George was amazing. He made the city of Pittsburgh come to live. The stories ranged from about hundred years ago. Whatever story he told us you felt that you were transformed back in time. He did a great job finding out what we liked and added to it our tour. I learned so much and he was one of the best tour guides I ever had in America. Many of the landmarks we went to I felt would have been overlooked on our own. Great tour for people of all ages and interest. Great way to appreciate the great city of Pittsburgh.
