Amazed - Having lived in or near Pittsburgh for 23-years, this tour provided an unusual look taking me well beyond my usual daily grind! Alan Irvine spun fantastic tales of ghosts, grisly murders, and general mayhem of days gone by as we walked mesmerized through the streets of downtown. It was a spectacular evening well spent.

Unbeatable value with passionate, amazing guide - This is the best bang for the buck we've in recent memory. Our trip included 7 total people, and a tour guide (Myrna) who you'd be hard pressed to top. We travelled through every imaginable part of Pittsburgh and felt smarter each stop along the way, but what floored me was her passion for and knowledge of the city and how thorough and interactive she was. She didn't just go the extra mile; she went 10 extra miles. This was our first night in Pittsburgh, and this gave us a PERFECT idea of how to plan the rest of our time there!!

Not a ghost tour, but a really great little history with a spooky twist. - Our tour guide, whose name I shamefully cannot remember, really went the extra mile with us and we really enjoyed it.
