Summary:
Sarah was our phenomenal guide on our bike your today. She was a wealth of information about Pittsburgh, which was beneficial for a first time visitor to this lovely City. The biking was easy, good bikes/helmets, and several stops at the important places to note in the City, while including the history of the City as well. Everything from architecture to bridges to trees, to other important sites in the City was included. We're here for a Green Bay Packer VS Steelers NFL game this weekend on Sunday night, but this tour was another big highlight to our long weekend here. Would recommend it to anyone. Also...they have other tours to choose from, so check them out!!
