Asian Heritage Tour - Take a Hike Summer Series tour

TAKE A HIKE® offers FREE, in-person walking tours of unique and historic neighborhoods in Cleveland!

About the Tour: Asian-Pacific heritage is incredibly diverse, encompassing more than 50 regions. While Asian and Pacific Islander cultures each have their own distinct traditions, values, and languages, they also share common threads—particularly a strong emphasis on family and community.

Cleveland’s AsiaTown reflects this vibrant diversity while remaining a close-knit, unified neighborhood. One of the best ways to experience it is through the flavors and stories of its locally owned restaurants.

This guided tour invites you to explore the unique cultural identities that shape AsiaTown. Along the way, we’ll visit five local establishments—each representing a different region: Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai, and Korean. At each stop, you’ll enjoy a small tasting that captures the essence of that culture. It’s a sensory journey through food, narrative, and community that highlights what makes each tradition distinct and special.

Advance ticket reservations are required for this tour.

Parking is available at Asia Plaza where the tour meets up.
