Fantastic experience, tour guide Goerge was the best 👌
Thank you for the review and for asking me to be your Guide. Lotta fun.
George is a fantastic guide and having never spent time in Pittsburgh gave us a great lay of the land and local knowledge.
George is very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about Pittsburgh, particularly its sports history. Thanks, George!
Thorough, comprehensive, enjoyable
We took this tour with George (the owner) and he was AMAZING! His knowledge of this city, its history, teams and “fun facts” kept us engaged and laughing (and sometimes singing) for the entire length of the tour. His car is roomy and clean and because it’s “small on the outside, but very roomy inside” he is able to navigate the traffic & hills easily. We booked on the day of the Pittsburgh Marathon/Pitt Graduation, so the city was very busy, but he navigated beautifully and we kept avoiding crowds & traffic while seeing all that was advertised and much more. We learned so much and saw so many beautiful landmarks and architecture. My family of 4 had a GREAT TIME and if you only have time for one tour, make it this one ~ it’s FANTASTiC!
The private tour of Pittsburgh was incredible and informative! Our tour guide, George De Bolt’s knowledge and experience of the area was incorporated into the tour and left us with a desire to visit Pittsburgh again to explore the city even further. George’s personality was fun and engaging, and he made sure our interactions were a part of the experience. This is one of the best city tours we have ever taken! I cannot say enough about this experience! This is a must-do when visiting Pittsburgh.
Our tour guide George was very knowledgeable. The tour was extensive and also fun. George also asked us questions and we knew some of the answers. What he knows and we learned were fantastic interesting facts and some trivia about Pittsburgh. We would recommend the tour, but it should be conducted by George, he is awesome.
Unique personal tour with George, a lifelong Pittsburgh native who dearly loves his hometown!!!
Loved the tour. Very informative.
Wonderful experience. Would recommend to anyone wanting a deeper understanding of this wonderful city.
