If you're coming through the St. Louis area, you might as well be informed about the rich history of this amazing area. Our guide was so caring, patient, and knowledgeable. Even funny at times cracking a joke through the chilly air. 10 out of 10 experience and I highly recommend for couples, youth groups, and families without toddlers (they may grow boredsome with the tour....Nobody enjoys a crabby tot, lol).
Beautiful city

It was great except for the rain! The guide Taree was super - she gave us some rain gear to use!! We saw a lot of beautiful brick buildings and learned about famous people that influenced the city of St Louis! We did not go inside any buildings. The tour covered ground from Union Station to the Arch and down Washington Ave.
