4.00I appreciated the upgrade, but then realized that a tip would be appropriate and expected. I was not sure of the tipping amount. Again I appreciated your rearranging my tour to accommodate my need for a small suitcase and a driving tour to reduce my energy because of the heat. Roger did a good job with information and logistics. He was always on time and clear on meeting places. I appreciated those traits, and he included a good variety of places and sites to see. I especially enjoyed the Arch tour.

3.00Our tour guide only took us to the Old Courthouse, the Gateway Arch, the Gateway Arch museum, and the Gateway Boat cruise. We did get see the Basilica of St Louis. We didn’t get see any of the other items that is advertised on this downtown tour. We could have save ourselves money by booking these events ourselves. Our tour guide didn’t really explain much to us. It felt like he was there to just get us from one place to another place.
