I wouldn't want anyone visiting Pittsburgh to miss this opportunity. While in the city for a wedding we signed up with the Best of the Burgh for a walking tour. Our guide, Corey, was delightful. Her knowledge of the city and dramatic presentation of the important events in the city's history such as the Immaculate Reception made for a great combination. It was like we already had friends in the city as Corey greeted so many locals on our walk.

Found Best of the Burgh through an internet search. Valentina and Corrie were both very helpful and extremely accommodating in arranging a tour for us outside normal hours on a cold and windy January evening. Corrie was a fantastic tour guide - lots of knowledge (former history teacher!) - and clearly has a passion both for history and her native Pittsburgh. She was very engaging and kept us all riveted throughout our hour+ time with her. I recommend doing this tour early on in a visit as not only does it provide a great overview of the city core, but Corrie highlighted lots of places I wouldn't have found on my own and wanted to go back to (thanks Dave at the William Penn Speak Easy!). If I'm back in Pittsburgh, I'm booking the movie-themed walk for sure. Thank you Corrie for your knowledge and hospitality!

Corrie was a great guide for our Tour the Burgh walking tour. Very knowledgeable and fun. Saw a ton of sites on and off the beaten path. Highly recommended!
