The walk was very easy. I highly recommend this tour!

It was more history than a ghost tour but still fun. Dress warm if you do the tour in the winter though.

We had Alan who gave a wonderful tour. Interspersed with the history of the city were some good ghost stories. The pace was good for the walking but it was nice to be able to cop a seat here and there. Definitely recommend this tour.

Allan made our trip to Pittsburgh magical! I would totally recommend this experience. Very knowledgeable and great at story telling and tentative to the needs of the group. I enjoy the history part of the walk and my daughter liked the ghost stories!!
Response from Host, Nov 2024
Hi Nancy, so happy to hear that your tour with Allen was magical. We enjoyed having you and hope we can see you again on another tour. --Jodi, Tour Manager
Lupe_A, Oct 2024
This was by far the best tour we have experienced! Alan was awesome very knowledgeable and informative! He interacts answers questions. Two hours felt like 30 mins so much interesting history about the city that we learned. If we didn’t take this tour our visit to Pittsburgh wouldn’t feel the same! We learned so much history this city has to offer!! The lingering presence that still remains in some of these buildings are mind blowing! My favorite story was about the Judge!! My fiancé favorite story was the “jailhouse diehard love story” that even was made into a movie!! Wow!! Seriously take the tour!
Theresa_R, Oct 2024

Wesley_W, Sep 2024
Our tour guide Allen was very knowledgeable on the history of Pittsburgh and was a good story teller. I just wish there were more ghost stories incorporated into the tour. Overall, it was a very interesting and informative tour and we really enjoyed it. We learned a great deal about Pittsburgh and got to see a lot of downtown. Also thanks to Allen for the food recommendations!
