Never would I have guess we would be going on such an interesting tour and having a wonderful meal after the tour in this area. So good to see this progress. Our tour guide was Laura and while she gave useful historical facts she definitely left us with less than a hospitable feeling and that it was a bit of a drag to be giving the same tour over and over. Maybe this is the norm or maybe she was having an off day but if you are busking for tips at the tour it is a good idea to pretend to enjoy your job. Still glad we did the tour and it left us wanting for even more information on the OTR area.

He was VERY knowledgeable and very easy to get along with. The length of the tour was perfect and ended with the best part - the underground.

We went on the Captain's Lunch Cruise on a sunny but chilly day in late April. It was really…read moreenjoyable and worth the price for sure. We sailed on the River Queen which is the smaller boat. The food buffet was very good and there was something for every taste. Very fresh salad with two dressing options, rolls, meltingly tender beef in a rich brown gravy, baked chicken, mashed potatoes, farfalle pasta in red sauce, scrumptious grilled vegetables. And decadent creamy cheesecake for dessert. Free coffee and tea, and reasonably priced bar drinks for purchase. Our server, Anna (Onna?) was most attentive and usually within sight if you wanted something. The whole crew were very professional, very polite and respectful and eager to please. Our entertainer was engaging with his ongoing narration of the sights and historical facts along the river interspersed with banjo music. The two hours went by quickly. I put on my hoodie and spent some time out on deck, where you can smoke 'em if you got 'em. I decided it was time for a cocktail so I ordered an Anchors Away which was delicious, nautically blue, and had a definite kick. I was really looking forward to getting the pictured souvenir glass, but the first of two wrinkles took place as I was advised they were out of them due to some recent large parties on the bigger boat. Boo. If you're going to advertise souvenir glasses, order more than enough to keep them in stock. Anna arranged to give me the drink in the larger souvenir vessel, which is pretty, but heavy ceramic and I don't see myself using it at home other than for a decoration. The second wrinkle was our bar tab printed out as though I ordered multiple drinks. My husband didn't look at it and just handed over the debit card...then I saw it and went up to tell them not to run it but it was too late. Somehow they had already realized it was wrong but it took such a long time for them to figure out how to void the transaction, which bothered me. The cruise director had to get involved to fix it. Her name was Tasha and she was very nice and so apologetic about the situation, she comped our drinks for the trouble and boxed up some cheesecake for us to take home. She seemed to agree with me that if the owners had not decided to "go cashless" last year this would never have happened. I asked her to pass on my comment that it is not good to refuse to accept payment in legal tender American money and I feel it was a bad move. For this reason I will never give five stars even if the cruise is flawless. Nonetheless I hope to have the chance to take a cruise on the River Queen later this year.

Our server, Keisha, was great but was overwhelmed with drink orders before the buffet started. After a somewhat chaotic start, the staff got their rhythm going and everything worked better from that point on. The buffet was really delicious. The tour itself was OK. It had a great view of downtown Cincinnati at the beginning but not much else after that. It was a decent trip, but only for the food and the great service from Keisha.

The waiting area is beautifully decorated and calming. The guys were easy to talk to and put everyone at ease. Collin Drive is out to the Robinson on a golf cart and reviewed the safety procedures, then took pictures of us that he later sent us. We took the park tour and it was amazing. Since it was my boyfriends first time he sat up front with the pilot. Tony pointed out all the amazing lAndmarks and gave us a lot of history. BF said he never even thought to be nervous which is amazing (we rode in a no-plane once, different story lol) We stayed in Cincinnati and later saw the helicopter giving other tours so that was pretty cool too! I definitely recommend this company for any air your needs!

