In-Person Summer Season Tours return

June 1 - Sept 30, 2025

Our tour guides blend deep local knowledge, skill and a lot of heart to make your tour an enriching, entertaining and fun experience.  Along your walk, you’ll meet up with historical Clevelanders, portrayed by actors and actresses, who share their story and their role and impact in shaping our city.  All tours are 90 minutes except for Friday’s 45-minute lunchtime tour. 

 

Self-Guided Tours

Perfect for those that want to experience tours independently, at a time that works best for them, a selection of FREE Self-Guided tours are available 365 days a year, 24/7.  Using GPS on your mobile device, you can navigate the route, pausing at designated stops and listening to the tour guide share information.  Historical Clevelanders’ stories are still available via companion videos provided. Allow 45-60 minutes to enjoy a self-guided tour.
