5.00Sarah is a fantastic guide. Her outgoing spunk and friendliness are fantastic. She provided mini history lessons throughout our walking tour. Great way to experience "true" Pittsburgh staples. Perfect amount of walking and carb loading😁

5.00Excellent experience with Emily! She was wonderful. She brought us to great local food places (and some history) in town , N’AT!!! When we first met her at the museum, already she gave us each a half baguette lardons ( c’est dèlicieux ) and the food kept coming. We were so pleasantly full after. Enjoyed our time with her.
Yum!

4.00We had a good time and enjoyed the food choices. Started with a fantastic baguette brought by our host, but would have loved to have started at the bakery instead. Same with peorogies, would have liked to see the restaurant, but the kielbasa was great! Ended with a few sweet stops, would have liked a drink to be one of them.
Must do!

5.00My wife, daughter and I went on the trip as soon as we arrived in Pittsburgh, my daughter on a red-eye from San Francisco. We loved the light history of the area combined with some local treats. Emily was enthusiastic about her city and everything in it. Pace yourself, the food was aplenty! Greta job Emily!
Great guide but Excessive cost not worth Viator price

2.00We thoroughly enjoyed our guide Rob but the price charged by Viator was excessive AGAIN not reflecting on Rob. He did a great job showing us the city and knows a lot of history and is passionate about Pittsburgh. Christos was the absolute highlight of the day; Jackie o’s personal chef! Thank you Rob for a great day and Viator shame on you for the cost

5.00Me and my mother when on the tour and both agreed it was very good. We lucked out and it was only the two of us. It was very worth the admission fee. while also eating delicious foods, the tour guide told us all about the history of the food, area and owners. While the tour introduced us to places, we wouldn't have gone to ourselves, the tour guide also told showed us interesting historical places that we could go to. Although the tour was only me and my mother, I feel that 12 people woold be very chaotic and less enjoyable. The tour was around 2 and a half hours, but it didn't feel long. Overall, the tour was a great experience, the food portion sizes were great, and our tour guide was amazing. I would totally recommend this tour.
It was fun however it...
