Summary: This tour was a great way to get an introduction to Cincinnati and the important sights. Our driver Chuck was excellent and added to the recorded commentary with addition information and updates. The recorded commentary worked fine and I enjoyed the photos and pictures that were displayed. The photo stop at Union Terminal was great. A coupe of other stops on the tour for pictures would add to the experience. O stall a great 2 hours
