The Ultimate Queen City Underground Tour descends beneath the street grid into limestone tunnels that predate the Civil War.

Your guide leads you through where cool air carries a faint mineral smell of ancient rock and old timber.

The Cincinnati Indoor Skydiving Experience with 2 Flights and Personalized Certificate takes place in a vertical wind tunnel that generates the same airflow physics as an actual freefall. The sensation is identical to the first few seconds of a skydive: the rush of air pressing against your face, the watering eyes, and the total body weightlessness that takes most people two or three seconds to stop fighting and start enjoying.

The Ethnic Food Tour in Over the Rhine with Riverside Food Tours moves through one of America's most architecturally notable immigrant neighborhoods.

The Ultimate Queen City is Haunted Tour covers Cincinnati's documented and debated paranormal history with storytelling rigor that takes the material seriously without demanding that participants commit to any particular belief about what they're hearing.

The Cincy Brunch History and Streetcar Tour with Riverside Food Tours uses Cincinnati's streetcar system to connect morning food stops with the city's social and architectural history.

Phantoms of the Pig Iron Past: Cursed Cincinnati Ghost Tours takes its name from the industrial era when Cincinnati's waterfront was defined by iron foundries and metal works.
