Sarah, our tour guide, was great. The experience was paced, fun, & interesting. So glad I did this!

Taking the 3-hour Bike the Burgh tour was one of the most fun things I've ever done on vacation. If you are a fan of any of the following, you will love this tour. Art, architecture, American history, Western Pennsylvania history, bike paths, bridges, rivers, fountains, baseball. You will see all of this, and more. And a guide will tell you all about it. Just a blast! I am so glad I took this tour. read more

We had a private bridge tour with Dave, who was a fantastic guide - super knowledgeable, flexible, and very entertaining! Such a great way to get to know an amazing city! Highly recommend Bike the Burgh Tours to all! read more

Great tour! I went solo and was grouped with 6 other people, some who were also solo. I thought 3 hours would drag but it actually went fast. There was beautiful weather which made this extra enjoyable. So many people warned me, Pittsburgh is a hilly city, why are you doing a bike tour?! The company and the reviews don't lie- the route is flat and easy! There was one small section of switchback inclines to get up to a bridge, that was the hardest part and still no big deal. You can expect stop and go riding, so it's just a little bit at a time. The guide Doug was very knowledgeable and he admits he likes to talk too much. I'd prefer a little less talking and more riding but I still very much enjoyed the tour. The bikes are prepped with a water bottle holder and small leather pouch for personal items. Bikes were comfortable and in good condition. Got a cute little Heinz pickle pin for a souvenir. read more

As a newcomer to Pittsburgh, this was a fun way to get acquainted with the city and learn more about its history, economy, culture, and architecture. It's about two hours (including stops) visiting prominent landmarks around Pittsburgh, such as the old Heinz factory, Point Park, Strip District, and other cool areas. The tour guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable and had great recommendations for the out of towners. And plus, great exercise! Awesome experience and highly recommend it. read more

I went on the beauty of the Burgh tour last summer and it was fantastic! I loved the tour of the best city in the world and all of the staff were amazing.

A great gift given to my by my favorite nephew Matthew! read more

This was the perfect way to get a quick ground level view of Pittsburgh. Our guide Dave was personable, knowledgeable and a super nice guy.

Just a fantastic experience - not too quick, no big hills to climb - and the trip along the rivers and across all those bridges was amazing and memorable. Our guide "Dave" was knowledgeable and entertaining at the same time as well as being a highly experienced cyclist read more

Couldn't have had a better introduction to Pittsburgh. All the staff were friendly and inviting, Kane, our guide, was great. He was informative and very easy to get along with. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Kane. and all the staff at Bike the Burgh. read more

We were in town for a few days and booked our tour online the night before. To our surprise, the tour was just the two of us with our guide Dave. He is very active in the biking community and we felt very safe and confident with him as our guide through the city streets. Pittsburgh is a pretty bike friendly city so feel confident in your decision to tour. We are from Florida so hills are not something we encounter. There were a few inclines to traverse but we managed to handle them. Dave shared with us lots of local history. The tour was just over 3 hours. I was surprised the tour ended at the market square instead of where we began our tour. We ended up getting lunch in the square and then figuring out our way back to the Golden Triangle Bike Shop to return our bikes. read more

Bike the Burgh Tours - Cityscape of Pittsburgh (Rachel Carson Bridge and Andy Warhol Bridge) Comfort bikes provided by Bike the Burgh tour - Historical Tours Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

THIS IS A MUST READ REVIEW! My wife and I rented bikes from BTBT to cycle both the C&O as well as the GAP trail. DO NOT make the same mistake as us and rent your bike From BTBT. We had eight other friends do the same trail and the quality of bikes as well as the service was much better from Adam Solat (bikes) and Golden Triangle. The equipment we got from BTBT was sub standard, heavy, and faulty. Wheels were our of alignment, brakes stuck and rubbed, and shifting was not working well. These folks might be okay for a short city ride, BUT, DO NOT RENT FROM BTBT for any major distances as we did. Also, communicating with this group proved to be challenging as well. BOTTOM LINE: THIS IS NOT A recommendable supplier of quality bikes. read more

Kane was a magnificent tour guide. What an awesome way to spend three hours. A great way to kickoff our stay in Pittsburgh!

