Ken, our guide, is a native of Pittsburgh and shared his extensive knowledge of the history and architecture in a delightful, sometimes humorous, and engaging manner. Loved seeing the gorgeous interiors of some of the historic buildings, including the US Trust building and the William Penn Hotel. Not a strenuous tour at all (for us seniors) and worth the time.

I was looking for something to do by myself while my husband was at a conference. This was a great pick! Ken was very informative and had lots of insight on the history of Pittsburgh. I enjoyed being able to get some exercise while taking in the sights!

We had never been to Pittsburgh before and our tour guide did an excellent job of not only giving us the layout but also the history of the city. He made the city feel familiar and by the end of the tour my husband and I couldn’t wait to keep exploring.
