Had a fun time on the bus,,,, John was a great, knowledgeable, amusing Tour Guide. It’s a little annoying that they have so few buses and the schedule is not as frequent as it is in larger cities, but it’s understandable.

Had a great time!! Staff were very friendly and knowledgeable! Loved the city views from the top deck of the bus- best way to get around the city and see the sights!

I was on two different buses and both were warm, energetic and funny. Carole and Destany had the bulk of our large group. They dressed in festive gear and treated our family well.
I had Bill and I can’t remember our tour guide but she was good too! I didn’t remember to bring cash. Is there a way to provide a tip now? I was on their 7/4, 10:15 am bus.

They allow people to stand if no seating available and then those seated can’t see the attraction. People were very loud talking while tour guide was giving us the history of what we were supposed to be seeing.,

The experience was great until the end. My 81 year old mother was with me, and she enjoyed the experience and wanted to leave the tip. She didn’t know to wait until the end, so she gave the young lady a ten dollar bill when we got off on one of the stops, then at the end she gave her another five dollar bill. The young lady didn’t say thank you, she said “Yes, I think we can split this.” Referring to herself and the bus driver about the five dollar bill. I thought that was extremely rude, and apparently she forgot my mother had already given her a ten. Either way, my mother doesn’t have a very large income each month at 81, so 15 dollars total tip is good for her to leave. I thought the trip was great until it was instantly ruined by rudeness, and I ended up very disappointed with the whole experience!!

Fun. Glad you can hop on and off and explore which I’d really nice. Interesting facts. Watch for tree branches

Super nice driver who saw us waving madly to flag him down and stopped for us. Knowledgeable and funny guide.
Signage at the stops is non existent. Please make it easier to find you!

The hop on hop off bus was great. Was live narrated which certainly was better than recorded.
Had an extremely difficult time finding times and pickup spots going through viator.

You may not be bought back to your starting point. We were told they could not take us back to the River casino. We were told to take a cab back.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for your feedback.
All guests are provided with a route map and time schedule at the start of their tour. The schedule clearly outlines the timing of each stop and allows guests to plan their day accordingly to ensure they can return to their original starting location before service concludes.
Our Hop-On Hop-Off service operates on a continuous loop with designated stops throughout the city, and it is the responsibility of each guest to manage their time based on the schedule provided. Unfortunately, if a guest does not follow the schedule or remains at a stop beyond the available service times, we may not be able to provide transportation back to their starting location.
We appreciate you joining us and encourage all guests to review the schedule carefully when planning their day to avoid any issues with return transportation.

Tour was good problem was lack of information from Viator which caused us to waste hours trying to find pick up point.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the tour itself.
We're sorry to learn about the difficulty you experienced locating the pickup point. Based on your comments, it appears the issue may have been related to the booking information provided by Viator rather than the tour experience itself. While we strive to make our departure location as clear as possible, third-party booking platforms control much of the pre-tour communication that guests receive.
We understand how frustrating it can be to spend valuable vacation time trying to find a meeting location, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We will continue working with our booking partners to ensure pickup instructions are as clear and accurate as possible.
Thank you again for joining us, and we're happy that once you found us, you were able to enjoy the tour.

Very informative about city and surrounding areas. Liked the on and off , and must ride on top, you see so much more.. Vince and Carol were great!!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for the wonderful 5-star review!
We're delighted to hear you found the tour informative and enjoyed learning about Pittsburgh and the surrounding areas. The Hop-On Hop-Off option is a great way to explore the city, and we couldn't agree more—riding on the top deck offers some of the best views Pittsburgh has to offer!
We'll be sure to share your kind words with Vince and Carol. They take great pride in creating a fun and memorable experience for our guests, and they'll be thrilled to know they helped make your visit special.
Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back aboard the next time you're in Pittsburgh!

Great views from the upper deck of the trolley ! Guided , historical tour of the city ! Very knowledgeable tour guides. Definitely recommend .
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for the fantastic review and recommendation!
We're so glad you enjoyed the great views from the upper deck and found the guided historical tour informative and engaging. Our guides love sharing Pittsburgh's rich history and unique stories with guests.
One small correction—we actually operate open-top double-decker buses rather than trolleys, trolleys don't have the awesome upstairs! But we agree that the upper deck is the best seat in the house for taking in the city's incredible sights!
Thank you for riding with us, and we hope to welcome you aboard again on your next visit to Pittsburgh.

