George is very knowledgeable especially about sports. The vehicle he was driving us in was very old and dirty. Apparently one of the rear side mirrors in the back seat had shattered and the glass was left all over the seat. He put a mat over to cover it. He knew some great places to go for photo ops which was a plus.
This was a very informative and interesting tour. George is extremely knowledgeable on the city and it's history. I highly recommend taking this tour to get a good overview of Pittsburgh and the rich history. The tour was over two hours long and cost $120. It covered everything from the sports area to the art district and the views from the incline.
Our guide was very knowledgeable about Pittsburgh history and attractions.
George is awesome. A wealth of knowledge on the history of Pittsburgh and insights to many historic moments in history and sports. A must do while visiting. George engages you in the tour
George is wonderful! We have been on tours all around the world. This is one of the best! I recommend this tour to everyone!!!!
Great tour with Pittsburgh native! Made it fun and very knowledgeable! Lots of really interesting stories about the city and it's heritage and, of course, sports!
George picked us up from our hotel. He is a wonderful guide. He was able to tell us the history of Pittsburgh as well as explain how the city has changed over the last few decades. His knowledge of Pittsburgh’s sports history can’t be beat. A highlight was seeing the spot where the Immaculate Reception took place. George kept my child entertained and engaged the entire time.
This was on pending until hours before, I had nothing else planned that evening for my kids. Had to call only to be told they couldn't reach the tour operator & it was a no. Very disappointing.
The tour was an extensive overview of Pittsburgh. The pickup point was easily accessible, the van was very comfortable and George, the tour guide, was knowledgeable, personable, and entertaining. The tour is a fantastic way way to see the sights of Pittsburgh in about three hours. You will love this tour and George.
George was FANTASTIC! This was one of the best tours we’ve ever been on. He knows his stuff and engages everyone in the tour. Our 5and 8 year old grandchildren enjoyed it, too!
