I lived in Pittsburgh for many years before moving to NYC, so I wasn't expecting to learn many new things I hadn't heard before in this tour… I was wrong. Our wonderful guide Pam gave us a whole new appreciation for Pittsburgh's architecture, along with the perfect mix of historic information about the city and juicy details about the lives of the industrialists who shaped that history (Carnegie, Frick, etc.). Pam was fun, energetic, knowledgeable and willing to customize the tour based on the interests of the attendees. The duration and walking distance were also spot on, with everyone fully engaged from beginning to end. This is a wonderful tour for visitors. But is also a marvelous way for locals to spend an afternoon with friends, before heading back to the speakeasy at the Omni William Penn - which is a very interesting part of the tour! Highly recommended for everyone!!

I wouldn't want anyone visiting Pittsburgh to miss this opportunity. While in the city for a wedding we signed up with the Best of the Burgh for a walking tour. Our guide, Corey, was delightful. Her knowledge of the city and dramatic presentation of the important events in the city's history such as the Immaculate Reception made for a great combination. It was like we already had friends in the city as Corey greeted so many locals on our walk.
