The "Best of the Burgh Walking Tour" offers an exceptional way to uncover the hidden gems and fascinating stories that make this city unique. Ken, the tour guide, was terrific. I joined this trip on 8/13/23, there were only two persons on the tour, but Ken did a fantastic job leading the time just for two people. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a long-time resident, this tour provides a fresh perspective and a deeper connection to Pittsburgh's past, present, and future. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for an enriching and captivating exploration of the Steel City. Ken, thank you for the gift, pin, you gave us at the end of the tour!

My wife and I do a 3 week road trip in USA every year, as part of this I always do historical walking tours wherever possible. Pittsburgh was a city I knew very little about, that was all about to change. Ken was our guide and for the next 21/2 hours he explained the history of Pittsburgh it’s buildings and people. Ken’s knowledge on Pittsburgh was amazing, not only did we see the outside of the iconic buildings but Ken went one step further and took us inside as well. The interiors were breathtaking. I couldn’t recommend this walking tour highly enough.
