Restrictions
From time to time, we walk 2-3 blocks from the streetcar stop to a restaurant or specialty shop so this tour is not recommended for those who have difficulty walking. The streetcar itself is accessible to those of all abilities, but seating is not always available on the car itself. Please call 513-602-5602 to discuss any special accommodations you may need at our restaurant stops.
Disclaimers
Itinerary is for illustration only. We have a number of restaurant partners so our stops vary and menu selections change.
Cancellations
Activity takes place rain or shine. If you need to change your reservations for any reason, we will do our best to work with you. However, last minute requests are difficult because our merchants and/or restaurant partners may have already been paid to prepare samples. If we are forced to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances, we will work with you to reschedule or will offer a gift card in exchange for the full value of your purchase. Call Barb at 513-602-5602.
