5.00Ken made our Best of the Burgh Walking Tour experience outstanding from start to finish. He was incredibly knowledgeable about Pittsburgh’s history, architecture, and hidden gems, and shared it all in a way that was engaging and easy to follow. His energy, humor, and willingness to answer questions made the tour feel personal and memorable. My brother and I were sad to say goodbye to Ken - he felt like a friend you'd want to hang out with after! Highly recommend asking for Ken—you can tell he truly loves what he does!
Highly recommend this tour

5.00Kane was a great tour guide and I think this partner in training guide Brian will be as well! Both super nice, knowledgeable of the buildings and area, helpful and patient. We learned a lot of interesting facts and stories about Pittsburgh and definitely would recommend the tour!

5.00Great tour, with a lot of history told in a very engaging way. We made several indoor stops which allowed us to warm up a bit and see the interior of some beautiful old buildings!
Loved it!

5.00It was a wonderful tour walking around the city of Pittsburgh! With teenage children, we learned so much about the city, its history, architecture, but also interesting facts and its future prospects. It was a fantastic tour of the city! Our kids were happy as well. Our guide was Ken. He is very knowledgeable, extremely kind, and also attentive to all of us so that we were comfortable despite the city being very cold. We will return and take other guided tours of this city with Ken and this very well-run organization. If you have any special needs or interests, they will do everything they can to accommodate them.
