PPG Place

A square that you won't fine anywhere else. We'll leave it at that. Join this fun and educational bike to to find out why... :-)

Market Square

It is Downtown's central square, full of restaurants, eateries and bar with events throughout the year. By the time we'll bike over this square you will be hungry and ready to get inspired for some yummy food. It is only a 15 min walk away from the ending point of the tour (bike shop).

It was nice. Doug is a very knowledgeable guide. It would have been a tad more enjoyable to pedal more, stop and listen to a lecture less- but- to accommodate all bike riding levels, I understand why it is the way it is. Also, I think for $90 each (with bike rental) a little souvenir water bottle, towel, or even a cool sticker would have been a nice idea (?)

Hi Thanks for taking time to leave a review and share suggestions. We are happy to hear Doug was a good guide and that overall you enjoyed the tour -- though I will say, following The Boss is a hard act to follow ;-) I do want to address a couple of the comments to let you know that we do hand out a souvenir and great coupons to local restaurants so if you did not receive those, I'm so sorry, and our apologies. And as far as the tour price. I think the price you are referring to covered two tours, not one -- feel free to reach out if you were overcharged by a third party. Thanks again for riding with us. Have a great rest of summer! -- Carye, Tour Manager

We had a great time biking around with our guide Daniel and learning about Pittsburgh history. This was less bike riding than I anticipated, with many stops to discuss architecture, history, and city lore. We learned a lot about Pittsburgh and got up close to many sights. I got way more perspective on the city and its history than if I would have done something self-guided. My teenage son also really enjoyed the experience. Daniel is personable, friendly, adaptable, and eager. Highly recommend.

Thanks for coming on our bike tour of the Burgh -- and we are thrilled it was a lot of fun and that you got to learn more about Pittsburgh and explore a bit of the land and rivers around our city. We so much appreciate that you took time to share your thoughts both on the tour and of your guide Daniel -- we will share those with him. Thanks again! Carye, Tour Manager
