    Self guided walking tour of Pittsburgh.

    Lynette_M, Aug 2026
    The guide provided was very informative and gave both audio and written content. With the concise directions and included map we had no problem navigating the route. The author also gave helpful tips on interiors of buildings we could explore along the way. We especially enjoyed the August Wilson museum and former Market Arcade building. I wish we could have changed the audio speed. I found myself reading rather than listening because it was so slow.

    If you take this walking...

    Shelley_T, Dec 2025
    If you take this walking tour in winter, my advice is to skip the last half of the trip. It takes you through some sketchy areas with many homeless on the streets. I would drive to the Point Museum later and see the fountain and hear the history. The fountain isn’t even running in the winter. The first 7 or 8 stops are worth it. The narrative is very good quality.

    Ends far from starting place

    It’s a long walk and you end far from the start. It was a bit hard to get oriented but after the first stop I was able to figure it out.
