Great tour to do in Pittsburgh - We loved the tour. Chuck our guide was excellent. He had a lot of knowledge on the various brewery visits and about Pittsburgh. We felt very comfortable riding around on the city streets and paths. We were very lucky to be the only ones on the tour so we had a very personal experience. Highly recommend this tour.

Amazing experience! Will be coming again!! - We absolutely LOVED this experience! Chuck our guide so fantastic and knowledgeable. As someone who is not familiar with biking in a city environment, Chuck made me feel extremely comfortable and confident. Each brewery we stopped at was energetic, spacious, unique, and delicious! We will be doing the tour again with friends and are recommending to everyone we know!!

Bike and Brewery Tour is Great! - Great balance between biking and brewery visits. Chuck was exceptional! Planning on repeating in the fall. Very fortunate as we were a small group -- and got plenty of special attention. Maybe try Sunday as we did. Strip district, traffic, and breweries a bit less busy. If you have bikes, park near History Center and take advantage of Pittsburgh bike lanes to meeting place.
