How could I be a tourist in the city I have lived in for more than 20 years. The Cleveland Christmas walking tour happened to be very cool and knowledgeable. I have learned the history of some of downtown's most famous department stores and their many Christmas traditions, interesting facts about Mr. Jingeling and the Sterling-Lindner Christmas tree. I’m glad I experienced downtown all decorated for the holidays this way!

Our group really enjoy this nostalgic tour that put us in front of so many of the places we remember as kids. Dress warm and enjoy the lights and decor of downtown. Going into these places is not possible but Scott paints a pretty good picture with words of what used to be Christmas in Cleveland.
