Two Thumbs Up! - If you want to know more about Pittsburgh's vast movie and entertainment history, this walking tour is the way to go! Our tour guide Christine interspersed interesting stories about the actors being here while showing the buildings, bridges and city streets where their scenes were shot. We went on a gorgeous Fall day and I loved every minute. Not only did I get my steps in, I got to leisurely take in this beautiful city and hear great stories from a knowledgeable and fun Tour Guide!

Movie tour magic - Really enjoyed our the movie tour of Pittsburgh with our brilliant guide Christine. As a film nerd I lapped up all the movie historical facts and stories associated with Pittsburgh. Ranging from Pittsburgh being the home of the first movie theater to the place where the classic Bruce Willis film Striking Distance being shot in.

Pittsburgh and the Cinema - We really enjoyed seeing the specific locations in Pittsburgh where various movie scenes took place. I had to check out some of the movie scene locations on YouTube when I got home. Corrie was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable. We also enjoyed some of the additional non-movie related historical architecture highlights she included.

Excellent Hollywood East Tour - My wife and I recently moved to Pittsburgh and wanted to learn more about downtown. We were aware of some movies filmed in Pittsburgh, but the Hollywood East tour showed us many more movie locations than we expected. Corrie was a wonderful guide and had lots of historical info to share about the city along the way. We will definitely be back for other tours in the future.
