Our tour for movie buffs! Pittsburgh is known as the city where the three rivers meet - but it also features the convergence of some of the biggest moments in film history, from the earliest days of the moviemaking industry to groundbreaking independent films and big blockbusters. This history owes much to the city’s role as a hub of industry, its unique architecture and geography, and tax incentives that made location shooting in Pittsburgh an appealing prospect for Hollywood. This tour will take you through the historic Downtown and into the famous filming locations from some of your favorite movies! This is your opportunity to walk in the footsteps of zombies and Batman. Come and discover Pittsburgh’s important role in the film industry’s past and present - and get inspired for future movie nights!

Weekend in Pittsburgh

5.00We were visiting Pittsburgh for the weekend and decided to take the movie tour. We have been to Pittsburgh many times, but this allowed to see Pittsburgh in a whole new way. Christine was a wealth of information and we had no idea Pittsburgh had such a rich history in film. Our entire family enjoyed the tour. We would recommend to anyone visiting Pittsburgh.

5.00If you want to know more about Pittsburgh's vast movie and entertainment history, this walking tour is the way to go! Our tour guide Christine interspersed interesting stories about the actors being here while showing the buildings, bridges and city streets where their scenes were shot. We went on a gorgeous Fall day and I loved every minute. Not only did I get my steps in, I got to leisurely take in this beautiful city and hear great stories from a knowledgeable and fun Tour Guide!

5.00Really enjoyed our the movie tour of Pittsburgh with our brilliant guide Christine. As a film nerd I lapped up all the movie historical facts and stories associated with Pittsburgh. Ranging from Pittsburgh being the home of the first movie theater to the place where the classic Bruce Willis film Striking Distance being shot in.

5.00We really enjoyed seeing the specific locations in Pittsburgh where various movie scenes took place. I had to check out some of the movie scene locations on YouTube when I got home. Corrie was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable. We also enjoyed some of the additional non-movie related historical architecture highlights she included.
Excellent Hollywood East Tour

5.00My wife and I recently moved to Pittsburgh and wanted to learn more about downtown. We were aware of some movies filmed in Pittsburgh, but the Hollywood East tour showed us many more movie locations than we expected. Corrie was a wonderful guide and had lots of historical info to share about the city along the way. We will definitely be back for other tours in the future.
Do you want to have fun and learn a lot? This is the tour for you!!
