Marissa is an excellent guide for the city of Pittsburgh. As a lifelong resident, she is very knowledgeable about the area. Her presentation style is fun and compelling. The tour is a great introduction to the history and layout of the downtown Pittsburg area, and it was a perfect tour to start our first trip to the city. The walking is easy, and there are many stops for sitting while Marissa shares stories about the rich and powerful men who created lasting legacies in Pittsburgh. We highly recommend this tour!

Ken was spectacular. We went during the week so we truly had our own tour guide of Pittsburgh. So great and then we had a terrific lunch at Market square. Easy way to get 10,000 steps and see all Pittsburgh has to offer.
