Historical walking tour. - Our guide, John White, was friendly and quite knowledgeable about local history and how it fit in with the larger picture. A gifted story teller, he took time to talk with us to customize the trip a bit for our interests and shared stories from that perspective. A wonderful evening, indeed.

When Pittsburgh’s Story Meets a Great Guide and Good Whiskey - We had the pleasure of exploring the “Whiskey Rebellion & Prohibition Tour” with Walk The Burgh Tours, and our guide, John White, truly elevated the experience. His deep knowledge of Pittsburgh’s history and his enthusiasm for great whiskey shone through every moment of the tour. John’s passion for the subject matter was contagious, and he made the rich tapestry of the city’s past come alive. Highly recommended for history buffs and whiskey lovers alike!
