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.

Highly Recommend! Take the Tour Does Not Disappoint! - This was by far the best tour we have experienced! Alan was awesome very knowledgeable and informative! He interacts answers questions. Two hours felt like 30 mins so much interesting history about the city that we learned. If we didn’t take this tour our visit to Pittsburgh wouldn’t feel the same! We learned so much history this city has to offer!! The lingering presence that still remains in some of these buildings are mind blowing! My favorite story was about the Judge!! My fiancé favorite story was the “jailhouse diehard love story” that even was made into a movie!! Wow!! Seriously take the tour!

Pittsburgh history with a little ghost twist is a good explanation of this Black and Ghost walking tour. - We loved our guides personal story and we loved all the Frick references since my daughter just started working at the Frick Museum a month ago. It was great to learn of the different buildings and then the stories that went with each one. It was a nice little walk around Pittsburgh, not as long or far as I thought it would be. Its do-able !
