The well-researched and entertaining downtown tour we took with native "Yinzer" guide Corrie brightened a dreary rainy day (we learned Pittsburgh has a lot of those!). She knows her city inside and out and enjoys sharing its history and high points. This is a great activity to help first-time visitors to get their bearings and gain a greater appreciation for a sometimes-underrated American city. And the Steelers were only mentioned occasionally! I highly recommend this walking tour for anyone wishing to learn more about or get introduced to the quirky story of PIttsburgh and its rags-to-riches start.

The guide did a great job providing a tour that worked for people with a variety of interests. Really enjoyed the mix of history, art, architecture, business, food, and sports. Also liked the thoughtful combination of exterior and interior as we threaded through buildings as well as local streets. Note that the email confirmation provides a parking recommendation, and the garage they recommend has spots to charge an EV close to the entrance that were not ICE'd!

Mel at the booking agency and Corey our tour guides were class acts and absolute dolls! She is a history teacher and an attorney in the city. Not only does she exude great pride in her city but she went to law school at the University of Pitt. On this tour you learn a lot about the philanthropists who gave so much to build this city, the Carnegie-Melon and U Pitt Campuses, and the History of Forbes Field. I learned that Pitt isn't just a blue collar steel town but rather a city that is renown for their cutting-edge medical research and surgical innovations.
