My partner and I had a great time getting to walk around and see the city while learning all about the history of whiskey. Aaron is full of good information and you can tell he is genuinely passionate about the history. As someone who isn’t a big history buff I enjoyed hearing Aaron’s way of telling the story and had some laughs along the way. Great way to have spent our time in Pittsburgh! Thank you!

Thank you for leaving a review--we're so glad you enjoyed your tour with Aaron! You don't even realize you're learning when it's fun :) Hope to see you on tour again sometime if you're ever back in the burgh!

We did the tour in the afternoon after taking the walking tour in the morning. We like Corrie, the guide, so much that we decided to do both tours with her. She is fantastic, very knowledgeable and attentive and very funny. We learnt a lot about Pittsburgh, its important history and the main downtown buildings. She took her time to show us the main places. The whiskey tour complimented the walking tour nicely and ending the tour at the Speakeasy of the Omni William Penn hotel was just a wonderful experience. We highly recommend the tours run by this company and Ms. Corrie.

We expected a whiskey tour - we got a super entertaining history tour made even better with some sips of whiskey and a great ending in an awesome speakeasy. Our guide, Corrie, was amazing. Very knowledgeable and entertaining. If you're thinking about doing it - don't wait - well worth it!
