So much fun and such unique history! Aaron's knowledge of whiskey, the history of Pittsburgh, and how the two are so intertwined was top notch. His humor, knowledge, and personality made this tour a wonderful experience for whiskey buffs, historians, or just anyone looking to get to know some Pittsburgh lingo. Dude is definitely not a jag. ;)

Corrie is an absolute Gem! She shared so much incredible knowledge about the history of whiskey and as it relates to the city of Pittsburgh! She is articulate and funny! Thank you for making this such an interesting adventure for us!

A super great walking tour! Our guide, Corrie, was really engaging and knowledgeable - she did a phenomenal job sharing some of the history of the city through the lens of liquor and whiskey. I'd highly recommend this tour to anyone traveling to Pittsburgh! My only issue with the tour is that the description of the "whiskey walking tour" is a bit misleading (or at least it was to me) - you will get a sip of whiskey before heading out, and a sip of whiskey at the very end, but the entire walking tour in the middle is just like any old walking tour. There's no stops or whiskey drinks along the way - this isn't a bad thing, but just isn't what I was expecting, and wanted to point it out to others.
