Nice small group tour - Melissa was a fantastic host/guide, very informative, polite and considerate. Our group was only 2 couples, so she could get to know us.
I would highly recommend this tour for someone visiting St Louis for the first time. We were able to negotiate downtown St Louis on our own afterwards .

GREAT City to visit! So many interesting options - BEAUTIFUL National Park.
Enjoyed the history of the development of the city, the park and the amazing building of the arch.
The museum and movie enhanced the experience.
The walking tour with Melissa was very well done. Informative and interesting.
Riding up to the top of the arch is a MUST DO‼️ The view is spectacular!!

Parking, Oh My. - The Arch was very interesting. Cars are small getting to the top, but there is a model in the lobby if you are at all concerned with claustrophobia. There is a large museum to visit, as well. Because of construction, our only problem was parking and our navigation system was not much help. Kept telling us to go the wrong way down a closed road. I would definitely recommend this site.

A good intro to St Louis downtown - Melissa was a terrific guide. She knew her city well, was very friendly and had a great sense of humour. Nothing felt rushed and I got a good grounding of downtown. I would have liked to keep going and sacrificed some time on the cruise (which for me was about 30mins too long - but, others may enjoy it). Overall, recommended!

Ride Up In the Arch or Don't bother going - Worth the experience. Great museum but unless you plan to take the trip up in the arch- not real point. Cool from outside and a engineering marvel- but take the trip up. Went during day- think evening would be cool.

Short tour - We weren’t able to do the River cruise due to the Mississippi River conditions. Understandable but this made the tour last about 2 hours. Those 2 hours were somewhat informative but obviously much shorter than anticipated. I did get a message before the tour that we would get a partial refund. However, I have yet to hear anymore about a refund. For the price that we paid, this was a very expensive 2 hours.

not worth it - honestly, i’m sure Mark is a nice guy. But, he shouldn’t be doing guided tours of the city by any stretch.
I didn’t get any facts or history about the city. Was on the tour with 3 other people, and they all felt the same. We rushed through intersections, briefly stopped at some locations, and all the while in silence. we would occasionally get facts like “this is soldiers memorial. so, there’s that.”
again, i’m sure that he’s a nice guy outside of this industry. and i don’t mean this to speak negatively about him. but, paying +$140/person for someone to walk around the city with, and not be guided at all?
i’d say save your money and walk around the city yourself. and this is coming from someone who is very pro-guided tours.
