Corrie was our tour guide for this trip. She was AMAZING! Her insight into Pittsburgh’s history, it’s current development and culture, and what is coming next was superb. Playful and interesting insights from both history and her own story as a local made this tour really special. I’m coming back to Pittsburgh in large part because of how welcome and informed I felt after the tour!

Though I moved to this city four years ago, but this was the first time when I enjoyed those lights closely. The Holiday Lights in Pittsburgh are really wonderful! I can't agree more. Also, through the tour, I was told about the history, the stories, and even the legends behind those old buildings. That was my favorite part! Recommend this tour, absolutely.
