We met Ken for the Walking Sports History Tour and he communicated well with us regarding some construction and closures that would impact our travel to PNC park. He was knowledgeable, kind, and had excellent stories to share. He did a great job weaving together his experience and stories from growing up watching sports in the city from Forbes field to the present. As someone who grew up just an hour from the city I still learned a lot from Ken. The tour was perfect for our group and I would highly recommend to both locals and visitors!

Pleasantly walkable, informative, fun and interactive. Even a non-sports fan would enjoy it. I recommend it to everyone!

Allen was amazing! It was so good to get a history lesson on the city, cooler when added the spooky stories. 10/10. It was an easy paced 2 hour tour filled with delight about the city of Pittsburgh.

Wow that's awesome that the Black and GHOST tour was a top experience for you and thanks for sharing! {Note: somehow this review is labeled under the sports tour, I flagged it but Allen only is a guide for the ghost tour.] -- Carye, Tour Manager
