  • HANDCRAFTED CHOCOLATE DRINK
    Enjoy a hot or frozen (depending on the season) handcrafted chocolate drink featuring locally made, small batch, ethically traded bean-to-bar chocolate
  • LOCAL CRAFT BEER OR CIDER
    Take your pick of a craft beer or cider made by Cincinnati's favorite local craft brewery, Rhineguist. Rotating drafts include Cincy Light, Truth IPA, and Mango Bubbles.
  • RED CREAM SODA HARD SELTZER
    There are conflicting stories about where, exactly, red cream soda was invented, but we like to believe that it happened right here at the Barq's plant in 1937! Cool down with this refreshing trip down memory lane, now with 5% ABV!

WHY THE STREETCAR?

Cincinnati is made up of dozens of vibrant neighborhoods due to its rapid growth and the influx of immigrant groups arriving during the American Westward Expansion. Each of these historic enclaves has its own distinct character, history, and attractions. To visit only one is not really to experience Cincinnati! Luckily, we have The Connector, a modern electric streetcar that not only allows us to explore three of the Queen City's crown jewels in the same amount of time it would normally take to visit just one but also serves as a tribute to our eclectic public transportation past, which includes canals, funiculars, and even an abandoned subway system!

So, hop on board and get ready for a foodie adventure through a true slice of Americana while traveling like the locals do—we're sure you'll enjoy the ride!

IS YOUR FOOD TOUR SUITABLE FOR A VEGETARIAN OR SOMEONE WITH OTHER DIETARY REQUIREMENTS?

Due to the nature of creating a well-balanced and thoughtful gastronomy experience, many of our tours are unable to accommodate certain dietary restrictions. Please contact us at [email protected] prior to booking your tour to see if we are able to accommodate your dietary needs.

I AM TRAVELING WITH MY FAMILY, IS THE TOUR OK FOR INFANTS/CHILDREN?

Children are more than welcome to our tour if of an appropriate age to enjoy.

I don't drink alcohol. Can I book your tour?

This is not a problem, we have different options. Just inform our guide before the tour starts.

Is there enough food during your tour?

Think of the tour as a tasting menu. As we travel you get many delicious treats that comprise a meal with dessert. But there is a lot of food, you will not be hungry after the tour.

Where do I add my discount voucher?
Vocuher
I would like to take your tour but it is already fully booked. Is there a way I can do the tour?

Our tours are often sold out very quickly. If the date you requested is not available, please do not hesitate to email us and we can see if there is anything we can do. We cannot promise but we will try our best to sort something out for you.

Is there a lot of walking?

To join our food tour, you must wear comfortable shoes. There will be around 45 minutes walking but it's not too difficult and there are no hills or stairs. If you walk slowly, then our guide will walk slowly as well.

How many people max are on this tour?

We take 12 people maximum. If you are more than 12 people, please do not hesitate to email us and will try to see if we can accommodate.

I cannot find a way to print the confirmation. Is it OK if I have it on my phone?

You do not have to print your voucher. A confirmation on your phone will be fine!

If I purchase a voucher as a gift, or am given a voucher how long is it valid for?

All of our vouchers expire one year from the date of purchase.

Can I choose my own cheese and meat?

Our guide will take care of everything. Should you wish to try something special, please inform our guide and they will do their best to make you happy.

Where does your food come from?

The food and drinks are top-quality, fresh and local!

What if it rains or I change my plans?

Unfortunately, the weather is unpredictable. We do not issue refunds as per our terms and conditions. We also inform you that we never cancel a booking even if we have only 2 people! However we do reserve the right to cancel the tour if we feel and we cannot run the tour due to extreme weather for more info see our Terms and Conditions: https://www.secretfoodtours.com/terms-and-conditions/

Can I pay the tour in cash?

You must book directly on our website. We do not accept cash payments. Our online payment is safe, secured and SSL protected.

Why do we need to pay for booking fee?

The booking fee that you have to pay is to our ticket provider and we can't change it. All our clients need to pay for it upon booking. The booking fee charged contributes to the cost of the ticketing system to provide an excellent service to our customers.

Foreign Transaction Fees

A few banks have charged their customer an extra fee while booking with us (this isn't the booking fee but another fee added by the bank). We think this is unfair, if this happens let us know by showing us your bank statement and we will refund as a gesture of good will.
