Excellent tour to get to know Pittsburgh and appreciate the history and architecture of downtown. Corrie was a fantastic guide and her enthusiasm for her native city is obvious. My husband grew up in the Pittsburgh suburbs and even he learned a lot on this tour. I would highly recommend!

Kane, our guide, was friendly and knowledgeable. I missed the tour on my reservation day. Valentina was kind to let me join the next day without charging me again.
