Cinti's place in baseball history - Informative tour, surprisingly relevant to Cincinnati. Several behind-the-scenes players were crucial to how 1919 was corrupted and later investigated. Highly recommended for those interested in Cinti's place in baseball history. Mike is a five-star tour guide, well informed and an interesting presenter.

Baseball and History - I would highly recommend this tour! Dean was an excellent guide through this very interesting era of baseball! Cincinnati history and locations were perfectly interspersed in this tour! The tickets also included the Reds Hall of Fame and History Museum. We all enjoyed a visit to this museum prior to the Reds game. We saw Dean the following day on Fountain Square. He was very friendly and personable. Thank you for a very memorable expreience.

Our guide, Mike, clearly... - Our guide, Mike, clearly enjoys what he is doing, which makes the experience that much better. This was part of a birthday weekend for my husband, the bigger (by far) baseball fan of the two of us, but - I found it to be interesting as well! Mike mixes baseball history with a good bit of Cincinnati history too! Do know you'll be walking a decent amount.

Hot History - Our Tour guide Michael was friendly, helpful and informative. The tour lasted right at and hour and a half on a scorching july day. Michael was attentive to the groups need for shade. He provided an informative history of the events leading to the scandal. The tour stops at several historic buildings-some of which are well past their former glory. My only suggestion would be that the tour guide should have some laminated photos of how the buildings once looked in their heyday. Definitely recommend this tour for true baseball buffs but probably not for families with younger kids as they will not be entertained.

More opinions than facts - We had high hopes for this tour as we are White Sox fans in town to watch the reds vs the braves baseball game, hitting park #27/30 with our soon to be 12 year old. Sadly it missed the mark. The stories were hard to follow and were based largely in opinions vs facts. We would have gotten more out of a podcast on our drive from Chicago than we did from this tour - it’s a skip for me. We did enjoy the free pass to the hall of fame museum that came with the tour ticket.
