John did a fantastic job leading us around downtown Pittsburgh describing the architecture and talking about the area history. To start the tour, we had a small taste of Wigle Whiskey and then later two wonderful drinks, a Prohibition cocktail mid-way through and an old fashioned at the end. Two of the tour stops were at the Ritual House and the Rebel Room. As a wine drinker, I was happy to discover that I really liked the old fashioned. One of the other tour participants told me it was the rye whiskey, a good bitter and the luxardo cherry. Lots of trivia questions made the tour fun. I would recommend the tour to those who like to learn a little history and enjoy a good cocktail or two.

John was amazing and super patient with our loud and rowdy group. He was very knowledgeable and made the tour super interesting. It was cold and wet during our tour and John was mindful of that and kept us in and out of buildings to keep warm. I can’t recommend this enough.

The city, its history, the whisky… everything perfectly mixed by John. The two hours ran really fast. Probably one of the best things to do in Pittsburgh.

Liked the history our guide told us. Wish there was more “whiskey” specific information given….how it is made, etc. Loved the 2 cocktails we had!!
