A walking tour in Pittsburgh - On July 29, Ken was our tour guide in Pittsburgh. Great tour guides are rear and Ken is of them. He loves Pittsburgh and is passionate about his job. The tour was very engaging, it covered the history, culture, architecture and economy of the city. We walked through many famous neighborhoods and went inside the buildings with the most stunning interiors and no less interesting histories. I could not help but notice that some locals also tried to listen to Ken’s narrative. We would highly recommended this tour to all who would like to learn about Pittsburgh.

Enjoyable Walk! - Great way to spend a summer day in Pittsburgh! Our walking tour started promptly at 11. (Restroom was available at check in.) Alan, our guide was so informative, knew where to find shade on a hot day as he shared historical and architectural stories. We kept moving at a nice pace, stepped inside a few lobbies to view amazing interiors, and ended at Market Square. Several lunch options nearby. Highly recommend!

Dave is the man! - Our guide Dave was great and handled the rain so well we hardly noticed. His history talks were great and he brought a bag of ponchos so when is started raining it was no big deal. Fantastic tour, highly recommend.

Great Introduction to a Great City! - We took this walking tour as soon as we arrived into Pittsburgh and it was the best introduction to the city. Our tour guide, Dave, did a great job explaining all the history and eccentricities of the city he obviously loves. He did a good job involving the participants. It was an easy walk but it was warm day and I was glad that I brought a bottle of water. The instructions in the reservation about where to park in a nearby garage were helpful and easy to follow. I would highly recommend this unique tour.

Tour well worth the time and money - I highly recommend this tour. Our tour guide, Ken, is personable, entertaining, and extremely well versed in this wonderful city and the sometimes-less-than-wonderful people who made it. The buildings and places Ken discussed were well-chosen, and interesting from various perspectives, such as architectural or historical. This tour provides a solid foundation for better appreciating this town, its remarkable history, and all it still offers to visitors and residents even today.

I had a great time! - I learned a lot about the city during this tour! Ken was very welcoming at all times and open to questions, I liked that he included comments/gossip from past tour participants into the narrative. Easy pace for senior participants, bathroom stops if required along parts of route discount codes at the end to get treat from local businesses! Definitely recommended!
