Ok Experience

The experience is colored by the tour guide. Our was trying to be funny but she was mostly annoying so we did not enjoy the experience as much as we had hoped.

We loved our tour!

I would suggest just buy the hop on and off as its the same buses anyway. You just dont get off if u paid for tour only. So why limit yourself?....we did go with tour only tho and we loved it and loved our driver and tourguide Thanks Darryl and Gio!

Operator response

Thank you for the fantastic 5-star review! You make a great point—the Hop-On Hop-Off option is often the best value since it allows guests to explore Pittsburgh at their own pace while still enjoying the same live-guided tour experience. The good news is that guests on our Tour Only pass can also upgrade to Hop-On Hop-Off for just a few dollars if they decide they want more flexibility during their visit. We're thrilled to hear you loved the tour and had such a great experience with Darryl and Gio. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to them—they'll appreciate the shoutout! Thanks again for riding with us, and we hope to see you back in Pittsburgh soon!

A unique view of Pittsburgh.

You're going to have a great ride and learn so much about the city. It was far more expansive than I expected. You'll learn a lot about the city, and feel enticed to hop off and check out the neighborhoods. Keep an eye on the weather if you crave the top deck of the bus. You may need a rain protector (you can buy one in the gift shop). Otherwise wear your sunblock, hold onto your hat, and enjoy the ride.

Operator response

Thank you so much for the amazing 5-star review, Patrick! We're thrilled to hear that the tour exceeded your expectations and gave you a deeper appreciation for Pittsburgh and its many unique neighborhoods. One of our favorite things about the Hop-On Hop-Off experience is that guests can discover areas they never knew they wanted to explore! Your tips for future riders are spot on—Pittsburgh weather can be unpredictable, and the top deck is definitely worth planning for. Whether it's sunshine, a little breeze, or the occasional shower, the views from upstairs are hard to beat. Thank you for sharing your experience and for recommending us to future visitors. We hope to see you back aboard the next time you're in Pittsburgh!

Ren is amazing at showing off the "Burgh". Thank you for riding with us, and we hope your first trip to Pittsburgh won't be your last!