Our driver was reckless and there was no concern for the predicament she put us in.
She would not return to our original pick up, even though the traffic had gone back to normal (originally there was a lot of traffic, but the concert was cancelled and traffic had resumed to normal). she never checked back to see if she could go to our original stop, even though we asked. She instead dropped us off in pouring rain and we had to walk over I mile to our stop and traffic WAS back to normal!!! ). Also she was texting throughout the trip, weaving towards cards and then jerking us back to straighten out!
Side note: The tour guide was very nice and knowledgeable.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We sincerely apologize for the frustration and inconvenience you experienced during your tour.
Guest safety and satisfaction are our highest priorities, and we take concerns regarding driver conduct very seriously. After reviewing our vehicle monitoring systems and operational logs, we found that the driver accessed our dispatching system only while the vehicle was stopped at stops, in order to receive route updates and operational notifications. At no point did our review indicate unsafe driving practices related to mobile device use. Safety remains our top priority, and we continuously monitor our operations to ensure our standards are upheld.
We also understand your disappointment regarding the drop-off location, particularly given the weather conditions. While the concert was ultimately canceled, significant traffic congestion remained in the area due to the movement of approximately 70,000 concert attendees, as well as the additional 20,000 visitors attending the Arts Festival. Based on traffic conditions and guidance received from our dispatch team, route modifications and stop adjustments remained necessary to maintain service and avoid further delays.
To help guests prepare, we communicated the possibility of route changes and stop alterations in advance through our reservation system and again during the boarding process. We recognize that this did not lessen the inconvenience you experienced, and we understand your frustration with the circumstances.
We do appreciate your kind words about the tour guide and are pleased to hear that they were knowledgeable, friendly, and welcoming throughout your experience. We will be sure to share your comments with them.
Thank you again for bringing your concerns to our attention. We value all guest feedback, as it helps us evaluate and improve our service. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a more enjoyable experience in the future.

John, tour guide, and Carol, driver, were both great. We had a delay due to Morgan Wallen traffic near the stadium and passengers up top and down below giving advice to both of them, they laughed and took it in stride just as intended. Carol took that bus through cars that looked like we were going to wipe out. She was excellent!!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so glad you enjoyed your tour with John and Carol. Event-day traffic can certainly create some unexpected challenges, and we're grateful for your patience as everyone navigated the congestion. John and Carol are true professionals who always strive to keep the experience fun, informative, and safe, even when the roads have other plans!
We'll be sure to share your kind words with both of them—especially Carol, whose driving skills continue to impress us. Thank you for riding with us, and we hope to welcome you aboard again on your next visit to Pittsburgh!

It helps to plan your hopp-off stops ahead to make the most of your day. You just can't do everything. Be sure and coordinate your hopp-on timings with the bus schedule. They stayed very close to the listed times at our stops. A great way to see the city and hear the guide give you local interest, interesting commentary.

Geo and his dad were very knowledgeable and fun. Carol was an excellent driver. Easy to use. Was a convenient way to see numerous places.
Rozelyn_B, Oct 2025
If you want to get to know the city, this is it! We had so much exploring the city with the stops we wanted to see. Tour guides on the bus were funny and informative.
Melodye_P, Oct 2025
If you get off at any of the stops it takes a very long time (about an hour) before another trolley comes to pick you up. We were told the trolleys run every 20 minutes. Not true. We were told they started at 9:00. Also not true. On a positive note the tour guides were fantastic.
Ann_F, Oct 2025
Be sure to read and understand the schedule you're given. You may want to do the complete tour and then get off on the next go round. You have 8 hours max! This is a wonderful way to see the entire city that you would want to visit and you can get off and back on when it comes around again. I liked it so much I'm going to do it when I travel for the first time to other cities
jean_m, Oct 2025
It was a very nice experience. We got off twice during it to see the DuquesneI Incline and the Carnegie Museum. The narrator on a tour was great and it was a very pleasant experience. It is a good value for the money
Barb_C, Oct 2025
Sandy was a great driver an out tour guide was incredible. Great knowledge and a funny style we thoroughly enjoyed.
Alice_G, Sep 2025
It was convenient and flexible way to explore the city. The route covered all the major landmarks, and the ability to jump off and explore at my own pace was a huge plus. The onboard commentary added helpful context and fun facts along the way. One standout aspect was the driver—clearly very experienced and impressively skilled at maneuvering the bus through tight city streets and busy traffic. It made the ride feel smooth and safe, even in areas that looked tricky to navigate. It was a stress-free and enjoyable way to see the city, and the professionalism of the driver and tour guide made a noticeable difference.
MsElaine_H, Sep 2025
Book direct with tour operator. Viator booked us on the wrong tour, therefore, we couldn't hop on or off at the numerous stops as the tour was a sightseeing one. We didn't get to visit the museums!
Patti_E, Sep 2025
Interesting history of Pittsburgh told in a clear concise friendly manner. John did a wonderful job as guide & Sandy was an excellent driver.
Georgene_Z, Sep 2025
Bus was on time; guides were great. Best way to experience the city. Had a lot of options for different stops.
