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

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.

Full description

Our most popular tour! This tour is perfect if you are new to the city and you would like to see the most interesting spots of Pittsburgh. But if you know the Burgh already, we promise that you will still learn unknown historical facts! On this tour we will cruise through the streets of the Financial and Cultural district, explore the Strip District and check out the North Shore on its scenic river trails. We will dive into the history of Pittsburgh, tracking down the people who shaped this city to what it is today: a beauty. Old and new buildings, city squares and public art will turn this ride into a unique event full of exciting (re)discoveries of The Burgh. A fun quiz will be part of this tour, too. The winner will be rewarded with a 30% discount at the next tour! Participants of this tour will also get a cute, little Pittsburgh souvenir. We are pleased to also offer this tour in Spanish. Please email tours@biketheburgh.com at least 2 weeks in advance to ensure that the Spanish tour is available.

Our tour guide Kane was very knowledgeable about the history and city of Pittsburgh, and the pace of the bike ride around the city was great. I recommend an early morning tour, as the city was less crowded and easier to see everything, and it also allowed for time afterwards to do things in the city that we saw during our tour. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience that I would recommend to anyone visiting the city for the first time, or if you are returning and want something fun and affordable to do, either alone or with others.
