Private Cincinnati Food Tour with 6 Local Delicacies
Overview
Experience Cincinnati’s rich flavors on our Secret Food Tour through the city’s vibrant historic district. With 6+ tastings, you’ll discover why locals are so proud of their food traditions. Bite into a warm Goetta, egg, and cheese sandwich—an iconic Queen City breakfast favorite. Savor the legendary Taconey, then indulge your sweet side with handmade cake truffles, a golden Liège waffle, and the city’s most famous scoop: creamy Graeter’s ice cream. As you eat your way through hidden gems and beloved classics, your guide will share the stories, culture, and history that shaped Cincinnati’s unique food scene. And, as always, you’ll finish with our delicious Secret Dish, revealed only during the tour. Join us for a flavorful journey that blends tradition, comfort, and a touch of indulgence in every bite.
