Excellent tour with history and the arch - We had an excellent tour guide (Calysta) who knew a lot of the history of St. Louis. We toured some areas close to the Arch and then took a ride up. The views were spectacular and we had a very clear day, so we could see a lot. I am so glad we decided to combine the walking tour and the Arch, it was well worth it!

The walking tour of St. Louis gateway arch - We had a fantastic time at the Gateway Arch walking tour. Our guide Mark was helpful, knowledgeable and kind. My companion was exhausted and he made sure we were able to safely get where we were going next. The ride in the elevator pods was interesting and the view at the top was great! The museum was beautifully designed and full of info.

Gateway Arch Walking Tour - There’s a fair amount of downtown walking. I wish the tour guide managed time better as we were rushed at old capital building and Arch.
