This tour was a neat way to see the multiple neighborhoods of St. Louis that we likely would not have on our own. The guide seemed knowledgeable and discussed the history of the separate areas. We did not stop for a photo op at Cathedral Basilica as listed in the tour description. I would not recommend this tour for anyone with musculoskeletal issues, as this was a VERY bumpy ride throughout the city streets. We took our tour on the Charlotte trolley today.
This is a great tour. You learn about so many land marks and museums that you could visit. I wish I had done this tour first and not on my last day in St Louis. This tour made me realize I will have to come back to St Louis because there is so much more to see and do.
Trolley had no air conditioning and it was advertised that it did. Driver said his trolley broke down and the air in this one was slow It was 95 degrees. Very uncomfortable and driver was bored and monotonous
The guide said the road the the St. Louis Arch was closed and therefore we would not be visiting it. The guide was a really nice guy, seemed to be a well informed native, but he was very old with a very old voice that was very hard to understand.
Nice tour in an air conditioned trolly. Informative and the narrator / driver pointed out buildings and areas that we’d never see or find on our own. Great price for a 90 minute tour.
On a very hot day, it was a great way to see the city and to hear about history, etc.. We really enjoyed it. Our Driver was gracious and picked us up at parking lot close by the meeting place because we were traveling with disabled adults and couldn’t make the walk from the restaurant to the meeting place in time. Instead of letting 10 of us, miss our tour they were gracious enough to pick us up at the corner a few blocks away. Would highly recommend.
It's a good way to see the highlights of the city. I really wish it was a hop on-hop off bus to avoid driving to all the places.
Unfortunately my experience wasn’t great. I love trolley tours and have done a few already, but the biggest issue is that I couldn’t hear the guide on this trip. His volume was low, the trolley is quite noisy as it rattles along, the air conditioning unit loud, and sadly inconsiderate passengers talking the majority of the way. If the tour guide had asked even once whether we could hear him, that would have helped, but he didn’t. He started the tour and went on his merry way right through to the end. Didn’t really try to make connections. I believe this tour was supposed to stop briefly at the Basilica too for a photo opportunity, but it didn’t.
The driver was friendly and very informative. The trolley itself was a little round down and the AC was super noisy so it was a little hard to hear.
Fun day trip to St Louis and enjoyed the trolley tour. A PLETHORA of non-stop city info. Love it! Take the trolley.
