Patrick did a wonderful job, and it was a very enjoyable evening! I would highly recommend- the underground tunnels were the coolest part

Very interesting and informative! The "Baconater" was an excellent guide. Catherine was very chatty with the dowsing rods last night! I wish i could have stayed down longer to check out tunnel #4

    Our guide, Breslin (??) aka “the Baconator” was awesome! Very knowledgeable, fun personality. We journeyed in from out of state and were delayed by traffic, but she was patient and accommodating with us arriving late.

    Great Tour!

    Really fun tour! Husband and I had a great time learning about the history of Cincinnati with Justin.

    Ghost me once, shame on you; ghost me twice shame on me :)

    Nice walking tour. Guide was entertaining with lots of energy and was a good story teller. A little short on substance related to ghosts that allegedly haunted places visited as compared to other ghost tours but was still an enjoyable walk thru brewery district and into historic tunnels.

    Enjoyed the stories from Laura. She is an excellent guide. The tour is unique and fun getting to go in the taverns and searching for ghost was fun.

    History with a flair of fright

    Scott_S, Oct 2024
    History of the OTR area was delightful. It was scary how many ghosts haunt Over the Rhine to this day!!!

    Response from Host, Oct 2024

    Happy to hear you enjoyed your experience. The Nightmare on Elm Street is full of Cincinnati history and a little spooky!

    Not what expected

    Cathy_V, Oct 2024
    There was not much substance to the tour. Walking around a few blocks and listening to stories. The tunnel was interesting from historic standpoint. Would not recommend

    Great tour

    Maranda was amazing! And the whole trip was awesome. I would definitely do it again, and recommend to someone else.

    Fantastic

    I would recommend this tour to anyone. Rene was great, very energetic keeping everyone’s attention. She delivered facts about Cincinnati that I knew and many I did not. My daughter and I will definitely do more tours in Cincinnati, hopefully with Rene.
