Pitt walk - Kane was very knowledgeable and a friendly host. The number of preserved buildings from the 1930s in the downtown area was very impressive and the stories associated them was very informative

Stellar, Unique Beer Tour in Pittsburgh - We recently experienced the Walk the Burgh history and brewery tour and it was pretty groovy. The hosts, Dan and Diane, were passionate and knowledgeable, blending history with insights into the steel city's brewing scene. The walking pace was just right, allowing us to soak in the sights while enjoying local brews at each stop. Some of the stops even have FOOD trucks which was a solid bonus! Thanks to the hosts for a memorable time! 🍻

Great Tour of Pittsburgh!! - Ken was a wonderful tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and willing to answer questions. His love of Pittsburgh was obvious. And, because we were a small group who wanted to learn more, Ken graciously extended the tour for an additional 30 minutes.

Great guide! - Our guide Ken really knew his stuff. Incredibly personable, super willing to take on an abundance of nerdy questions. Even brought us into some 'extra' buildings based on interest expressed by some guests. Really well done walk.

Broad look at Pittsburgh - The background on the life of millionaires who profited at the expense of labor and the environment of Pittsburgh. Our guide was knowledgeable and patient. He did not go into details about the trends that caused Pittsburgh’s economic difficulties.
