A great way to learn Pittsburgh history! - Allen was a great guide on a beautiful fall evening! My friend and I were looking to learn more of the spooky history of Pittsburgh and left with a lot of new facts to share when guests come to town. Highly recommend for locals or folks visiting.

Great Tour - We had Annie as our tour guide and she was awesome. The tour was great and had interesting stories of Pittsburgh History and a a ghost story at each stop. I also liked how she pointed out great places to tour or eat along the way. Definitely a great way to enjoy Pittsburgh and see some of the beautiful architecture the buildings have to offer.

Highly Recommend! Take the Tour Does Not Disappoint! - This was by far the best tour we have experienced! Alan was awesome very knowledgeable and informative! He interacts answers questions. Two hours felt like 30 mins so much interesting history about the city that we learned. If we didn’t take this tour our visit to Pittsburgh wouldn’t feel the same! We learned so much history this city has to offer!! The lingering presence that still remains in some of these buildings are mind blowing! My favorite story was about the Judge!! My fiancé favorite story was the “jailhouse diehard love story” that even was made into a movie!! Wow!! Seriously take the tour!

Pittsburgh history with a little ghost twist is a good explanation of this Black and Ghost walking tour. - We loved our guides personal story and we loved all the Frick references since my daughter just started working at the Frick Museum a month ago. It was great to learn of the different buildings and then the stories that went with each one. It was a nice little walk around Pittsburgh, not as long or far as I thought it would be. Its do-able !

Fun & Educational - Myrna was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, personable and was sincerely interested in interacting with us and having conversations. She asked and answered all questions with enthusiasm and passion. It was a great way to see and learn about the city with a fun secondary emphasis on the supernatural. We would've never known to visit some of the unique locations (and learn their history) had it not been for the tour. A memorable time, well spent!

Great historical tour! Just needs a little more ghost stories. - Our tour guide Allen was very knowledgeable on the history of Pittsburgh and was a good story teller. I just wish there were more ghost stories incorporated into the tour. Overall, it was a very interesting and informative tour and we really enjoyed it. We learned a great deal about Pittsburgh and got to see a lot of downtown. Also thanks to Allen for the food recommendations!
