It was informative and...

Great blend of history and ghost stories!
The tour was a nice blend of history and ghost stories. Jordan did a great job leading the group. His commentary was clear and well delivered, with a blend of facts and humor. Standing in the tunnels in complete darkness was an amazing experience. I didn’t seen any ghosts, but several members of the group felt a presence at times. And Jordan had some amazing pictures to share with the group at the end of the tour.

Very interesting and informative! The "Baconater" was an excellent guide. Catherine was very chatty with the dowsing rods last night! I wish i could have stayed down longer to check out tunnel #4

Why this scores 75
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Nightmare on Elm Street Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cincinnati.
How much does Nightmare on Elm Street Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $39 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cincinnati usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Nightmare on Elm Street Walking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cincinnati is not rushed.
Is Nightmare on Elm Street Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 83 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cincinnati, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Nightmare on Elm Street Walking Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Nightmare on Elm Street Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Nightmare on Elm Street Walking Tour?
+
Around 29 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cincinnati can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cincinnati and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Nightmare on Elm Street Walking Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cincinnati within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cincinnati?
+
Cincinnati tours cover Over-the-Rhine architecture and food, brewery heritage and lagering tunnels, Ohio River sightseeing cruises and Underground Railroad Freedom Center visits. On Outty we rank every Cincinnati experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hidden Brewery Caverns Tour in Cincinnati with Beer Tasting, Ultimate Queen City Underground Tour, Top 10 Sites + Bites of Cincinnati Tour with Riverside Food Tours. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cincinnati?
+
April to June and September to October. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cincinnati?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
