5.00This tour is a fantastic way to learn about Pittsburgh. You don't need to be a fan of Pittsburgh sports to enjoy the tour. We are diehard Detroit sports fans and loves it. Ken was a wonderful guide who gave such interesting background on Pittsburgh and it's history using sports as the backdrop. Highly recommend this tour!

5.00We met Ken for the Walking Sports History Tour and he communicated well with us regarding some construction and closures that would impact our travel to PNC park. He was knowledgeable, kind, and had excellent stories to share. He did a great job weaving together his experience and stories from growing up watching sports in the city from Forbes field to the present. As someone who grew up just an hour from the city I still learned a lot from Ken. The tour was perfect for our group and I would highly recommend to both locals and visitors!
