A most informative walking tour. This guy knows his stuff and it shows. What amazed me is that he has only been doing it for three years and yet it comes off as very polished. Even if you live in Pittsburgh you will be amazed at the info you DO NOT know. Well worth the money spent. Do yourself a favor and spend a couple of hours with this guy.

Join us in this urban adventure where we'll show you some memorable sites, accompanied by a great narrative that will give you a profound understanding of this city. Learn all about the outstanding architecture, fascinating history, the lives of former titans of industry as well as fun hidden public art pieces of the Steel City. Get to see the main sites but also discover gems off the beaten paths. - Our tour guides are locals who truly love their city, they are very knowledgeable and willing to go the extra mile for you if you are particularly interested in something. Groups are kept small to provide a personal experience. Kids and dogs are welcome as well!

Took the Best of the Burgh walking tour--Ken was a wonderful guide. Full of information and pride as a native son of Pittsburgh. It was late November, and a Ken made sure we went inside and sat down sometimes. I was traveling by myself and he fostered a real nice camaraderie as a group. Next time I am in Pittsburgh I would be happy to try another tour.

Ken was the best tour guide I’ve ever had. He was incredibly knowledgeable, articulate and friendly. He encouraged questions and interactions among the participants. He also paced the tour well, incorporating rest stops in lovely locations. This is a “must do” Pittsburgh experience. Ask for Ken!

Tour Guide- Ken- was amazing- He had interesting facts mixed with humor We covered a lot of Pittsburgh - Ken's expertise on Pittsburgh made the time fly by and he even ran over by 30 minutes- what a value! We explored the city buildings both in and out and Ken had historical pictures to illustrate Pittsburgh's amazing history - visitors will love the tour and locals will even learn more about their city We can't wait to go on another tour!

My wife and I signed up for the tour the evening prior and ended up being the only two, getting a very personal tour from Ken. Ken was a wonderful guide, extremely knowledgeable with interesting anecdotes about the city, its founding fathers, its architecture, and cultural luminaries. He was accommodating and did his best to keep us comfortable on a chilly, very windy day. We absolutely recommend the tour.
