One of the first things I do when arriving in a new city is take a walking tour, and Dave gave us a phenomenal tour. His enthusiasm for Pittsburgh was evident as he told us countless stories and rattled off historical dates and took us through gorgeous old buildings as he expertly led us around. In fact, we had arrived early for the tour and Dave suggested we take a brief stroll to the waterfront via a specific route; it turned out to be a hidden gem and so memorable! Highly recommend.

We love hearing such an enthusiastic and happy review! We are so glad taking the walking tour was an excellent intro to the Burgh and that Dave not only gave you great advice pre-walk that he also gave a top-tier tour. Thanks again for letting us know and sharing with others thinking of taking our tours! --Carye, Tour Manager
