I have been on several tours with Walk the Burgh Tours- the Discover Oakland Tour, Best of the Burgh Walking Tour (2x), the Holiday Lights Walking Tour, and the Black and Ghost Tour. All of these tours- and my tour guides (Corrie and Rachel)- were great! Corrie and Rachel are both so knowledgeable about the city, its history, and fun facts about the area. I have enjoyed every time I went on these tours, which is why I have returned multiple times with family and friends when they come to the area. They are also a great way to see downtown and other parts of Pittsburgh in a new light while getting in some exercise walking around. I would 10/10 recommend any of these tours to anyone visiting the city or from the area! I have learned something new each time.

or a good introduction to Pittsburgh book the Best of the Burgh (walking) Tour. Being interested in architecture and history, our guide Rachel spent two hours and two miles focusing on those topics.
During our tour, we stopped on different street corners to view historical landmarks and to admire the unique features of both new and older buildings.
We also went inside a few places for a peek at what made them special.
At the former United States Steel Tower, Rachel spent an extra few minutes discussing the steel columns on the outside of the building. (We also learned that during its weathering, rust dust was all over the streets around it)
Other buildings noted were those of the titans of industry that ran Pittsburgh and in some ways the country.

Kane's downtown history and architecture tour in February (windy and 40's) was great! My friend and I joined one other person and spent two hours walking around learning new interesting things about history, current goings-on, and stories from someone who is very enthusiastic about Pittsburg and about making sure we enjoyed it too. It was very conversational and considerate of our interests at the same time making sure we hit the highlights all along the way. Actually, this time of year turned out to be a good time to go. We dressed in layers and stayed warm with opportunities to go inside some places; without crowds of people or tree foliage, some views were much clearer than they might be at different times. Kane had some good recommendations for us to visit afterward, which we appreciated as well.

As first time visitors to Pittsburg, we thought this would be a good introduction, and we were right! Kane took us on a 2 hour walking tour of downtown and covered a great deal of its history and architecture. We particularly enjoyed going inside a couple of the buildings to enjoy the beautiful interiors. A great overview!

I enjoyed hearing about the architecture and the history of the various buildings we visited. Even though I have lived in the Pittsburgh area for the past fifty years, I learned a lot of new information. The tour guide was very enthusiastic and offered much in the way of information.

Paul did a great job! He was well paced and we covered a lot. Kept us moving and he talked when we could all hear him. His architecture background was very informative and blended with the history. Well satisfied. Paul, Thank you.

The Holiday Lights Tour was the PERFECT way to spend a winter evening. We saw some beautiful sights and learned lots of interesting things. Kane, our tour guide, was excellent! I had such a good time, I want to go back and do their Pittsburgh Ghost Tour.

My wife and I love going to Pittsburgh and this time we brought my parents for their first visit to the city. We knew that we could not walk around and tell them all that we learned on the fist visit so we decided to take them on the tour that we took the last time, no one was disappointed. If you have 2 hours and don't mind walking and listening this is the tour for you. Val the owner has set up a program that will engage and educate you while the tour guide ( this time we had Greg) is so easy to listen to and the history and stories will make it seem like it is only a 20 minute tour. We started at 11 AM and before we know it, we are wrapping up but we had walked and talked for well over 2 hours. Like I said this is the second time I have taken this same tour 5 months apart and it was a completely different feel and tour. My wife and I have already decided that when we come back to Pittsburgh we are definitely going to do another Walk the Burgh tour!

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.

On the theater to her, do you actually go inside the theaters? How much of the two walking to ours, downtown and the Hollywood theater tour, overlap? I am considering doing both Tuers but really only have time for one. Didn’t know how much overlap there was. Thanks!
Written October 25, 2018
Did not go in the theater. The tour was great, but all outside. We have done the haunted Pittsburgh tour to at night which was excellent.

We are coming to Pittsburgh Monday 5/28 and would be interested in a tour Monday morning. How long is the tour and does it only focus on downtown or does it also include Oakland?
Written May 20, 2018
Hi Sally,
Many thanks for your interest in joining a tour. And thanks so much, Mike, for being so fast to help Sally out :-)
Exactly, our tours are about 2 hours long. The "Best of the Burgh" Tour which goes through Downtown is a different tour than the "Discover Oakland Tour" as Oakland is about 3 miles away from Downtown. On May 28th we offer the "Best of the Burgh Tour" at 10.30am and a brand new tour, the "Hollywood East Tour" (Tour about movies filmed in Pittsburgh) at 4pm. Le us know if you would like us to make a reservation for you. You can also easily sign up on our website.
Thanks so much in advance. We can't wait to show you around :-)
