What people say

Susan  was a delight, a Cleveland native who loves her city and loves sharing it with others. The food was delicious and PLENTIFUL. I would highly recommend this tour and hope that she offers others in the future. We have been on others from other companies, but would look forward to doing a repeat of places with Susan as our leader!

I spent a delightful afternoon touring restaurants, bars and culinary shops in Ohio City with Susan from Relish Cleveland Tours! Her knowledge of this neighborhood was impressive.

Mp McGinley

My wife, daughter and I have been on food tours in 4 different cities and this one was one of the best. Susan did an excellent job keeping things interesting with a lot of facts and history to go along with the food.
