Description:

Take in spectacular views of Pittsburgh's 3 rivers as you ride up the Duquesne Incline to the top of Mount Washington. Hear about the city's history and enjoy its many landmarks along the way as your entertaining guide captivates you with stories of past and present.

Your journey begins with a ride on the historic Duquesne Incline to the top of Mt. Washington for a spectacular view of downtown Pittsburgh's Golden Triangle and Point State Park, the site of a land dispute that involved a young George Washington and began the French and Indian War.

Continue to old Allegheny City to explore the charming architecture and streets framed with old-growth trees, now known as the North Side. Meander through Manchester, the Mexican War Streets, Millionaire's Row, and Calvary Church to capture a perfect picture of Pittsburgh's fascinating history.

See the contrast from a fort in the wilderness to one of America's most livable cities as you visit the Carnegie Science Center, PNC Park, Heinz Field, and the Andy Warhol Museum, and take some time to explore Station Square.

Before your tour ends, marvel at the magnificent view of the Golden Triangle from the West End Overlook, then visit the University of Pittsburgh's Cathedral of Learning and its Nationality Classrooms.
