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

I would like to give you a bit of the lay-of-the-land regarding Cleveland. Centrally located, Chicago, Toronto and Washington DC are just a 6 hour drive away. Cleveland is situated on Lake Erie, part of the Great Lakes, one of the largest bodies of fresh water in the world. Along with a scenic lakefront, the city is bisected by the Cuyahoga River, a major shipping channel that features a vibrant entertainment district along its banks and many miles of bike paths. Needless to say, water sports, boating, sailing, rowing and fishing are very popular. This may be a cursory tour, yet a thorough overview of Cleveland, nonetheless! I will show you what the city is all about: three professional sports teams, industry, banking, entertainment districts, food and Rock 'n Roll (that's right, the phrase was coined here!) You'll see the old and historic - and the new and cutting edge. I'll show you green space and an urban beach. We'll just be scratching the surface, and you'll want to come back!
Karolina gave us a fantastic overview of this beautiful city Cleveland! Her information was clear and contained important facts about the history & growth of this hidden gem. We plan to return trip to visit Cleveland because her tour made you fall in love with the city. She is professional and personable. Excellent tour!
we learned things that i would have skipped over. took us to a food market that was amazing. i would have skipped it if i had been touting on my own
Excellent tour / guide. Would book with her again for additional tours next time we're in Cleveland.
Karolina exceeded all of our expectations for this tour. She was prompt, professional and made us feel instantly comfortable. Karolina knows the city of Cleveland like the back of her hand. She answered all of our questions and allowed us to pop out of the van for photo ops. She imparted her knowledge about the history of Cleveland, as well as the current happenings around town, all while driving around town. Karolina offered tips on restaurants, museums, festivals, etc. We highly recommend this tour and specifically this tour guide.
This wonderful lady is an OUTSTANDING tour guide. Her Cleveland knowledge-base is huge! We will remember our time she spent taking us around this amazing city forever. If you want to experience the city to the max, this person is your answer! Sincerely, Robert/Debbie Breedlove Stillwater, OK
