We had a small group (6 including the tour guide Kane). Kane was very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable about the history, and he made sure of our safety while we were touring the city. It was an informative and fun tour of Pittsburgh. I don't think we need to be physically fit or need special skills required for this bike tour, but there were some sections of the inclines (just FYI). It was a great (and fun) way to explore the city, and I absolutely loved it. I highly recommend this tour!PeggyRobinson100

We had a great time on the tour with our tour guide Kane. The tour went through the best spots in the city. We recommend to arrive at spring time when it's not to hot or cold to bike and flowers are blooming.

Great time. We stumbled on the location, it is out of the way, while wandering around Pittsburgh. The Bicycle tour was well worthwhile. I don't recall the price but whatever it was is worth the money. It was a relaxed, informative and very fun tour of central Pittsburgh showing us places we would never know not being locals. I loved it and will do it gain in a heartbeat. No special skill required other than being able to ride a bike. BTW, the bicycles used are top of the line. If you're in Pittsburgh, do it.
