Sara helped me plan our 3 day ride for our family of 5. We rode 3 sections of the GAP trail from Cumberland to Pittsburgh: Meyersdale to Cumberland (32 miles), Confluence to Ohiopyle (11 miles, followed by a nice 2 hour trail walk and visit to the falls), and Sudersville to Homestead (24 miles). Our kids are 6, 10 and... More

We just got back from the best vacation-- rode the Gap Trail from Frostburg to Pittsburg! Sara Petyk of Your Active City set up all the B&B's for lodging along the way, the transportation of us and our bikes back to Frostburg, and recommended places to eat, things to do etc...then, when we arrived, she gave us an amazing bike...

We really enjoyed Sara's tour - and we were walking around in the 90-degree heat. She showed us a mix of the very old & very new, the historically significant and the whimsical. My husband & teens had never been to "the 'Burgh" before, so it was all news to them -- but I discovered plenty, too, and I graduated... More

I had only one day to spend in Pittsburgh, I decided to go for the bike tour. Sara (the tour guide) did a great job. She is kind, patient and knows a lot about the history of the city. I loved the experience and I will certainly do it again. Don't miss this tour if you are in Pittsburgh. It... More

Sara does a great job introducing you to Pittsburgh's hidden gems "in plain sight." Informative, interesting, easy to walk and fun for all ages! I've been to the center of the city many times, but didn't know most of the landmarks she showed us. Don't miss it!

My husband and I took the Active City Best of the Burgh tour on a Saturday afternoon. We had a great time and the tour was very informative. Even though we're both from the Pittsburgh area, we learned so much about the city and saw interesting sites in the city that we had never seen before. I would definitely recommend... More

This was such a fun way to see the city! I not only got a small workout for the day, but I also learned about some of Pittsburgh's past. Pittsburgh has so many great walking and biking trails, You Active City has done something smart to use them as a way to get out and see the city. The views... More

I am an occasional biker, and Pittsburgh resident of many years. I have wanted to tour the city by bike for a long time, but was hesitant to explore on my own. Sara was a fantastic guide with our group. Not only did I learn new things about the city I live in, but I plan to go back, and... More

I and two of my good friends took this tour in November and had a GREAT time! Our guide Sara's knowledge of the history of Mt. Washington made for a fascinating trip, her understanding of everything happening on Mt. Washington now made it a place I'll visit again and again, and her insights into the future potential of Mt. Washington... More

Though I am a proud graduate of the University of Pittsburgh, it wasn't until taking a tour with Sara that I really understood the historic significance of Oakland and the social experiment of the Carnegie Institute. Sara provides a great tour--and can shed fascinating insights on places that seem so familiar. She has a great sense of humor and is... More
