5.00A great way to learn history of the area with a drink in your hand. Learned some great stories about St Louis as we walked through Soulard.
Go with Tim !

5.00Great storytelling on the old St Louis underworld. Walked the areas included in the stories. If you are looking for old worn out mafia stories the tour is not for you. However, if amazing stories you have never heard about the St Louis mafia, murders, and injustice; this is the event for you. The presenter knows his stuff and easily answers your questions.
Need a fun adventure in the city

5.00I've lived in St. Louis pretty much my whole life, and I didn't know about any of the crimes Tim talked about on this tour. He's a great storyteller, and it was really cool to be standing in the locations where these things happened. I highly recommend this tour, whether you live in St. Louis or are visiting from out of town.
This was a very cool way...

5.00This was a very cool way to spend an hour in Soulard! I went with my mom, adult niece, and 15 year old kid. Definitely not material for younger children, but my 15yo and I kept locking eyes as Tim went through each story; we have some new topics to dig deeper into later around our local history. Tim was a fantastic guide. He’s very engaging and entertaining and the tour felt very respectful of the spaces we were in.
Our guide was super fun and our group had a great time together.
