Tim was friendly and enthusiastic about the city of St Louis. A wonderful tour guide. The walk was easy and covered about 1.5 miles around the Arch.

Our guide was a wealth of information and made this tour worth it. A former teacher and seasoned educator, he mixed historical references with current events and personal experience.

Our tour guide Richard was full of knowledge about all things St. Louis, having been born and raised here. Lots of great sites and lots of interesting facts. Would plan for 3 hours if you are trying to coordinate a visit to the Arch.
