Guide Sarah was enthusiastic and quite knowledgeable about Pittsburgh and its history. I learned a lot on this my first visit to Pittsburgh. She was receptive to questions and spoke to the participants particular interests. Tour route was mostly flat and in bike lanes. We were not impaired by traffic. My only suggestions are to shorten stops and increase our time biking. Show us places instead of telling us about them and include some of the beautiful close in residential neighborhoods.

Our group had a lot of fun on the tour. Shay was fantastic and very informed! Wear comfy shoes! You’ll see a lot of downtown!

Informative and leisurely and scenic. I started to get a little bit oriented to Pittsburgh's complex downtown area.

Perfect tour…loved by all of us….wouldn’t change a thing. Myrna did a great job.

Very interesting, entertaining and informative. Kane was a great tour guide
