Lots of folks attend this big downtown tour, but did you know that DOP also does Guided Walking Tours, Insider Tours, Bus Tours and Virtual Storytelling Events? I have done Walking Tours focused on the historic numbers racket on Fifth Ave and Squirrel Hill. It was fascinating to learn about the old gangsters in Pittsburgh! I did an Insider Tour of Thaddeus G. Mosley's Woodworking Art Studio this year. Mr. Mosley is a real Pittsburgh treasure! During COVID, I did a lot of the Virtual Storytelling Events. You can sign up for these anytime as they are all online at https://doorsopenpgh.org Go ahead and #BeNebby by signing up for a tour! I think you'll love it!

Came to an event last weekend in the Hill District to check out the Pittsburgh Bomb Squad event. We…read morestarted promptly at 10am and were wrapping up about an hour to hour and half later. It was really interesting to hear about how the Bomb Squad came to be and some of the training and best practices they use--especially after the Boston Bombing. The Doors Open volunteer helped facilitate the introduction but after that they kind of took a step back to let the Bomb Squad lead the discussion which was definitely the right call. Thanks Doors Open for setting these up!

We enjoyed Wiggle very much and it's always a stop when we are in town. We stopped in on a rainy…read moreMonday afternoon and found it to be very empty. Well, the website said that their kitchen was open when we got there the bartender let us know that it was in fact not open and that it was only beverage service. That was a slight disappointment to us as we probably would've hung out later if we could've been able to get food. I did a flight and tried the honey, the apple, the kilted barrel cast, and the Wapsie. Overall, I thought they were all pretty decent. The kilted definitely has a lot of peak and drinks very closely to a scotch. The honey one for me was my favorite and I ended up buying a bottle to bring home. My husband got an old-fashioned made with the Wapsie. He enjoyed it but liked it even more after the ice melted a bit. We were a little surprised that they close so early on a Monday but they close even earlier on Sundays so highly recommend that you pay attention to the operating hours if you're planning to visit.

I was surprised at the cursory mention of the Hill District given the other rich neighborhood histories provided. 3 quick facts that could be added (less than 10 secs) Home of America's first EMT service, "Freedom House", which other cities used as a model. Home of August Wilson (mentioned earlier) and where "Fences" was filmed. Made Pittsburgh a real incubator for jazz innovation in the early 20th century. These could easily be added when mentioning the neighborhood while driving by. Would take this tour again for sure. Highly recommended.

Our first tour guide did a great job letting us know what had been filmed in certain areas, but not so well with telling us what someone might see or experience at different spots. Our second guide, Ren, did a great job with that. I wish she had talked about the giant art fair that had been going on through town though. (Although, maybe she did when we weren't on the bus?) We didn't have any issues with pick up or drop off. We got to see the Duquesne Incline, Randyland and The Warhol Museum. At one point we did stop at the tour companies headquarters - I would advise you not to make the same mistake I did and get sunscreen.

The original food tour company in Pittsburgh - they take you on tours with local experts and great connections to the city culture. We were blessed with our tour guide, Karen - who was a culinary instructor and an architecture buff - so our tour of the Strip District was loaded with quips and tips. Rather than just trying the food on a new era self guided tour, you are given the history of the century old establishments, the clever stories that made them what they are, and a personal interaction curated with the owners at a dedicated time. We visited 11 places and ate at 8. Karen said that she'd consider it a win if we ended on time and we ended full. The tour took exactly two hours as advertised and we didn't even need dinner later that night! I grew up in Pittsburgh but I will now cherish so much more of the Strip District - this tour opened my eyes to what so many more places have to offer! Oh....and you get swag!!! Tote bags to carry your goodies!!
