this street", and impromptu Zak changed the tour's itinerary to explain the name of the street and why its name had changed at some point. Bottom line: these 2 hours just flew by in no time, and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Please tip your tour guide very generously! They absolutely deserve it!

    Over The Rhine, (OTR) has new meaning to me after an informative and interesting tour of the Cincinnati neighborhood, of the same name. Cade, our tour guide for the well-attended 11:00 tour, did an outstanding job of orchestrate our history walking tour through the city streets before heading underground. Well equipped with a speaker system, Cade was easy to hear, well informed, and just so darn nice providing restaurant and attractions recommendations. The hidden underground beer manufacturing system is just so unusual. An underground experience we were not expecting. There are some tricky stairs involved with descending into the underground cavern, so make sure to wear good fully covered footwear.

    Our tour guide was Tracee. She was totally awesome. Very knowledgeable and attentive to every person in her tour group. Tracee made sure we were safe and sound while moving through out the tour. Tracee was very funny yet focused and touched on key topics and information concerning the history of Cincinnati. I loved her attitude, very positive and would recommend this tour guide and tour to any adventure seeker. Overall, Tracee did a great job with the tour today and I am very impressed by Tracee.

    Ultimate Queen City Underground Tour The tour provided us with an amazing history of Cincinnati and of a period of time where the bourbon industry was flourishing. Harrison, our guide was a wealth of information, was very friendly and, had a great sense of humour. He seemed to really enjoy his job. His enthusiasm was quite infectious. I would highly recommend this tour as it gave us a much better appreciation of the history of Cincinnati, and the way people lived in a bygone era. It definitely set the tone for a great visit of an amazing city.

    Eric was our most knowledgeable tour guide, The first 45 minutes was a brisk walking tour with many stops to give historical information. The colorful area took on a new light with stories of the city’s history. Many good restaurants were suggested. A visit to a beautiful Catholic Church and basement crypt was very interesting.
    This introduction to the above ground, led to our time below, where many stories were told of the people of the era, their lives and employment.

    I took two business visitors from Belgium who had never been to Cincinnati before, let alone OTR. The overall group was about 10-12 people, enough to make it easy on everyone but not too big. I had taken this tour before, and this time it was not quite exactly the same, which was perfect for me. As for my guests from Belgium, there were completely blown away by the experience. Our tour guide Renee was the absolute best: full of passion and energy (she wore a hoodie that said "I am a tour guide and I heart my job"), very knowledgeable, super friendly. This tour isa cannot-miss for both locals and for out-ot-towners. Thank you American Legacy Tours for a freat experience! Paul Allaer
