Outstanding Tour and Guide - I do walking tours when I arrive at a city the first day or so. I’ve done many over the past few decades. The Best of the Burgh was outstanding . Our guide, Ken, was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and winsome, whether discussing architecture or history. You won’t be disappointed

From Steel to Stunning: A Tour That Delivers - Ken gave such an amazing tour! I booked this tour on a whim and just based on the reviews I saw and it did not disappoint. It was one of my favorite walking tours I've ever done! It was the perfect length and felt very thorough with a range of great history and information. I went with a friend who's been living in Pittsburgh for 10 years and we both learned so much! Ken did a wonderful job getting us around safely and sharing his knowledge and love for the ciy with us!

Pittsburgh, Who Knew? - Ken, our tour guide, was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable promoter of th city of Pittsburgh. I learned not only about the steel industry, but also about the Carnegie and Frick feud. Architecture, art, history and culture were all part of this tour. I highly recommend this tour with Ken..

Excellent Walking Tour. - Myrna was our guide. She was terrific. The tour covered history and architecture of downtown Pittsburgh. Very good! The tour will not cover Fort Pitt or the sports stadiums. Fort Pitt museum is worth a visit. Good history.

Pittsburgh Architectural Walking Tour - The tour was very informative and gives a great overview on how Pittsburgh was developed and how it became the Steel City. Our guide, Kane, was very knowledgeable and learning about some of the architecture and the people who were responsible for their construction was quite interesting.

Excellent walking tour! - This was a really great tour with a wonderful guide, Ken, and a beautiful city! Pittsburgh has done an amazing job of revitalizing it's downtown and beautifying the whole area, including the rivers. This gave us some wonderful historical context to everything and the ability to identify the different buildings and the history connected to them.
