Guide was great, contacting the tour company was not

Our tour guide, George, was fabulous with regard to his knowledge and interaction. He was a few min late picking us up, but did call to let us know. We opted for the 2 hour tour and were very happy we did. After I booked but before the day of the tour, I called the company 2x, got voicemail and left a message. Neither call was returned, which caused a bit of panic on my part as I was looking for clarification of some tour details including our pickup location.

Our tour guide, George, was fantastic. The only issue I had was getting confirmation specifics after booking. George gave us a 2-hour guided tour of Pittsburgh with a lot of history. We booked this as a way to get to know Pittsburgh and if that is your goal, this is the best way to do it. We were very pleased.

My family had a great tour with George! His passion for the city of Pittsburgh is contagious! My husband, myself, and my 16, 14 and 10 years old all learned so much. We only had one day in Pittsburgh and thanks to George we saw and got to experience so many important sites in a short time frame. Take this tour. You won't be disappointed!

No van, no air conditioning!! We were picked up in an old car raining with the windows down and 85°. George was very knowledgeable but all we did was drive around. Did not make the stops as described.

I'm very sorry you were impressed with neither our City nor my Tour – especially as I gave you an extra complimentary hour of Touring after you complained about the lack of air-conditioning on the Duquesne Incline car and at the Upper Station. We stopped and you got out of the car at the Duquesne Incline, the Mr. Rogers Memorial, and PPG Place. The only stop where you didn't get out of the car was the Shrine of the Immaculate Reception as you said you had no use for the NFL after players started kneeling. However, even there we stopped because you said you wanted to take pictures without getting out of the car. I explained at the beginning of the Tour that I would prefer not to use the air-conditioning to take advantage of the airflow provided by open windows as part of our anti-coronavirus protocol. During that short time when it rained, we did put up the windows and turned on the air-conditioning. The website says that a “vehicle” will be provided, not a “van”.
