Being an ardent explorer myself, I greatly enjoy helping others discover new places. I have been an ambassador for Cleveland for over 25 years, serving as an official guide for executives being recruited to the region. My clients come from all over the country and the world. I know this city intimately! I will show you the must-see tourist spots, historical sites, architectural gems, cultural institutions, hip neighborhoods, entertainment districts and dining destinations. I know alleys, back roads and hidden spots. . . I have always customized itineraries depending on a client's interests and needs, and I will happily do that for you. Flexibility is my hallmark! A change in plans, a stop for a photo-op, a snack or pop into a shop - no problem! Originally from NYC, my family moved to Brussels, Belgium when I was 10 - an experience that ignited my passion to see the world. Later, I studied in Paris, France at the Alliance Française. After college, I was able to fulfill my dream of traveling by traversing the globe as a Pan Am flight attendant! My husband's career took us to Dallas, Texas and Richmond, Virginia, although we've been in Cleveland for 30 years now. This is where we raised our daughter, whom we adopted from China. I was a longtime local journalist/photographer and have written extensively about the city. I also work part-time at an art gallery. I like to keep busy! I am civically involved, an active volunteer, a lover of the arts and movies and an architectural buff! Permit me to share my knowledge of the area with you. My goal is to spread my enthusiasm for Cleveland to you! We'll have fun! * Professional Guide for over 25 years * BA in Journalism/PR * Cleveland Civic Leadership Institute 2015 No restrictions

Overview of your Cleveland tour
This tour will provide a comprehensive overview of Cleveland, with several stops at notable sites. This city's history is inextricably linked with its cultural life. From approx. 1870-1930 Cleveland was the 5th wealthiest city in the US. Oil, steel and other industries were burgeoning. Philanthropically-minded industrialists endowed our great institutions, resulting in top-notch museums, the Cleveland Orchestra (#1 in the nation), universities, foundations, parks... The Cleveland Museum of Art is the 4th wealthiest art museum in the US. As an arts lover, I will gladly show you some of its greatest gems (closed Mon). Architecture aficionados will see both historical and modern buildings, created by world-renowned architects such as IM Pei, Sir Norman Foster, Frank Gehry and others. I've been showcasing Cleveland to newcomers for over 25 years. Allow me to share my knowledge, experience and enthusiasm with you! Customizable itinerary:
