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.

5.00Enjoyed Tim and his knowledge of true crimes that took place in and around Soulard. I hadn't heard any of the stories before and found it quite fascinating. One hour was a good amount of time; although I wanted to hear more!
Fun and entertaining tour
