George is amazing! I had out of town guests and took a chance George might be available on short notice and he made it work for us! We all really enjoyed the tour! It was so interesting to hear stories about the city that we'd never heard before. The trip on the incline was wonderful..and seeing the view from where the Mr Rodgers statue is was absolutely stunning. The van was comfortable and George recommended a starting point in the strip that was very convenient for our group to park. Highly recommend a trip with George!

George was great and we enjoyed his knowledge of Pittsburgh and engaging us rather than simply reciting facts. We highly recommend George when visiting Pittsburgh. Our visit covered Henry Frick and the Homestead massacre but also included city highlights as it was our first visit. JZ

I have used Tours by Locals in several countries, and George is right up there at the top. His love of Pittsburgh, his knowledge and his wit provided us with a wonderful afternoon. He was a true find for my friend and me who had limited time in the City. I feel like a native and want to return. Kudos to George.
