Sidewalks were icy. Guide was very concerned about our safety
Learned a lot about the city that I was surprised to hear
Great walking tour

Thanks so much for joining us and for taking the time to leave a review! Glad to hear that the guide was able to keep you all safe, despite the conditions, and that you enjoyed the experience. :-)
I did the Holiday Lights Walking Tour in Pittsburgh on November 30th, 2026, and it was such a great experience! Our tour guide, Ken, was absolutely fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire tour memorable. Not only did we get to enjoy the beautiful outdoor Christmas lights, but Ken also taught us about the architecture of downtown Pittsburgh and even took us inside several historic buildings that were decorated with stunning holiday displays.
It felt like the perfect mix of a Christmas light tour and a downtown Pittsburgh history tour. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone looking for a festive and unique holiday activity. Just be prepared—there is lots of walking, so dress comfortably and warmly!

Hi Anna, WOW! Thanks so much for joining us and for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your experience with Ken, and I will definitely pass your kind words along to him. :-) Hope to see you again soon!
Kane was a great tour guide, knowledgeable, , passionate about Pittsburgh, humorous and a has great singing voice as an added touch!
Response from Host, Jan 2025
Thank you for this fantastic review! So happy that you enjoyed your tour with Kane. Thank you for joining us!
We were a little bit disappointed, we expected a light tour, it was a city tour, on Monday we did the ghost tour with Annie and in this tour of lights we saw the same things. We could have done without this. Anyway, thank you. We enjoy a lot!
Response from Host, Dec 2024
Ana Luisa, thank you for your review and feedback. We're sorry to hear that you were disappointed by the second tour, but we hope that you enjoyed the ghost tour with Annie! There is a bit of crossover between types of tours as we try to share key features of Pittsburgh's history and architecture in every tour, while also giving attention to the specific theme of the tour. We are grateful that you provided us the opportunity to really share the most interesting and important parts of our city with your family and hope you were able to learn something different from each tour. Thank you again for joining us!
Our group really enjoyed the history of the buildings and particularly, learning about those wealthy men who had those buildings created.
We will all remember the most beautiful life-sized Nativity display.
Ken, you are a treasure trove of knowledge; thank you for sharing it with us!
Response from Host, Dec 2024
Joan, thank you so much for this kind review of Ken and his tour. We will be sure to share it with him! Thank you for joining us and taking the time to learn about our city!
We saw so much of downtown Pittsburgh, learned about the history and architecture of the city and saw the beautiful Christmas lights all in the 2 hr tour. We’ll return to many of the sites to explore them in more detail during our stay. It was an excellent tour and our guide was very knowledgeable!!! Highly recommend this activity.
Response from Host, Dec 2024
Roberta, thank you for this great review! We're so happy that Ken was able to give you an enriching experience in the city. We hope you enjoy the rest of your stay in Pittsburgh. Happy holidays!
Says holiday lights tour didn’t really see any holiday lights not worth 60$ spent almost 2 hrs to walk 2 blocks also the tour guy stopping to answer ppls questions that didn’t pay 60 bucks is crazy
We had a lovely Holiday lights tour with Ken. He was very informative and interactive with the group. We had a lot of fun! Would definitely book again!
I truly enjoyed the history of Pittsburgh. Our tour guide was extremely passionate about the city and knowledgeable.
Camaraderie, history, architecture all told with a very engaging and knowledgeable guide. Always fun to make new friends
Marisa was a great guide and showed us the major high points on a cold winter's day. There is plenty of Christmas spirit along the way.
Response from Host, Dec 2022
Thank you so much for leaving us a review! We're so glad to hear you enjoyed touring the Burgh and all the holiday magic with Marisa. We hope you'll join us on another tour soon. :)
I arrived at the time I said the experience 5:30 pm to the meeting point and there was no one. They should respect the schedules
