This is just a great experience to live. Our guide, Mark, is just the most kind person. He has really aware of us which I really appreciate since my mom had a knee surgery about a couple years ago and she was worried she couldn´t make it but Mark was really supportive.
The city is just amazing and the best way to know it is riding a bike.
Mark also gave us a little present and bought us some snacks, we weren´t expecting that so we´ll forever remember him and Sarah who works at the bike shop and she´s also wonderful.

A really informative tour. A lot of stops to view the buildings and learn of the town’s past. Biking was safe through the streets, bridges and bike paths. It was a gorgeous day and our group was terrific. Dave did a good job! Over three hours just got a little long.

Sarah was our phenomenal guide on our bike your today. She was a wealth of information about Pittsburgh, which was beneficial for a first time visitor to this lovely City. The biking was easy, good bikes/helmets, and several stops at the important places to note in the City, while including the history of the City as well. Everything from architecture to bridges to trees, to other important sites in the City was included. We're here for a Green Bay Packer VS Steelers NFL game this weekend on Sunday night, but this tour was another big highlight to our long weekend here. Would recommend it to anyone. Also...they have other tours to choose from, so check them out!!
