make Pittsburgh famous. Just Ducky Tours are handicap accessible, but need to be
informed prior to the tour and are only able to accommodate these requests at the Station Square departure area. Jsut Ducky Tours will need additional time to load and unload passengers. Please inform Just Ducky Tours of any special needs when
