Great tour! Glenn was a great guide, very knowledgeable and fun, and added few surprises along the way that made the experience even more special. We used to live in St. Louis, but we learned a lot we didn’t know about its history on the tour. Highly recommended it!

I went to the Old courthouse on 4th Street and waited for an hour and no one showed up to lead the tour. I arrived there at 8:30 a.m. not one person showed up. I'm very disappointed in the experience and unfortunately it was $15.90 wasted.

We are so sorry you did not get to take the Tour. Our guide was there with a couple others. He was wearing our Guide T-shirt and ID button. We hope you consider taking the Tour if you come back to St. Louis.

I took this tour only last day I was staying in St Louis because I wasn’t able to find a tour before. I really should have plan this before my arrival. It’s really worth it! We visited the main spots, listen to historical facts and had a tasty Gooey butter cake! Definitely highly recommended!
