This is my second time taking this tour. I went with my family and had to go again to bring my friends. If you want to learn more about St. Louis crime history, this is so fun. We met in front of Molly's and bought some drinks at the bar for the walk around Soulard. There were 9 people in attendance. It lasted about an hour stopping along the way as they relate to the stories. Tim the guide is so passionate, you can feel it as he tells the background while showing records on his iPad bringing the tales to life. The Lincoln/Shields Bloody Island duel was a highlight, but all the stories were really interesting. Great time and highly recommend!
Great tour! Knowledgeable guide!

My 15 year old son and I had a great time on this tour. Our guide was great and seemed very knowledgeable. It ended up only being us on the tour but he still gave the tour like we would have if it were a full group. The only thing I would change- add a murder or two and take out some of the historic crime, or shorten some of it to have room.
Good stories in Soulard!

Interesting stories about people, not just a bunch of facts. He even had a lot of pictures to go with the stories.
