THIS TOUR IS A MUST even if you don’t care for whiskey! Corrie was probably one of the most interesting tour guides I’ve ever experienced... You can’t believe how much history of whiskey, prohibition and Pittsburgh history...My whole family was more than satisfied with all the knowledge we gained! Corrie made this fun while filling the whole walking tour with interesting facts and history....

Corrie was an incredible tour guide. She was really knowledgeable about Pittsburgh's whiskey history, but also exceptionally fun. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone that wants to have a good time and learn some history along the way. All around great experience!!

Corrie was an excellent guide. She is so knowledgeable about Pittsburgh, and clearly loves her city. We were amazed to learn that Pittsburgh has quite a storied whiskey (or whisky if you're from a country with no "i") making history! Corrie made the tour fun and factual. Downtown Pittsburgh is truly lovely. We learned that the US Steel Tower is made from exposed steel designed to weather to a rust finish. The Alcoa building is made from aluminum, and the PPG building is glass. We enjoyed learning the Wigle story and how they challenged the law a few years back and were able to make changes. The Wigle Whisky shots were appreciated, too! Definitely recommend this tour.
