Highlight of my trip! - The Black and Ghost tour was excellent! Our tour guide was an amazing story teller and historian, providing lots of detail while keeping the stories suspenseful at the same time. Going on a cold February night, I was thrilled with the hot tea and long, juicy ghost story towards the end of the tour!

A Great History Walk with a Spooky Twist! - Had a great tour with my husband and our guide Myrna! A good mix of learning history of Pittsburgh with a ghostly twist! It was a chilly walk but we got some hot cocoa at the start of the tour. Make sure to bundle up and wear good walking shoes!

The evening atmosphere of Pittsburgh - We really liked the guide and his style of narration; he was very flexible and adapted to our level of English. He spoke loudly and clearly. The whole family enjoyed the family-friendly, cozy, and informative walk tour. Miles managed to convey the unique atmosphere of Pittsburgh.

November 2025- Excellent, but cold… - Our host, Miles, was local and also well traveled. He had an extensive knowledge of the area and history. There were some excellent ghost stories included as well, one or the other guests even attested to some strange occurrences she had witnessed at Union Station.

Choose local - Myrna was a great guide! Very knowledgeable about the city’s history and hauntings. I really liked how she had pictures to show some of the old structures and how they had changed as well as some pictures of the people she was telling us about.

Black and ghost tour - It was more history than a ghost tour but still fun. Dress warm if you do the tour in the winter though.
