Enjoyable Experience

It was a great tour. Dean provided stories of interest-some things I didn’t know despite having lived in the Queen City for 2 decades. I recommend it.

Ask for Harrison!

We took the Ultimate Queen CIty Underground tour last Monday while visiting Cincinnati with our friends from Arizona. As avid travelers we are also tour junkies. That being said Harrison (with the good hair!) was 10 out of 10 the best. Truly hands down the best tour we have done. SO much fun. Harrison had the perfect blend of history, humor and story telling that made the time fly and the experience fun for all. My only regret is that the kids and grandkids were not on this trip because I think they would have loved it as well. This is a tour for everyone. We loved learning about the city and enjoyed Cincinnati much more than we anticipated and can't wait to come back and do another tour...hopefully with Harrison! We are proud supporters of public education and hopefully did our part to show that while visiting! If you know...you know! Run don't walk to this tour. You won't be dissappointed!
