Myrna was flexible with our schedule and needs. She has a depth of knowledge about the downtown Pittsburgh history as well as the architecture. My husband lived in Pittsburgh years ago and he was surprised to learn many new things about the development of the town.

Your Pittsburgh trip should start with one of these tours! We spent two hours with Myrna and now have knowledge of the city’s history, local culture and architecture. This makes all the difference as it allows you to fully experience a city and not just “see” it. Thank you, Myrna!!!

We had a wonderful experience with Amelia as our guide on a beautiful Saturday morning. She was very friendly and knowledgeable. We learned tons while in the short time we were in Pittsburgh. This is a dog-friendly tour! Our dog loved walking around with us in Pittsburgh!

A pleasant and interestingly designed tour with lots of background information, such as the city's historical development.

Plus, it was conducted in English that was easy for non-native speakers to understand. Thank you!

We were lucky to enjoy a tour of the city led by Myrna. Our group consisted of a young family, more “mature” couples, and younger international visitors. Myrna is both personable and professional. She kept the group going at a great pace and provided really interesting information about the history of Pittsburgh that entertained and enlightened all of us. Two hours flew by and we left with a good understanding of the city for further exploring on our own. Would highly recommend taking this tour.
