George was a stellar tour guide! As a former teacher I truly appreciated that George took a few moments to aquatint himself with each of us and remembered what each of us was into so he could direct us to stuff he knew would be relevant! George had photos and maps to help orient us for each part of the tour. We have toured many cities but Pittsburgh was one of the harder ones to find a good tour - I am so happy we booked with George! There is very little left of any of the huge steel plants so having George describe the scene and provide historical photos was superb!!

An excellent tour guide. If you want a in depth history of the steel industry of Pittsburgh this is it. The tour guide was very prepared and organized. He obviously put a lot of thought and effort into the tour.
