Summary: George gives a great tour! Strong recommendation for the person who hasn’t explored the city or isn’t familiar with its past (and potential for the future). He was engaging, fun, and knew his stuff - except we had to teach him about “six-seven.”

Summary: We booked this tour to learn about the City when we visited to tour University of Pittsburgh. George was an amazing tour guide and is so passionate about his home town. His fun facts and story telling convinced us that Pittsburgh is the 2nd best PA city (after our hometown of Philly). Book this tour when visiting Pittsburgh!
