5.00Great tour! We really appreciated our guide, Jim Davis, and his insight into the urban planning and civil engineering around the tour stops. It’s an excellent highlight of the downtown core and Gateway Arch for those who have never been to St. Louis We do recommend allowing some extra time to actually enjoy the Arch Museum and ride to the top. If you want to spend some time there, this is not a tour to cram in between other scheduled stops in STL.
