What you'll do

On our Secret Food Tour: Pittsburgh, you’ll explore the beating heart of Steel City—Downtown Pittsburgh.

 

Our experienced guides will lead you on a vibrant journey through the rich history, diverse culture, and thriving food scene of Pittsburgh’s bustling downtown neighborhood. Along the way, you'll indulge in classic comfort foods, iconic local specialties, and modern takes on beloved regional flavors. As you enjoy each dish, you’ll discover how we evolved from an industrial powerhouse into a dynamic, food-loving city with a deep appreciation for its working-class roots and immigrant influences. Downtown Pittsburgh is a place where history and innovation collide. From the towering glass skyscrapers with historic charm to our unexpected love for pickles, this tour will take you beyond the obvious and into the true flavors of "The 'Burgh". 

 

Food will be served with water when available. Or if you prefer, a thoughtfully curated Upgraded Drinks Package is available for purchase.

SEE ITINERARY

We'll begin in majestic Point State Park, the apex of the Golden Triangle, where the Monongahela and Allegheny Rivers meet to form the Ohio River.
First, you'll sample our famous pepperoni roll—a bite originally popularized by local coal miners for its portability.
As we stroll through the neighborhood, you'll hear how our Cultural District has transformed into a dynamic arts and entertainment scene and learn about The Three Sisters.
Then, it's time to indulge in our most famous sandwich, stacked high with all the fixings—Yinz guys hungry yet?!
Of course, no visit to Pittsburgh would be complete without paying tribute to the local favorite: Pierogies!
Next, you'll warm up with a bowl of an iconic Italian-American comfort food, often served in Pittsburgh’s old-school restaurants.
Finally, you'll discover just why Pennsylvanians love chocolate so much at a shop that has been family-owned since 1913.
As with all our tours, there's also our delicious Secret Dish!

Unfortunately, the weather is unpredictable in Pittsburgh. We do not issue refunds as per our terms and conditions. We also inform you that we never cancel a booking even if we have only 2 people!

+

Why do we need to pay for a booking fee?

+

The booking fee that you have to pay is up to our ticket provider and we can't change it. All our clients need to pay for it upon booking. The booking fee charged contributes to the cost of the ticketing system to provide an excellent service to our customers.

Foreign Transaction Fees

+

A few banks have charged their customer an extra fee while booking with us (this isn't the booking fee but another fee added by the bank). We think this is unfair, if this happens let us know by showing us in your bank statement and we will refund this fee as a gesture of good will.
