Went on the sunset walking tour Saturday 6/26/21 with tour guide Stephanie. It was such a great freaking time! I just moved to Pittsburgh 6 months ago and this was my first time really exploring downtown and I learned so much about the city and the history. Walked by so many fabulous restaurants and bars that I've added to my list to explore later. Stephanie had such a welcoming and upbeat personality and you could tell she loves the city and to share her knowledge with others. Had a chance to meet one of the owners, Val before the tour started and she was so lovely! I 100% recommend this tour and would be interested in going on a bike tour too!

We have lived in the area for a long time and come to the city often, but we learned a lot of historical information about the city and its founders from our tour guide, Rachel. She was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and we enjoyed the tour a lot. The pace was nice, with lots of stops to discuss background about what we were seeing. There were 10 of us so the group size was small enough to have plenty of opportunities to ask questions. Whether you are a visitor or a local resident, this is a worthwhile thing to do.

What a treat to take this Walk the Burgh tour today with Kane. His knowledge of Pittsburg’ s history and how he blended the events with the city’s architecture was fascinating. He answered our numerous questions with patience. We learned so much about the culture, the steel industry snd the famous citizens. Kane helped us to see Pittsburg in a new way. We’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn about Pittsburg from a different perspective. The folks at Walk the Burgh were most accommodating and welcoming. Val was there to greet us this morning and gave us advice on some bike tires and provided us with maps of popular bike routes in the area. I also appreciated the opportunity to reschedule our walk due to the heat last week. Thanks to David (?) for calling me personally to make the switch. We’ll definitely send folks from New Hampshire to your cool city! Great customer service. Thank you Roxanne and Brian Portsmouth No
