The Queen City on the River

Where heritage meets harmony, Cincinnati invites students to explore a city rich in history, innovation, and artistic spirit. Set along the banks of the Ohio River, this Midwestern gem blends 19th-century charm with modern creativity, from historic Over-the-Rhine architecture and vibrant murals to world-class museums and performance halls. With a strong tradition of education, the arts, and civic pride, Cincinnati offers an inspiring setting for learning, performing, and connecting.

Customize your trip to enhance the goals of your program:

Educational

Cincinnati’s mix of history and innovation makes it an ideal classroom. Students can explore STEM learning at the Cincinnati Museum Center, dive into history at the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, or discover ecological science at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden, one of the nation’s oldest. Every stop encourages curiosity, critical thinking, and appreciation for how innovation has shaped the region.

TRiO Educational Programs

Cincinnati’s story of resilience and progress aligns perfectly with TRIO’s mission of access and opportunity. Visit the University of Cincinnati or Xavier University for college readiness sessions, explore the Freedom Center to reflect on social justice and leadership, and engage in discussions about community growth and higher education pathways. Each experience fosters empowerment and academic confidence.

History & Heritage

Discover a city shaped by westward expansion, industry, and innovation along the Ohio River. Visit historic neighborhoods, riverfront sites, and museums that highlight Cincinnati’s role in American growth and culture. Programs can be customized with interactive museum tours, heritage walks, and curriculum-connected learning experiences.

Carl, 8th Grade Teacher

Gerber Tours is one of the best companies with which I have ever done business! I take my students on an 8th grade trip to Washington DC each year. They are totally dependable and trustworthy and have always delivered on their promises. I have taken our school to the East Coast with Gerber for 42 years and have never been disappointed. I highly recommend Gerber Tours for all you need in group student travel.

Gail, 6th Grade Teacher

For many years, our school district has worked with Gerber Tours to plan and take approximately 90 rising 6th graders to Washington, D.C. I highly recommend Gerber Tours.

Morgan, 12th Grade Teacher

We use Gerber for our senior trip every year and are always satisfied with the tour and tour guides. Mary Werther is a joy to work with. We also LOVE Byron B. in NYC!  We love that we can tailor the tour to our needs and find new and interesting things to see/do. We also love the price and the great deals you can get us. Thank you again for another great senior trip!
