Traveler reviews
Great tour!
Miranda was a great tour guide! A wealth of knowledge, great at explaining things, and super funny! We learned a lot and had a memorable time.
Fun tour, great value
Harrison was a great guide. The weather was hot and humid so he did his best to keep us in the shade for the outdoor portion. The caverns were fun and he was funny, knowledgeable, and able to answer every question. Excellent tour and worth the price.
Uber cool tour on July 4,2026
Visited July 4, 2026. Really cool tour and our guide was an Aussie girl named Miranda who was so knowledgeable about the history of Cincinnati and the tunnels used to age and ferment beer. Found out about the tunnels watching S2.E1 of Underground Worlds on Amazon Prime. Great beer tasting at the end.
Miranda was fantastic! It...
Miranda was fantastic! It was 95 degrees outside but she was very accommodating! The stories of local history was very cool to learn
Excellent Tour with Professional, Engaging Guide
The tour was interesting and fun. Our guide, Miranda, was a funny and engaging story teller. The group we were with had some interesting characters and she handled it like a pro. I loved learning about the history of the area and seeing the caverns.
