Walking the steps of those who came before us… - Our group really enjoyed the history of the buildings and particularly, learning about those wealthy men who had those buildings created. We will all remember the most beautiful life-sized Nativity display. Ken, you are a treasure trove of knowledge; thank you for sharing it with us!

Wonderful Holiday City Tour - This was a great tour if you've been to Pittsburgh for the first time. Our guide was very nice and very knowledgeable and informative about the history of the city. Since it was Christmas time, there were lights, trees decorated and even a nativity scene. I would definitely recommend this.

We were a little bit... - We were a little bit disappointed, we expected a light tour, it was a city tour, on Monday we did the ghost tour with Annie and in this tour of lights we saw the same things. We could have done without this. Anyway, thank you. We enjoy a lot!
