Overview

Travel the world without leaving Cincinnati! If you’re looking for fun things to do in Cincinnati, this guided culinary tour will introduce you to some of the best ethnic food in town. 
We may begin with Hawaiian-inspired steamed bun filled with a delicious BBQ, a glass of bubble tea, a Mexican street taco. Other unique tastings may include an Argentinean empanada, or a slice of NY style pizza. We may feature French macarons or a piece of Lebanese baklava. Or visit to a modern day beer garden for a sample of German delights!
