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.”

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!

George is a wealth of knowledge and pleasure to tour with. This was our 3rd annual couples trip and we learned so much and experienced things we never would have without the tour. If your considering booking, take the tour....

We have been to Pittsburgh many times but hadn’t taken a tour with a local. This was a great way to spend two hours. George was incredibly knowledgeable and had great energy. We had a great time!

We took two tours with George. The first was not as it should have been as he came in too small of a vehicle. It was difficult to enter and exit and to hear him. We had been promised a larger vehicle. The next day he showed up in an appropriate van and it was much more pleasant. He is knowledgeable.

I’d recommend this tour to anyone visiting Pittsburgh. George has an incredible passion for the city and was able to tailor the tour stops to our interests. We learned a ton about the history of Pittsburgh and George successfully convinced us that it is one of the coolest cities in the galaxy.

Our guide George was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Pittsburgh. His engagement, storytelling, and experience made him an incredible guide to this wonderful city. I learned a lot, experienced a lot, and had a lot of fun. I highly recommend.

I had 1 hour tour at early morning in Pittsburgh. The tour guide asked me about my preference to see in city and then organize the plan for our one hour tour. I learned more than my expectation about Pittsburgh history. He also showed me some of the famous places in Pittsburgh, like buildings, soccer field, parks and mountains. I really enjoyed my time with this tour. In the time of my tour I was alone but the maximum number of people om that tour is 4. I was lucky to have a lot of space to seat! Highly recommended to whom are interested to navigate Pittsburgh but have rigidity in their time schedule.
