My guide Harrison was knowledgeable. Enjoyed the tour even though I bought it for my husband as a birthday present! I would recommend him to anyone interested in this tour!
Hidden Caverns Tour
Harrison did an outstanding job providing the history of the area and the reasons for the tunnels. As a local Cincinnatian , this was my first tour like this and enjoyed it very much. Would definitely recommend this to friends and family. Harrison also had the best looking hair in the entire group.
A must in Cleveland
Great tour lots of knowledge!! Great stories!! Would highly recommend doing this tour, beer at the end was excellent!
Great city and tour.
This was a great review of Cincinnati brewing and OTR history. Miranda was great. You learn a lot about the community and get a great drink from Northern Row.
