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

5.00Myrna was a great guide! Very knowledgeable about the city’s history and hauntings. I really liked how she had pictures to show some of the old structures and how they had changed as well as some pictures of the people she was telling us about.

5.00Loved the walking tour where you learn unexpected history, like the ice house fire and original use of the Heinz history museum, learn a bit about the spooking happenings that have been experienced by some in the steel city. The guide privided personal stories and stories of people that she has talked to - like security guards in some of the buildings. Would do it again with more family members next time.
