About this tour
After dark, Pittsburgh’s historic streets take on a different character. On this one-hour Pittsburgh Ghost Walking Tour, follow lantern light through the Steel City and hear local stories of unexplained footsteps, restless spirits, and a past that still sparks the imagination.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 4.10 from 6 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
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.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their 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.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.7.
