Tour description
Pittsburgh is one of America's great comeback cities, a former steel capital transformed into a hub of technology, medicine and culture, all set dramatically where three rivers meet and crossed by hundreds of bridges. On this walking tour a local guide reveals its industrial past and vibrant present.
You will gather at lively Market Square, wander the historic downtown, and hear about the steel barons, the workers and the city's remarkable revival. Along the way you will take in views of the rivers and bridges. Characterful and resilient, Pittsburgh is a rewarding city to explore on foot.
