The tour was absolutely wonderful…we had a very knowledgeable tour guide with John. He went well above and beyond anything that we could have expected!!

Your guide, John, was knowledgeable, personable and engaging! And John’s humor was a plus. We had a small group which allowed time for many questions and answers. Learned a lot about the topic, but also about Pittsburg history and architecture .The pace was reasonable and John was sensitive to it being windy and cool/cold. Great tour! Definitely as stated and more!
