Offered in: English

Our tour for movie buffs! Pittsburgh is known as the city where the three rivers meet - but it also features the convergence of some of the biggest moments in film history, from the earliest days of the moviemaking industry to groundbreaking independent films and bona fide blockbusters. This history owes much to the city’s role as a hub of industry, its unique architecture and geography, and tax incentives that made location shooting in Pittsburgh an appealing prospect for Hollywood.

Our tour guides are locals who truly love their city, they are very knowledgeable and willing to go the extra mile for you if you are particularly interested in something. - Kids and dogs are welcome as well!
