Great tour, not spooky - Our family (5 young adults and 2 parents) all really enjoyed this tour. We learned alot about Pittsburgh history and the guide was excellent. It started 45 min late due to weather, and we had already had a long day sightseeing so we were tired by the end. Great tour and a fun family activity.

A great historical tour with nice ghost stories - The tour was incredible informative. Our host Annie told us so many historical stories plus a ghost story at each stop. My girlfriend grew up in the area and still learned so much new. We would definitely book another tour here anytime as they all souded so interesting. Annie was a great host.

Spooky Tour - We really enjoyed hearing about Pittsburgh’s spooky history! Danny was an excellent guide. In all, we walked about 1.3 miles in a little over 2 hours.

Fantastic tour! 😊 - Annie was great, very informative of the history of Pittsburgh as well as the buildings we visited. She had photo cards which really help you picture the scene, she even shows you where a speakeasy is. Overall great value and fun, especially if you like history or spooky stories. Definitely recommend!

A great way to learn Pittsburgh history! - Allen was a great guide on a beautiful fall evening! My friend and I were looking to learn more of the spooky history of Pittsburgh and left with a lot of new facts to share when guests come to town. Highly recommend for locals or folks visiting.

Disappointed - The historical narrative was interesting, but the "spooky twist" portion of the stories seemed very forced. Our guide was very pleasant, but rambled on way too long, taking away from the experience. We've taken these types of walking tours throughout the US and Europe and this is the first time we've been disappointed in one.

Not a ghost tour - So we took this tour and it’s not a ghost tour it’s more of a tour about the city. We left halfway through the tour. If you’re looking for information about the city, I would do this tour, but if you’re really looking for a ghost tour, I would not do it.
