It was a great 4-day bike ride on the Katy Trail, guided by Luke and Mark of Crossroads Bike Tours! They took care of every possible detail, so all we needed to do was ride, enjoy the beautiful scenery, and savor the wine tastings at the end of the day. Who knew Missouri had such great wines! Luke and Mark were fun and very accommodating. We hope to ride with them again sometime and will probably try the MCT tour next.

Tim was very flexible with the group. We were going to do a step on tour and switched to a combination of walking and going on the motorcoach. I had one parent who said she lived in St. Louis previously for over 10 years and was not aware of all the history that Tim shared on our tour.

My boyfriend and I took the haunted lempe neighborhood walking tour while in town visiting for the weekend of 10/25. I have done others so I expected it to be fun but It exceeded our expectations. The male tour guide was funny and had interesting stories as well as additional commentary outside of the stories of lempe neighborhood. Well worth the money. There is quite a secret history in St. Louis and I definitely recommend adding this tour to your list of things to do while visiting. Going inside the Lempe Brewery was very cool. There were children on our tour as well so it is family friendly. Super fun!!

Had a great time with Tim learning about some of the history overall of St Louis, but also some of the more notorious people and events. The walk was pleasant and unhurried and there were shady spots to stand and listen to the stories. He even had pictures from old newspapers that helped you envision the people and events. Tour was just at/over an hour and moving into summer, definitely bring a hat/ shade and sunscreen. Husband and I had a great time and would recommend to everyone!
