In between we'll stop at the: -Mr. Rogers Gateway to the Point where you will actually hear Mr. Rogers singing about his "beautiful day in the neighborhood". -PPG Place, the 40 story Crown Jewel of the Pittsburgh Skyline, a Cathedral of Glass designed by Philip Johnson featuring the "Tomb of the Unknown Bowler" on its Plaza. In addition you will see the sports venues of the "City of Champions", pass through Downtown's Cultural District, and learn about the three legs of Pittsburgh's foundation which make the city so alive and vital today.
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
George is very knowledgable about Pittsburgh’s history, culture and sports.
Awesome tour with the perfect local guide. Very informative.
George is an excellent guide, knowledgeable, engaging, informative, humorous and generous with his time. We highly recommend this tour.
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.
George was knowledgeable, friendly, and entertaining. Learned a lot and had fun
