Nice evening activity
Took 2 kids with me ages 10 & 13. Guide kept them engaged. As previous reviewers noted- a good balance of history sprinkled with spooky stories and some visuals to go along. The evening was beautiful and total walking 1.25 miles with lots of stopping in between.

Oct 2021 • Couples
Hannah was our tour guide. She was super friendly and very knowledgeable about the city. I highly recommend doing a tour of the city when going to get more information on the history of the city. We came for our honeymoon and it was a perfect day and addition to our trip. So happy to have found this on researching what to do within the city.

Fun evening tour
Sep 2022
We really had fun with our enthusiastic guide, Hannah. We especially liked the small size of the tour group. The portable PA system enabled us to hear Hannah stories above the noise and the din of the city.

They “sleighed” it
Our tour was mostly couples. I had wanted more ghost stories, but the tour was committed to sharing only reliable stories (and had photos to back it up). The guide was very cognizant of safety, whether looking out for vagrants or ensuring street crossings were successful. One of our party was a local and some of the stories were brand new to her. So this tour is good for locals as well as visiting folks. Recommend going early in your stay so you can pick places to see while you're in town.

Definitely worth the time and money!
Apr 2022
This 2 hour walking tour was really interesting and our guide Hannah made it super enjoyable. Her knowledge and warm personality made the time fly by. I have done these types of things in other places and it was fairly priced and worth every penny. Unfortunately we were leaving the next day or I would have checked out some of the places during the day. Next time in Pittsburgh my husband and I will definitely do another tour.

Ashley was amazing at everything with this tour! She was so personable and knowledgeable, I felt like I did the tour with someone I had known for years. She was charming and infectious, I did not want the tour to end. I learned more about the city of Pittsburgh as well, she even spoke of the architecture. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and so did my wife. Was a haunting good time! Would highly recommend!

Great Tour (Tips For Prospective Tourists)
Dec 2021 • Family
Christina was a very lovely tour guide! She had a great focus on stories that people could relate to and really envision instead of just blurting out facts and dates like one may fear. 70% history and 30% ghost stories is about the ratio I had taken from the experience. Take a tour on the first day of your trip as they give pointers on places to go that you don’t want to miss. If you’re going during cold weather, expect a good bit of walking outside so be sure to layer up as after a while my family started feeling a little numb in our fingers and toes. Ask questions as these tour guides are quite knowledgeable.

Superb.
Sep 2020
Corrie was knowledgeable,passionate and masterful in her subject matter.highly recommended.would love to do more tours with her,such as the whiskey tour. As an aside,when we visited the Heinz museum on Friday morning,there were only 2 other visitors in the building. I went to the men’s room on the second floor. It was empty and just been cleaned. As I was at the sink, several of the automatic toilets began to flush. Startled,I went to look,no one was there.On my honor!!!!!!

"Private tour" for group rate
Aug 2020
We have been on many tours in Gettysburg, New Orleans, and such but it is usually about 30 people with a guide. Now, due to the pandemic, they are limiting the tour to 6 people and we were the only group that night. As a result, our guide, Christine, basically gave us a private tour that lasted over two hours. She was outstanding and it was a joy to be able to walk around the city and see the sights. We didn't see any ghosts but that was fine; we had a great time seeing Pittsburgh with our "own" guide. Excellent job.
