The 10 Best Private Tours in Ohio, United States

April 30, 2022 Fernanda Pittenger

If you are looking for an active place to stay with world-class attractions, Ohio’s major cities can satisfy any vacation desire. Each offers its own distinct flavor of fun, from professional sports – Bengals (Cincinnati), Cavaliers (Cleveland) and Indians (Cleveland again) – to museums, outdoor activities and more. One of the most famous is the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. If football is your thing, don’t miss the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton. For the science-minded, visit the meat eaters at the Carnivore Conservation Center in the Wilds near Cambridge, dedicated to the breeding and scientific study of endangered mid-sized carnivores. Kids will also love Planet Snoopy in Sandusky or the Columbus Zoo’s Zoombezi Bay Waterpark and Jack’s Landing rides.

We saw 2 Bald Eagles! Also loved Dawn's knowledge of the Island! We had an amazing time on the Bike tour last year, so this year we opted for a kayak tour. With a launch from the East side of the island we were able to discover an area we had not yet explored. The rock beach at Scheele Preserve was beautiful and again - the eagles! Wow! Dawn is an amazing tour guide and we will surely do another tour next year!
