Wonderful walking tour. This was my second time in St. Louis. The walking tour brought to life the rich, and unavailable history of the city. Sharon and Warren explained how and why this was the fourth largest city in the the USA. They explained different important aspects of the city’s history that you could not know without a tour.

We have lived downtown STL for 11 years and decided it was about time to learn about its beginnings. Sharon and Warren were our guides and did an outstanding job. You could tell they are passionate about St Louis and are knowledgeable about the architecture, history, settlers, and points of interest. They live in the city and can provide places to visit, eat, and play.
