I really enjoyed the Downtown Highlights walking tour with Scott. I try to take a similar type of walking tour in every city that I visit, and this tour was one of the best I've ever taken. Scott was extremely knowledgeable about Cleveland's history, showed us the most interesting buildings located downtown, and had a ton of fun facts that made the tour fun and entertaining. This tour is well worth the price of admission, and I would recommend it to any people visiting Cleveland for the first time.

This was a fantastic highlight of our stay in Cleveland. I only wish we would have scheduled it on our first day in the city. Scott was a great tour guide. He pointed out several sites that we had simply walked by unnoticed. Scott was very knowledgeable and entertaining, our 21 year old was engaged too. Would love to re-visit this tour when the historical buildings are open for visitors (this option was unavailable due to Covid restrictions) I highly recommend this walking tour.

We were amazed at how much Scott enlightened us. We would never have had the deep appreciation for Cleveland’s history if we simply drove through the city. Anyone visiting should take this tour. This tour with Scott is a must do.
