Wonderful Walking tour of Pittsburgh withTour Guide Ken
juellec2026, October 2026
We traveled to Pittsburgh with another couple and took our tour with Ken. Can't say enough good things about his welcoming demeanor and wealth of knowledge of Pittsburgh. We wished we asked if he had been a history teacher previously. He was engaging, funny and really included the people on our small group tour. We learned so much and saw so much on our walking tour. By far one of the best tour guides we've had the opportunity to meet. Thanks Ken!

Exceptional Overview of Pittsburgh
Passport769977, October 2026
We took the Best of the Burgh Walking Tour with another couple and it was excellent! Our guide, Ken, was exceptional. If he were a professor, I would take every course he offered! Not only does he know Pittsburgh's history (he has lived there his entire life), but he has the gift to tell stories in the most engaging way. We left with a strong sense of the city's heritage, as well as its layout and connection to the rivers. I highly recommend this tour, as well as doing it on your first day there. This city is spread out with several unique districts - this tour will give you a sense of its layout to optimize your time.

Hi there, wow! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review! I'm so glad that you enjoyed your experience with Ken and that the stories he told helped acquaint you with the city. I will be sure to pass your kind words along to him! Thank you for spending some of your visit with us and we hope you'll come back soon!

A really great tour of Pittsburgh led by a passionate tour guide
Jeff_H, October 2026
Wow, what a wonderful, informative tour of Pittsburgh. Ken was an outstanding tour guide who clearly enjoys what he does and has deep understanding of the Pittsburgh (both with and without an "h") history. He kept it interesting, fun facts, and even shared jargon to help us speak like a local. Recommend this tour for anyone that has an extra two hours in the city or more.
