George was a great tour guide. His love for the city is obvious and his knowledge of its history is deep. He makes the tour interactive with binders of information and photos. We stopped several times to get out of the car for a closer look or experience. We really enjoyed it and learned a lot about the city. Great tour!

Historic and scenic tour of Pittsburgh
EmilyA_T
, Mar 2022
We learned a great deal about the history of Pittsburgh, and saw some amazing architecture. George made great use of pictures to show us Pittsburgh past and present. There was a LOT about sports- but that's part of the culture of Pittsburgh. Just a caution- there was no access to a restroom during the tour, and George was a little impatient when I asked about it.

Thank you for the review. To be honest, I don't remember the conversation regarding the restroom. I can always find one somewhere.

Horrible! The guy George was 30min late even getting to the location to pick us up. He ruined my grandmother's 90th bday

I booked this tour for my grandmother's 90th bday. It was me, my grandmother and my aunt. George, the guy who was supposed to take us on the tour was 30min late even showing up. So my poor grandmother was standing and waiting for an extended amount of time. Then, he shows up in an older model vehicle, not a tour bus or shuttle. We were not getting into a complete stranger's car!. When you run a business, you shouldn't have your customers waiting for you,you should be waiting for them. I would not recommend this tour to anyone!

Thank you for the review, Eleni. Given your father's travels in the past, his compliments meant a lot to me. It was a real pleasure to show both of you the City.
