Correy is an excellent guide. In these trying times of the pandemic I felt more comfortable being outside than inside & this company takes social distancing seriously. Correy is informative, engaging, & funny. We got a very nice tour of the downtown area with a fun explanation of the history & current state of the city. Correy went over the time (2hrs) to cover the areas she had promised to cover. We walked at a very manageable pace and took breaks at some of the important sites. We really enjoyed it & highly recommend it!!

Had a wonderful late morning and early afternoon touring the downtown area with Rachel and another gentlemen who's name I've forgotten. Both of them were very engaging and had obvious enthusiasm for their tour. We saw great architecture, learned a lot of interesting things and plan on doing the bike tour in the spring. My wife, daughter, and I were real tired at the end, but it was the good kind of tired that comes from fresh air and exercise. I would highly recommend this tour.

Our guide, Rachel, was outstanding. She was knowledgeable, friendly, good to be with. Our group was only three people, but that didn't affect the quality of the tour whatsoever. The two-and-a-half-hour tour was comprehensive and engaging from beginning to end. Be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes as the tour takes in a large slice of downtown Pittsburgh. Looking at the ratings left by others who have taken this tour, it's clear that participants held Rachel in high regard, and with good reason. There's a lot of history (and some folklore) to be learned on this most worthwhile tour.