A++++++++++++ 10 out of 10!…read more Look, you're not going to find a museum dedicated to signs of this nature anywhere else. The American Sign Museum sat on my to-visit list for years. I couldn't wait to see it. That wait finally ended this past Labor Day weekend when we took a trip to Cincinnati. This museum is everything it's billed to be and more. In fact, you don't even need to go inside to start to experience some of the great signs that they've accumulated. From neon signs to murals to metal signs, canvas signs, posters..you name it, they have it all. I'm in my 50's so many of these signs resonate to my youth. We didn't have electronic devices back in the 1970's, so looking out the window during road trips was what we did. And it's then that I saw these signs and fell in love with them. As time strips and destroys them, it's truly awesome to see a museum that's restoring and displaying them in all of their brilliance. The artistic value alone for these signs is off the charts. And the neon signs are simply remarkable. I took about 400 pictures while we were here and will just post one to give you an idea of what's in store. Enjoy!

Heritage Programs presents an amazing tour of the Geier Center, which stores all of the artifacts…read morenot on display at Cincinnati Museum Center. The Geier Center is home to 350,000 Cincinnati history objects, and a total of over one million history and natural history items. The four hour tour costs $35.00 and includes a show-and-tell with the Geier Center curator as well as a walking tour to view all the shelves in the depository. Here's a small list of what I saw: - A trowel from 1928 which was used to lay the first cornerstone at Union Terminal. - A leather baby shoe from Mary Ludlow, the first infant born in Cincinnati in 1788. - Colonel James Findlay's dress cutlass, circa 1825. He was the founder of Findlay Market. - A pocket-sized tin to save chewed gum, invented in Cincinnati. - A firefighter's top hat, worn in parades in 1853. - A miniature milling machine used as a sales model which helped found Cincinnati Milling Machine Company (Milicron.) - A Crosely-brand car, drove by none other than Powel Crosley himself. The roof was only 5-feet tall and its maximum speed was 70 mph. - Boxes from Ivory Soap, the first floating soap, which was invented after too much oil was added to the mixture. - Ulysses S. Grant's baby crib. - An extensive collection of Civil War General William Lytle's belongings are in the depository, including his Union battle coat, writing desk, liquor chest, and war medal. A well-respected General, Lytle's soldiers fashioned the award by melting their wedding rings for gold. The medal also features a large emerald and several diamonds. - The hangman's hood from the execution of Alonzo Walling and Scott Jackson, who murdered Pearl Bryan after learning of her pregnancy. (Also known as Bobby Mackey's haunting.) The hood still has a mouth print on it. - A wooden, coffin-like "pen" for mental patients. Doctors would lock the patients in them when they went to bed. - Early dental tools, which resembled a nail on a metal stick and a hand-crank drill. People were terrified of dentists, as tooth extractions would often break of at the root leading to a painful infection. - Medical quackery devices, such as a Bleeder. Bleeding someone was thought to reduce the pressures in the body and keep fluids in balance. The bleeder was a sophisticated, "modern" device that had been invented to "reduce the humors". Bloodletting was used to treat a variety of illnesses and injuries and was a common practice for many centuries. - A wine cask that symbolized a pact between a group of men during a cholera outbreak. Every year on October 6, the men would meet and one bring the cask. The men vowed to never open the wine. Once all the members in the group died, the last man living would drink the wine. Most died in their 30s and 40s, but the oldest lived into his 80s and drank the wine. Inside the cask is the empty bottle as well as papers with details of each member, birth and death date. - A campaign poster from William Henry Harrison, one of the first Presidential candidates to create propaganda for themselves. During the Presidential election of 1840, Harrison was portrayed as an out-of-touch hard cider drinker who lived in a log cabin. To combat this stereotype, Harrison distributed large linen campaign posters embroidered with log cabins and cider jugs. He also passed out small jugs that were shaped like glass cabins and filled with cider. The liquor was distilled by the E.C. Booz company, which led to the origin of the word "booze." --- During this same election, Martin Van Buren was nicknamed "Old Kinderhook" after his birthplace in Kinderhook, NY. His supporters formed the "O.K. Club" and the phrase "He's O.K.!" This later developed of the word "okay." --- Harrison's campaign also consisted of a huge wooden ball that had slogans on it. The ball was rolled from town to town. It was a lot of work to "keep the ball rolling", and originated this figure of speech. All of these are a drop in the bucket compared to vast collection you will see on this tour. The variety of artifacts is amazing, and each has a vivid story. Whether you like the Civil War or dark history, Treasures of the Queen City has something for everyone.
