1. Tours of Cleveland

Why the hype: Looking for a way to get outside, get some exercise and see the city? Tours of Cleveland offers walking tours of Downtown CLE that covers all the highlights, fun facts and must-knows within two hours. Wear comfy shoes as the tour makes its way on foot through Public Square, down to The Arcade and on to Playhouse Square.

What to expect: Tour-goers are required to wear a mask throughout the tour. If you do not have a mask, Tours of Cleveland can provide one free of charge. Tour group sizes are also limited to allow for social distancing. Remember to dress for the weather as the show goes on rain or shine.

How to book: All tours require a reservation. You can book your individual reservations now or schedule a private group tour by calling 216.318.3865 or emailing toursofcleveland@gmail.com to talk specifics.

2. JKL TOURS

Why the hype: JKL Tours goes beyond Downtown Cleveland with trips to Amish Country and Put-in-Bay, outings to theatrical performances and concerts and mystery trips to little-known Cleveland-area gems. You can explore these areas beyond The Land or stay local with weekly tours within the city.

JKL specializes in trips for seniors, but their tours are open to all ages. If you have any questions, drop them at line at 440.942.5350 and they’ll steer you in the right direction.

What to expect: In addition to being CLEAN COMMITTED, JKL Tours uses Barons Bus deluxe motor coaches that seat 56 people, but they are only taking a maximum of 27 guests so everyone has their own assigned seat with extra space. Their motor coaches have an air filtration system with UV light treatment that circulates fresh air inside the cabin every 10 minutes.

Before entering the motor coach, JKL Tours takes the temperature of each guest with touchless thermometers and requires passengers to wear masks. They also have social distancing guidelines in place and encourage guests to be aware of their spacing while shopping and sightseeing.

How to book: You can find a list of JKL Tours’ scheduled events on their website, including a Mystery Trip, Hidden Cleveland trips, a wine tasting trip to the Mansfield area and more trips to Amish Country with brand new itineraries. Prices vary depending on the trip. To make your reservation, call 440.942.5350 or email jkltours@aol.com.

3. SEE CLE

Why the hype: SEE CLE is a family-owned business that offers two-hour guided tours of various historical, cultural and entertainment sites throughout the city as well as themed Cleveland experiences and group tours. Above all, they specialize in personalizing the tour to your interests and available time.

What to expect: SEE CLE is a CLEAN COMMITTED business taking extra precautions for their guests’ health. They offer spacious, nine-person passenger vans that are sanitized before every tour and have modified the tour stops to include more open spaces for better social distancing.

SEE CLE has also gotten creative with their tours when needed, offering a new “Follow the Guide” option. Instead of riding through Cleveland in the SEE CLE vehicles, guests are welcome to drive their own vehicles, following a tour guide SUV through the city and getting the full tour via cell phone.

How to book: You can view available tours here, which are available on a case-by-case basis. When you’re ready to book, just fill out the form on this page. The SEE CLE team is standing by to answer any questions you have at 216.287.0807.
