We limit these elite tours to only four guests, but no less than two. (Certain family and student exceptions may be arranged upon booking.) Private Tours are available weekdays at 8:00 AM to10:00 AM, but require a two week advance reservation. The price is $150.00 per person.

Please call 724/329-1901 for reservations and use the booking code PC.
