Our guide Ken gave us a fantastic tour! He shared excellent insights and pointed out spots we otherwise would never have known. He had interesting history and stories of sports teams’ players, ownership and old stadiums. He also made the tour kid-friendly for our kids of 10 and 12 years old. I would highly recommend this tour to any casual or hard-core sports fan.

Don't be fooled by the title, you will love this tour whether you like sports or Pittsburgh teams.

This 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!

One of our weekend highlights

We 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!

Interactive Fun

Allen was amazing! It was so good to get a history lesson on the city, cooler when added the spooky stories. 10/10. It was an easy paced 2 hour tour filled with delight about the city of Pittsburgh.
