When other tour companies were closed, Walk the Burgh Tours was able to provide this learning experience to many guests wanting to learn more about Pittsburgh. We were fortunate to come to Pittsburgh during our sixth year anniversary and reserve a spot for their walking tour. Even prior to our arrival, Valentina was able to provide excellent customer service, quick responses to inquiries and really went above and beyond to make that we all the information that we needed. Corrie was our designated tour guide and she is definitely a living encyclopedia. Her love for her history clearly shows as we learned so much from her for the period of time we spent in the walking tour. All safety precautions were considered prior and during the walking tour experience, so we both felt more than safe doing this tour outdoors. If you really want to truly connect to this wonderful city, I would highly recommend booking a tour with Walk the Burgh Tours directly. We highly recommend it and will be taking part of the next tours available through their website.

Tory was a great guide. We have lived here for most of our lives and still learned a ton. She does a great job of talking about the history of the steel industry and how it formed our awesome city.

This was our favorite part of the visit to Pittsburgh. Our guide, Corrie, provided an in depth, intimate view of Pittsburgh with all of its nuances. She took us through the evolution of the city from the French-Indian war to the rise of the steel industry with its robber barons to the adoption of the black and gold (sorry Corrie, still not a convert!) to the modern day reinvention of the city as, in part, a major regional medical hub. There were also so many stops not listed on the itinerary such as the William Penn hotel and its speakeasy. We also stopped at many squares with interesting histories and even their farmer's market which was in session the day we toured. I can't recommend this tour enough. I am sure that any guide would be great, but if you are fortunate enough to have Corrie, you have hit a home run, Pittsburgh style.
