Carol was a very knowledgeable and gracious guide, very eager to accommodate everyone. I failed to alert her ahead of time that two of our group were gluten-free but she made the best of it and offered them alternatives on the fly where possible. Some of us were out of towners and some were born & raised in Cleveland but the tour appealed to everyone with lots of insider information about the history of the market and the individual vendors that you would not have access to knowing if touring on your own. we would have liked a map of the market or a listing of the vendors that we visited so that we could find them easily after the tour to return and make purchases from them.

Carol did a great job navigating the market on a busy holiday Friday. We had a wide range of tastings ....all superb. The vendors were gracious and generous with their samples. Only change I'd make would be to get business cards from where we sampled. After the tour we went back and made several purchases.

Great tour with Carol in late August. Fun to hear a little history of the building and market. Loved almost all of the food stops along the way - the jerky was a revelation! Also nice that it was less overwhelming than some other markets (Reading Terminal or Pike Place) in big cities. A good way to see more of Cleveland than the downtown areas. Great Lakes Brewing is right next door too if you're into beer.

Our guide told us about the history of the area, the building, and the Westside Market. She took us into the building, introduced us to a number of vendors, informed about the food they sell, and gave us samples to taste.

We enjoyed our tour led by Carol. She shared a lot of history and her knowledge and passion for food. There were a lot of samples from many of the local markets vendors. Come with an appetite and willingness to try all the treats that this market has to offer.

I can’t imagine being charged to walk through the West Side Market. Take the advice of a lifetime Cleveland resident. Skip the unnecessary tour guide.

This is on the top list of things to do but isn’t really for tourists. We are used to Reading terminal market in Philadelphia and thought there would be more prepared food items and a place to sit and eat. There is a small restaurant inside the market and if you live in the area many fresh food stands to pick up for home. Would not recommend if you are staying in a hotel m

Considering all of the sports events and concerts we have gone to in Cleveland over the last 25 years I don't know how we never visited this gem. Taking the Food Tour of West Side Market was priceless. It was a great experience taking the tour with a guide that knows the ins and outs. You can not go wrong. Great vendors with something for everyone. Whether it is the sweets, pasta, breads, cheese or Pierogies they have it all! This is a must do for everyone~

The tour guide never showed up. I called after waiting 10 minutes and was told that the trip was cancelled and that an email had been sent the previous week and a message had been left on my phone. Never of these had occurred. In addition, I was charged for the trip the previous day. So why charge me if you already knew the trip had been cancelled. I have never had such an experience in scheduling an event. Will think twice before I ever do it again!

The food we tasted was very good and the experience was great. Especially after we finally found our guide! The directions to meet the guide were not accurate. It would have been nice to have tasted a lot more food for what we paid for though.
