Guided Walking Tours of Historical Mount Adams

Ever wanted to learn more about Mount Adams, but didn’t have time to do the research? Schedule a guided walking tour of Cincinnati’s first suburb and our knowledgeable guides, all residents of Mount Adams, will give you the details. They can also help you decide where to eat and suggest places to sit with a glass of wine and watch the world go by.

Visit stately Holy Cross – Immaculata Church – location of the annual Good Friday Pilgrimage – and learn about three significant firsts on Mount Adams that will surprise you. Visit Rookwood Pottery, the Passionist Monastery, Cincinnati’s last horse drawn fire company, the city’s oldest Irish pub, an 1890s bowling alley, and the site of the Mount Adams Inclined Plane Railroad.

What was a former U. S. President doing in Mount Adams in 1843? Why isn’t tequila served at the City View Tavern, Mount Adam’s oldest saloon? We’ll tell you that and a lot more!

The tour takes about 2 hours, is a mile long, and includes some steps and one moderate hill. Comfortable clothes and walking shoes are recommended.
