Highly recommend! - We really enjoyed our easy ride and informative tour with Sarah. I’d never biked in a city and felt safe & confident guided through three hours of Pittsburgh sites. We learned so many interesting facts about the history, evolution and present of the founding families, titans of business and architecture. The tour covered all my sightseeing needs plus a little exercise. 🖤💛

Great bike tour! - Very nice bike ride. Largely on special cycle paths, occasionally on the road. Easy to cycle, no difficult hills, interesting points, so we as tourists would not be able to find them ourselves. Good guide with a lot of knowledge and very helpful. Recommended!

Learned a lot! - We do bike tours in most cities that we visit. It’s a great way to see the city up close. Our guide was Sarah, and she was wonderful.
As with all tours, it’s tough to strike the perfect balance between riding and the guide talking. This tour was no different. We probably would have preferred a little more riding.
We were a diverse group, and Sarah did a great job to make sure that everyone had a good time.

Nice way to get a little impression of the city. - It's a nice way to see parts of Pittsburgh and the 3 river confluence. There is also quite a bit of talking and stopping during the tour, so don't expect to cover a lot of miles. Kane, our tour guide, did a great job managing the group and explaining the city history. it was a very enjoyable experience. I would have liked to have a few more photo stops since there were some really cool things to photograph along the way. The terrain is mostly flat, so the traditional bikes were just fine. No need to use an E-bike.
