Pittsburgh also offers a variety of bus and trolley tours for visitors wishing to tour the city.

Culture Caravan

On Saturdays, Culture Caravan is a favorite. Its wheels start moving at 11:00 am, and it will bring you to 18 of the best museums, galleries and places of interest in Pittsburgh. There are two different loops to choose from, either the North Side Loop or East End Loop. Both start downtown. Tours are narrated and entertaining, and better yet, they only cost $1.00 (ticket price does not include museum admission).
