About this tour
As evening settles over Downtown Pittsburgh, historic landmarks take on a different glow and old stories feel close at hand. This two-hour Pittsburgh Ghost Walking Tour pairs local history with true-life tales of spirits said to linger in the city.
Follow a local, interactive guide through Downtown’s quieter evening streets, pausing at notable landmarks to hear about their past and the ghost stories connected to them. This is not a haunted house experience; the focus is on stories rooted in Pittsburgh’s past and present, shared by guides who know and love their city. Along the way, enjoy a hot drink on cold nights and coupons from Downtown restaurant partners. The tour is wheelchair accessible, and children under 6 and dogs can join with advance notice and proper supervision.
Meet on the Penn Avenue side of the Convention Center, between 10th and 11th Streets, and look for the white bike in the window. Join the Pittsburgh Ghost Walking Tour for an atmospheric evening of city history, local lore, and a few well-earned chills.

How the score works and rating distribution in Pittsburgh
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.

- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
