5.00The tour was amazing. Covered the history of Pittsburgh, and key people that shaped the city. The tour was outdoors, as well as indoors that we enter some buildings. Ken as a guide amazing! Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and making sure the group stayed together.
Money Well Spent

5.00A most informative walking tour. This guy knows his stuff and it shows. What amazed me is that he has only been doing it for three years and yet it comes off as very polished. Even if you live in Pittsburgh you will be amazed at the info you DO NOT know. Well worth the money spent. Do yourself a favor and spend a couple of hours with this guy.
Great Guide, Great City

5.00Took the Best of the Burgh walking tour--Ken was a wonderful guide. Full of information and pride as a native son of Pittsburgh. It was late November, and a Ken made sure we went inside and sat down sometimes. I was traveling by myself and he fostered a real nice camaraderie as a group. Next time I am in Pittsburgh I would be happy to try another tour.
Nest walking tour EVER!

5.00Ken was the best tour guide I’ve ever had. He was incredibly knowledgeable, articulate and friendly. He encouraged questions and interactions among the participants. He also paced the tour well, incorporating rest stops in lovely locations. This is a “must do” Pittsburgh experience. Ask for Ken!
Fantastic way to tour the Burgh

5.00Tour Guide- Ken- was amazing- He had interesting facts mixed with humor We covered a lot of Pittsburgh - Ken's expertise on Pittsburgh made the time fly by and he even ran over by 30 minutes- what a value! We explored the city buildings both in and out and Ken had historical pictures to illustrate Pittsburgh's amazing history - visitors will love the tour and locals will even learn more about their city We can't wait to go on another tour!

5.00My wife and I signed up for the tour the evening prior and ended up being the only two, getting a very personal tour from Ken. Ken was a wonderful guide, extremely knowledgeable with interesting anecdotes about the city, its founding fathers, its architecture, and cultural luminaries. He was accommodating and did his best to keep us comfortable on a chilly, very windy day. We absolutely recommend the tour.

5.00It was a very worthwhile tour. Myrna was an excellent guide who loves her city. It is a great way to get an introduction to the city and get a lot of its history. I mentioned to her that a simple map would be a good addition, that way you can find your way around later.
