Pittsburgh Tour - Great tour, with a lot of history told in a very engaging way. We made several indoor stops which allowed us to warm up a bit and see the interior of some beautiful old buildings!

Great Pittsburgh walking tour - It was a wonderful tour walking around the city of Pittsburgh! With teenage children, we learned so much about the city, its history, architecture, but also interesting facts and its future prospects. It was a fantastic tour of the city! Our kids were happy as well. Our guide was Ken. He is very knowledgeable, extremely kind, and also attentive to all of us so that we were comfortable despite the city being very cold. We will return and take other guided tours of this city with Ken and this very well-run organization. If you have any special needs or interests, they will do everything they can to accommodate them.

Great tour to know the history of Pittsburgh - The tour was amazing. Covered the history of Pittsburgh, and key people that shaped the city. The tour was outdoors, as well as indoors that we enter some buildings. Ken as a guide amazing! Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and making sure the group stayed together.

Money Well Spent - A most informative walking tour. This guy knows his stuff and it shows. What amazed me is that he has only been doing it for three years and yet it comes off as very polished. Even if you live in Pittsburgh you will be amazed at the info you DO NOT know. Well worth the money spent. Do yourself a favor and spend a couple of hours with this guy.

Great Guide, Great City - Took the Best of the Burgh walking tour--Ken was a wonderful guide. Full of information and pride as a native son of Pittsburgh. It was late November, and a Ken made sure we went inside and sat down sometimes. I was traveling by myself and he fostered a real nice camaraderie as a group. Next time I am in Pittsburgh I would be happy to try another tour.

Nest walking tour EVER! - Ken was the best tour guide I’ve ever had. He was incredibly knowledgeable, articulate and friendly. He encouraged questions and interactions among the participants.
He also paced the tour well, incorporating rest stops in lovely locations.
This is a “must do” Pittsburgh experience. Ask for Ken!
