If you are visiting Pittsburgh for your first time, this is the excursion you need to take. George, an amazing tour guide, will take you up Mt. Washington to give you an overview of the city and explain so much of the history upon which Pittsburgh is founded. He will teach you about rivers, tunnels, industry, steel, glass, aluminum, iron, immigrants, etc. etc. You won't have a dull moment, as George uses every moment of his excellent tour to speak in a voice, audible for all in your group, that describes events and facts about Pittsburgh in a very interesting way. We were impressed by his knowledge about Pittsburgh, as well as his interest in all four of us in the group. As George explained historical people and facts, he zeroed in on each tour participant's specific knowledge and interests, making all that he taught us so relevant to understanding Pittsburgh's great part in building the U.S. George was never a history teacher; what a shame! Thousands of students would have been enthralled with his lessons.
