Overview
Our most fun walk! Journey off the beaten path with us and discover hidden art that is tucked away in our downtown nooks, crannies, and alleys. Our expert guides will dive into the history of the city’s Cultural District that is filled with historic theaters and beautiful plazas, and learn about the famous artists, actors, and musicians from our beloved city.
You’ll also see the best of Pittsburgh’s public art: captivating sculptures, light installations, and colorful murals. This is a great tour for photo-ops, and is a wonderful way for families with children to see and interact with the city.
Our tour guides are locals who truly love their city, they are very knowledgeable and willing to go the extra mile for you if you are particularly interested in something. Groups are kept small to provide a personal experience. Kids and dogs are welcome as well!
