This two-hour private Essential Pittsburgh Experience tour includes transport in an air-conditioned vehicle with hotel pickup and drop-off. The tour begins with a 30-minute ride on the Duquesne Incline, one of only two remaining funiculars in Pittsburgh. At the Upper Station, visitors view photographs and exhibits while the guide explains the city's development and points out the view, considered one of the top six cityscapes in the world. The tour continues with 30 minutes at Mount Washington, formerly called Coal Hill, offering another panoramic view of the city. Next, there is a five-minute stop at Acrisure Stadium, home of the six-time Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers. The guide highlights a unique feature visible only during a Steelers home game or on this tour. The group then spends about ten minutes at the Fred Rogers Memorial Statue, where close views of the skyline, the meeting point of the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers forming the Ohio River, and the Duquesne Incline are available. The tour proceeds to PNC Park, home of the Pittsburgh Pirates, known as a fan-friendly ballpark and notable for hosting the first World Series in 1903 and the memorable 1960 World Series. In downtown Pittsburgh, the tour stops for about ten minutes near several performance venues, including Heinz Hall, the Benedum Center, O'Reilly Theatre, and Liberty Magic, which features the unique Cell Phone Disco. The tour takes visitors to PPG Place for a ten-minute visit to see Philip Johnson’s "Cathedral of Glass," an important architectural work from the late 20th century. Admission fees, food, drinks, gratuities, and souvenirs are not included. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Collapsible wheelchairs, strollers, and walkers that fit in a standard sedan trunk are allowed.
