Interesting tour of Pittsburgh (with an "h") - We had Alan who gave a wonderful tour. Interspersed with the history of the city were some good ghost stories. The pace was good for the walking but it was nice to be able to cop a seat here and there. Definitely recommend this tour.

Historic tour with a sprinkling of ghost stories. - Great historic ghost tour of Pittsburgh. We have been coming to Pittsburgh for 3 years now for my daughter’s college. I wish we would have done this tour during her freshman year. We learned a lot about the buildings in town and also a lot about some of the restaurants and hotels as well. There was a lot of history and some ghost stories too. Recommended.

Fantastic experience!! - We loved the Black and Ghost tour! Our tour guide Dan was a great storyteller and very informative. We loved that along with the ghost stories Dan shared the history of each place we visited. Dan also shared photos that were connected to the stories. We had travelled from Canada and it was our first time in Pittsburgh. It’s a cool way to get to know more about the city. We would highly recommend this tour.

Fun Tour! - This was a fun tour, although I don’t know I’d call it a ghost tour. It was more a tour of historical stories related to the macabre lore of the city. Still a good way to see the city and some of its history.