Great way to see the city! While their last tour was already out, Macy was very accommodating allowing us an afternoon with bikes and great advice for our short trip to Pittsburgh. I'm looking forward to returning to the city some other day and riding along on a tour. Highly suggest Bike the Burgh! read more

Bike Pittsburgh is a fun way to explore the city. The 3 hour tour of Downtown and North Shore took us by various landmarks such as the Cultural District, Strip District, and Point State Park. Val was very knowledgeable and informed us about the Carnegies, Frick, Heinz, and other people that helped build Pittsburgh. Fun fact--there is a "fourth river" (really, an aquifer) that provides water to the Point State Park fountain. The tour is from 11 AM to 2 PM, but I thought it should have been an hour earlier. It was getting quite hot near the end, and biking past the Strip District while hungry during lunch hour was torture. Be sure to bring bottled water, some snacks, sun screen, and sun glasses. You can bring your own bike, rent from Golden Triangle bike rental, or rent from one of those new racks all over the city. Val just started this place in May, so I'm sure they are still working out some kinks. read more

We had a wonderful tour! The guide/owner took us to many great spots we never would have thought to visit. We're really happy we did this early in our Pittsburgh trip because she gave us great ideas for what to do during the remainder of our trip. I highly recommend Bike the Burgh Tours. read more

Location/Facility: Bikes are brand new, helmets are adjustable to fit and water is provided upon your needs. Location of shop is underneath the Convention Center on Penn Ave. beside the bike path. Needs: Bring a pair of shades and dress appropriately for the weather. Be well rested, fed and ready to explore the city. The Ride: The city of Pittsburgh has come a long way to incorporate bikes into road traffic. You ride in a group at a leisurely pace through the city, using trails where applicable. You should be conscientious to your environment and prior experience of biking in a city is a plus but not a must. The Tour: Val/Dave were on point. Val led the tour and provided information that, being from the city, was completely new and was awesome to learn. She had a thorough knowledge of the neighborhoods, history, architecture, art, and future projects pending. She had a great balance of knowing how to provide information in a useful and fun way without having a dull moment. Overall: I highly recommend to anyone as the primary way to see the city. She incorporated all the key points to tie the city together with an identity that is what makes us so proud of our home. Two enthusiastic thumbs up! Keep up the good work Val and biketheburgh! read more

Fantastic experience riding thru Downtown Pittsburgh and stopping periodically to absorb the ever evolving stories of Pittsburgh via 8 gear bikes, bike lanes, bike paths...

I cannot say enough about the gracious, amazing owner of this shop! They had closed early but the owner drove out to open up the shop to rent us out some bikes for the rest of the day. She explained the trails as well as how to get to specific sites and places to go to (they included a bike map too). The bikes rode smooth, and I liked that we weren't charged until we came back. We weren't stuck with a set amount of time we could rent the bikes out for, which can be stressful. You can tell they run their business with integrity. Would 10/10 recommend renting bikes from here. read more

Fabulous bike tour around the great city of Pittsburgh. I learned a great deal about the city and its architecture. Really good bikes too.

Well done.!!! Kane, our guide was awesome, his passion for the city was evident at every stop.!!!! I highly recommend this tour to everyone!!! Great day in the BURGH...!!!! read more

Awesome. My family was visiting from nyc and we had a blast riding through downtown. Val was the most gracious tour guide. We learned about Pittsburgh's history and architecture I. A way only someone with an art and history background could provide. Perfect for any sunny day! The riding was not very difficult with only a few hills to contend with. Definitely would recommend this. read more

Bike the Burgh also rents bikes! We called ahead to reserve bikes the same day. Val said that it would be no problem even with a bike event earlier in the day. She set us up, making sure to get us fitted into helmets and bikes properly. She even fitted my daughter in the bike trailer. The equipment was in great condition (and helmets cleaned at the end of the rental). Val offered us suggestions on where to bike -- all easy trails. We plan on returning for a tour on our next visit! read more

During COVID-19 you run out of things to do, but thankfully I was able to meet Val and Dave. These people are not only the most kind people I have met so far in Pittsburgh, but they go above and beyond to ensure you have the best biking experience. They give you a bike map, helmet, bike lock and you're ready to go! I've been renting bikes from Bike the Burgh for a few months with no issues and totally worth the small price to cruise around the scenic parts of Pittsburgh. Go rent a bike today and I guarantee you'll be back! read more

This was such a great time! I grew up in the Pittsburgh suburbs, and wasn't sure I'd really enjoy a tour of the city I grew up in. We had such a great time! Our guide was really friendly and accommodating. She offered a lot of information, some of which was new to me. The tour was a little over 3 hours. The ride wasn't difficult with a few hills. Pittsburgh is very bike friendly so it was no problem getting around the city streets. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for something to do to get to know the city. read more

You simply have to do this, you have to see the city by bike to fully appreciate tit's greatness. I had no idea, really no idea of what Pittsburgh was like, and after seeing the city through Val's eyes, by bike, I have to say, I fell in love with it! The city of bridges is so bike friendly and beautiful! Val is so full of interesting and thought provoking information about the city, you begin to understand it's role in the history of this country, you really begin to see the city. Best part of our trip! read more
