Our tour started at Music Hall where we learned a LOT about the history and construction of the building. We then headed to Over The Rhine learning some history and seeing some great architecture along the way. Lunch was at the Sacred Beast which I highly recommend! A mini city tour on the streetcar followed taking us to Findlay Market . The Market has an amazing array of just about anything edible you could wish for. I would highly recommend taking one of Cincinnati Food Tour tours, you will not regret it!
