5.00This tour was great in explaining a lot of the history of the buildings and had a fun twist by adding in “ghost” stories. Our tour guide was fantastic and engaging.
So much to learn!

Ghosts and Downtown Pittsburgh History

5.00Our Tour Director made this very interesting and was quite knowledgeable!! My daughter and I enjoyed learning about the haunted history of many buildings in the downtown Pittsburgh area. This tour was to honor my husband who passed away 9 years ago on March 9th and to remember the good things about him! He loved history, especially of the haunted variety and I know he would have enjoyed the tour too. I definitely could feel his presence with us on the tour!! Thank you for making my visit to Pittsburgh a memorable one!!

5.00The Black and Ghost tour was excellent! Our tour guide was an amazing story teller and historian, providing lots of detail while keeping the stories suspenseful at the same time. Going on a cold February night, I was thrilled with the hot tea and long, juicy ghost story towards the end of the tour!

5.00Had a great tour with my husband and our guide Myrna! A good mix of learning history of Pittsburgh with a ghostly twist! It was a chilly walk but we got some hot cocoa at the start of the tour. Make sure to bundle up and wear good walking shoes!

5.00We really liked the guide and his style of narration; he was very flexible and adapted to our level of English. He spoke loudly and clearly. The whole family enjoyed the family-friendly, cozy, and informative walk tour. Miles managed to convey the unique atmosphere of Pittsburgh.

4.00It was more history than a ghost tour but still fun. Dress warm if you do the tour in the winter though.
November 2025- Excellent, but cold…

5.00Our host, Miles, was local and also well traveled. He had an extensive knowledge of the area and history. There were some excellent ghost stories included as well, one or the other guests even attested to some strange occurrences she had witnessed at Union Station.
Fun Friday Night
