5.00It was fun to be a tourist in my own city. I saw and learned things I never knew. I like that it was different sweet treats: donut, milkshake, croissant, and baklava. I loved that the milkshake was very “Pittsburgh” with the strawberry pretzel salad shake. The guides were very friendly.
Perfect day in the city.
