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

On this tour, you'll see all the key sites and colorful areas of Cleveland. In the last 50 years, this city has made a successful transition from blue collar to a white collar city. The urban renewal continues, neighborhood by neighborhood. Civic pride is at its peak too, and I can show you why. I've been an enthusiastic ambassador for our city for over 25 years! Our amenities are definitely above average for a mid-sized city. We have the second largest performing arts center in the country, the best orchestra in the US, an award-winning parks system and the globally-renowned Cleveland Clinic. Cleveland boasts all the major sports teams, and let's not forget the one-and-only Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! For foodies, our Public Food Market, opened in 1912, rivals any in the country! I am well-versed in the restaurant scene and could recommend the perfect place for you. A view of the water, a hip neighborhood or a romantic spot? No problem! Customizable itinerary:
