My mother came to town for her first visit since we moved to Cleveland and I chose the downtown highlights tour based on the excellent reviews of Scott's tours, and he did not disappoint! He was friendly and hospitable and deeply knowledgeable. He presented the information in a way that was engaging and informative and I learned a ton about my new city. Would highly recommend!

This is everything you want in a walking tour: History, popular and well-know sites, references to movies filmed on location (including A Christmas Story and the Avengers films, and so many highlights. Even recommendations about things nearby. The 2 hours in the tour was just right, and Scott was super-knowledgeable and personable. It didn't even feel like two hours passed. So well worth taking this tour! Scott told me about a huge Superman exhibit at the Library (that he pointed out) and I never would have known about it- I went after the tour and it was such a great highlight!

Entertaining and enlightening tour, with plenty of history and architectural highlights. Even native Clevelanders will be surprised by what they learn, and outsiders will be astonished with some of Cleveland's contributions. Don't miss the inside of the soldiers and sailors monument.
