Fun & delicious - I really enjoyed the sites of Pittsburgh as well as the stories and history of the city. The restaurants that we visited had delicious treats. Emily was a great guide and throughly enjoyed her energy throughout the tour. Would recommend this tour if you’re new to Pittsburgh or if you’re from the area. I learned new things even after being a native Pennsylvanian.
