Got us to complete the ride of a lifetime - Rented 2 Gazelle e bikes in Pittsburgh and bike 5 days to Cumberland MD on the Great Allegheny Passage (GAP). My son and I had a great time and these bikes and the folks at Bike the Burgh made a great difference. We received great service and support and they were wonderful. A big shout out to Sarah for all her support and recommendations. You can’t go wrong using Bike the Burgh!!

If you come to Pittsburgh you MUST do this - 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.

Best Bike Tour in the Burgh? - 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!!

Great introduction to the beautiful city of Pittsburgh - my husband and I had a wonderful tour with Harry! This was our first trip to Pittsburgh and it was the perfect way to get an overview of the city. We learned a lot about the history and amazing architecture of this transformed city. What a great introduction to a beautiful city! Harry did a great job of keeping us safe on the ride and ensuring we had the opportunity to explore all the highlights.

Doug was a great tour guide - Doug was a former school teacher and is an engaging tour guide. He knows so much about the city we really felt educated about Pittsburgh. The bikes were older but very comfortable. Pittsburgh is a beautiful city.

History and Architecture - 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.
