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.
