Be prepared to do lots of walking. You see many sites and hear lots of history about St Louis. Our tour guide Matt was fantastic. Couldn’t have asked for anyone better.
I had an absolutely amazing experience on this tour, and our guide, Brian, made it truly exceptional. What started as a group tour turned into a more personal, one on one experience that made the day feel even more special. Brian’s passion for St. Louis history, storytelling, and knowledge of the city’s hidden gems brought every stop to life. From learning about the iconic landmarks to discovering fascinating places I would have never found on my own, every moment was engaging and memorable. Brian was friendly, patient, and genuinely excited to share the rich history and culture of St. Louis. If you’re visiting the city and want more than just a sightseeing tour, this is an experience you shouldn’t miss. I left with a deeper appreciation for St. Louis and memories that will stay with me for years to come. Highly recommend this tour and especially Brian as your guide!
Brian was very helpful and accommodating. We really appreciated his help in all the things that we needed to do.
Our guide Chad, was knowledgeable and very kind. We learned a lot about St Louis and it's history, which was great. However, I am not sure the cost matched the level of the experience. However, I am gllad we did it, and ended with a trip up the arch, which was unforgettable.
Get tickets before you go. Schedule is not flexible. It IS worth it. Take a capsule to the top of the arch and enjoy the view.
That advance ticket tip is genuinely useful advice that will save future visitors a headache, and the capsule ride to the top of the arch is not something to miss. 🏛️ Short, sharp and exactly what people need to know!
Clark was extremely knowlegable and, you could tell, loves his city. It was a pleasure exploring and learning from him
That genuine love for a city comes through in every detail a guide shares, and Clark clearly has it in abundance! ⭐
Great brunch at UBrunch, Awesome walk through the Old Cathedral and the Old Courthouse, wonderful tour of City Garden and Sculptures
The combination of great brunch, stunning architecture and City Garden's sculptures makes for a tour that covers St. Louis from every angle worth seeing! 😊
Fun and orderly! We have a fantastic time learning about the history of St. Louis and taking in the beauty of the Park!
History, beauty and a well run day all in one is a winning combination! 🌟
Great experience! Friendly guide who was very knowledgeable and made it fun and comfortable for everyone.
Making every single person in the group feel comfortable while keeping it fun and informative is a real skill and it clearly came naturally! 😊
Meeting at the Catholic basilica on Walnut which is one of two original buildings still standing after the great fire - Matt did a great job giving an overview of the founding of St Louis and the key historic events and architecture in a 1+ hour walk. Then we walked to the arch, got more context before we took the “elevator” up the arch. The arch architected by Eero Saarinen is a must see and in itself worth traveling to St Louis for. The museum at the arch itself is well done - great to catch up on American history, balanced perspective.
balanced perspective. 12:04 PM Matt setting the scene at the basilica before leading you all the way to the Arch sounds like such a beautifully structured way to experience the story of St. Louis unfolding step by step! 🏛️ The museum getting a mention for its balanced perspective on American history is something we are really proud of
