A fabulous walking tour of downtown Pittsburgh with our guide Ken, a fount of knowledge about local history, architecture, and culture. This was probably the best walking tour of a city that I've ever had! Ken was responsive to our questions, but also had a clear plan about the information and route he wanted to share with us. We learned a lot about Pittsburgh, saw many of the iconic downtown buildings, and heard some of the stories about the people who helped make it such an important city in America. We developed a much deeper appreciation of the city he knows and loves. Highly recommend Ken and this tour.
