Navigating Pittsburgh in an 1 hour!

5.00I had 1 hour tour at early morning in Pittsburgh. The tour guide asked me about my preference to see in city and then organize the plan for our one hour tour. I learned more than my expectation about Pittsburgh history. He also showed me some of the famous places in Pittsburgh, like buildings, soccer field, parks and mountains. I really enjoyed my time with this tour. In the time of my tour I was alone but the maximum number of people om that tour is 4. I was lucky to have a lot of space to seat! Highly recommended to whom are interested to navigate Pittsburgh but have rigidity in their time schedule.
Great tour

5.00George is very knowledgeable about the history of Pittsburgh. The Incline had a great view at the top and it was a neat experience going up. My husband enjoyed hearing the history. We are big sports fans so the stops we made were ones we would have missed on our own.
