All the Highlights of Pittsburg
linda_t, Mar 2023
We came to Pittsburg to visit our son. George our Viator Guide was so fun and knew Everything about Pittsburg. We so enjoyed our city tour with him. Taking us himself to the Duquesne Incline was the highlight!

Pittsburgh- city of 5 Cs
AnnaJanicki, Feb 2023
George was amazing. He tailored the experience to reflect our interests and purpose for the visit- college visit. He was funny with a vast source of knowledge. He should be the spoke person for this beautiful city. We learned a lot about Pittsburgh today. Curious, communal, creative, committed and conciatious city.
Response from Host, Feb 2023
In my 88 years, you're the first person to mention the "Five C's". Hopefully, you're not the first person to remember them. We look forward to seeing you again in da 'Burgh...as parents of a student attending school here. Thank you for the review.
Lovely historical journey
Maureen_K, Jan 2023
George's Pittsburgh tour was great especially because of his ability to engage us constantly, no matter where we came from. His ability to enhance our understanding of the history of Pittsburgh was cool. We now know many more interesting things about Pittsburgh and its community. Lovely or 'baddiya' as we would say in Hindi.
Response from Host, Jan 2023
First review ever in Hindi. शुक्रिया. Glad we could make the Tour work on such short notice. And thank your children for their attention and engagement. Wish them a great rest of school year.
Truly the essential Pittsburgh tour!!

Response from Host, Mar 2023
Fun couples. Glad I could link your hometown with the designer of the Brooklyn Bridge. Thank you for the good time and the review.
Great Guide
Ryan_S, Jan 2023
Very knowledgeable guide with maps, pictures and and endless supply of personal anecdotes. Geoge clearly knew his stuff. The incline was the best part of the tour.
Response from Host, Jan 2023
Glad you liked the Tour. As I mentioned the Incline is the #1 attraction in Pittsburgh. Your review is a fine start to the New Year. Thank you for sending it.

Best City Tour EVER!!
Lisa_M, Nov 2022
Our tour guide George was PHENOMENAL!! He was highly personable, and knowledgeable, and made it so much fun. He shared stories and facts as he drove us from site to site, got us access to areas that others were not allowed, and best of all engaged the kids so they never once thought about their phones or devices. The kids love the tour and talked about all the facts they learned for days.
Made me a great fan of Pittsburgh!
James_C, Nov 2022
George DeBolt is the most knowledgeable, interesting, and fun your guide I have ever hired. He gave much more value than the cost of the tour.
