The tour was filled with both history and fun. The tour guide was very knowledgable and pointed out interesting facts about the city. The breweries visited were nice and the beer was good. I would warn those taking the tour that the biking is a little tough when you go up hills. Fortunately there are only 2 during the trip. Also, this is NOT a strictly timed tour. It is taken a a very leisurely pace with plenty of time allowed at each stop.
My wife booked this as a Father's Day gift and it was a great experience. Our guide, Dan, not only knows his beers, but imparts lots of Pittsburgh history and points out many landmarks along the way. His partner Diane keeps things moving and they both do a great job looking after everyone to make sure they have a fun and safe day. I would strongly recommend this trip to anyone, even if you're not an avid bike rider. You'll have a great time!
Amazing tour of Pittsburgh! Great mix of history and beer. Learned a lot about the city, but the history didn't overshadow the fun traveling from brewery to brewery. Our tour guide was a lot of fun!
Hi Jillian, thanks so much for joining us and for taking the time to leave a review! I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed your experience with your guide, Dan, and I will be sure to pass your kind words along to him. :-)
If you book the Bike & Brews Tour, you'll probably have Dan ("The Man") Berg as your guide. He made this tour so much fun and entertaining. He is so knowledgeable about Pittsburgh, and quoted a lot of trivia that even I didn't know (and I was born and raised here!). Fortunately for an sententary old-timer like me, ebikes are available, which helped immensely. We were supposed to have visited several more breweries, but since it was Easter Sunday, some were closed. We rode to two, Allegheny City Brewing on the North Side, and Aslin Beer Co. in the Strip, both of which had excellent tasting beer (and snacks). Be sure to ask Dan about his homemade pickles, as they were very tasty, too. I would definitely book this tour again the next time I visit Pittsburgh.
Hi there, wow!! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review! It's always extra exciting when we can teach other PGH natives about our shared home. :-) I will definitely pass your kind words along to Dan! Thank you for joining us and come back soon!
Had a great time with Dan and Diane! Lots of interesting history and the brewery choices were a lot of fun!
Jason, thank you for joining us! So glad you had a great time with Dan and Diane....they had a great time, too!
Tons of fun and a brilliant way to get out of downtown and see a bit of the real Pittsburgh. Who knew there were so many breweries and so much good beer in one place?! :)
The bike route and breweries were fantastic! We always felt safe on the roads we biked. There are a couple hills but really not bad and it was ok to go slow. We really enjoyed our tour guides Diane & Dan - they brought homemade pickles for us to snack on halfway through. They knew a bunch of history about Pittsburgh that even we didnt know as Pittsburgh residents. I would highly recommend this tour.
We loved the tour. Chuck our guide was excellent. He had a lot of knowledge on the various brewery visits and about Pittsburgh. We felt very comfortable riding around on the city streets and paths. We were very lucky to be the only ones on the tour so we had a very personal experience. Highly recommend this tour.
Thank you so much for leaving such a great review, Irene. We're so glad to hear that you and Kevin had fun on tour with Chuck! Happy everything worked out and hope you learned some new things about beer and Pittsburgh. We'd love to see you on tour again sometime :)
We absolutely LOVED this experience! Chuck our guide so fantastic and knowledgeable. As someone who is not familiar with biking in a city environment, Chuck made me feel extremely comfortable and confident. Each brewery we stopped at was energetic, spacious, unique, and delicious! We will be doing the tour again with friends and are recommending to everyone we know!!
Great balance between biking and brewery visits. Chuck was exceptional! Planning on repeating in the fall. Very fortunate as we were a small group -- and got plenty of special attention. Maybe try Sunday as we did. Strip district, traffic, and breweries a bit less busy. If you have bikes, park near History Center and take advantage of Pittsburgh bike lanes to meeting place.
