Ultimate Underground Tour

           Did you know that many years ago, life underneath Cincinnati, yes, I said underneath, was thriving and the best place to be? We could’ve had a subway system just like New York does today! Mass transportation was huge back in the 1800s, and Cincinnati wanted to hop on the bandwagon, so they started construction for their very own subway system. Unfortunately, because of a lack of go-to attitude, it was never finished. It is the largest abandoned subway system in the United States. It is one of the city’s biggest embarrassments and failures. There have been proposals to complete it, but for now, it just sits there. Many Cincinnatians don’t even know that subway tunnels exist under their city. Cincinnati’s Underground life is a very fascinating thing. Besides the subways, we had a lifetime supply of beer under the city. This was the best place to store beer. It hid it from all of the cops and the rest of the people banning liquor above and it kept it really cold. It’s cold underground, no insulation, so it’s just like a giant fridge, except you can just walk right in and have plenty of room to stand around.

            If you like history and learning all about what used to go in your city, but you think you already know all about your city, you don’t, unless you’ve also gone on this tour. The Ultimate Underground Tour will show you everything that used to be under Cincinnati back in the day. You’ll learn all about the history, beer and even politics from the old days. The Ultimate Underground tour is just like the Underground Tour in that you see the same stuff, going through the old tunnels and seeing where they stored all of the beer, but what comes extra with the Ultimate Underground Tour is all of the rich history and facts you receive. The tour guides are fun and share the information in a way that is entertaining, informative, and easy to understand.

            I read two reviews on tripadvisor.com about this tour, and they both loved the tour. Sara said she went with some friends and they all really enjoyed it. Their favorite part was walking through the tunnels. She said that, “The guides were great fun.”  “The inside of the church was very pretty and I really liked seeing the Irish crypts.” “Of the tour companies, the people here were the nicest ones.”

            Another review from Holly was a positive one as well. Her favorite part was the old tunnels used to store beer in the 1800s. She said, “Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining throughout the tour.” “I’ve lived in Cincinnati my whole life and only recently found out about these tours.” “Very enjoyable.”

            So if you are looking for a great tour of Cincinnati that teaches you about the city under the city, look no further than the Ultimate Underground Tour!
