I am a lifelong Clevelander and have a passion for this great city and what is has to offer. I have traveled throughout Ohio the past 35 years for both business and recreational purposes and know it well. Let me help you discover why Cleveland is the best kept secret in the U. S. and how our cultural attractions, cuisine, and communities match up to other larger cities without the cost and congestion. I have hosted a number of visitors over the years as a volunteer for a number of organizations such as: Cleveland Council on World Affairs, Global Volunteers, Ronald McDonald House, and Destination Cleveland. My tours are designed to offer a more personal, informative, interactive, and relaxing tour of the Cleveland area. An SUV is used for transportation and can accomodate up to 4 passengers and easy pick-up and drop-off at any location. Short stops or a change in routes are no problem. While on our tour, you can visit some of the unique shop and eateries of Cleveland and take a few photos as well. I will show you why this is "Believeland. " I have been giving tours of Cleveland for the past 5 years as a volunteer for Ronald McDonald House, Cleveland Council of World Affairs, and Desination Cleveland. Tours are only in English.

Steve was so personable, knowledgeable and informative. My husband has been here for 86 years and still learned alot about his hometown. Thank you for a great time.

Steve was a fabulous ambassador for Cleveland. He was able to efficiently show us all of the key sites, neighborhoods, beauty, and features that make Cleveland what it is. But the highlight was his passion and enthusiasm - he was a joy to be with and spend time with as we explored the city.

This was my first excursion to Cleveland. After a bit of a hiccough, Steve proved himself to be a wonderful tour guide. The weather was not cooperating with wind and rain, but Steve and I forged ahead to see Cleveland and all of its majesty and architectural beauty. His wealth of knowledge was impressive, especially his perspective regarding the cultural, demographic and historical aspects of Cleveland. Steve even bought me cannoli from Little Italy to celebrate my birthday. It was very touching.

Steve was very knowledgeable and a fantastic guide. We experienced the many sights, the culture and the history of Cleveland without ever feeling rushed. As a history aficionado myself, it was great to have someone to talk to and learn about the stories and the people of this fine city. Steve made my daughter and I feel welcomed throughout the tour. I highly recommend Steve's tour to anyone visiting Cleveland.

Steve is a smart, happy professional who loves showing Cleveland to visitors. We spent three hours with him and enjoyed every minute of it. If you are looking for a personal guided tour, this is the guy to call. He went way beyond expectations in his knowledge of history, economics , arts, interesting neighborhoods from east to west and from the lake to the hills.
