The history of St. Louis has been heavily influenced by Westward expansion and blues music. The big "must-see" in this region is the Gateway Arch, while other important sites include the Museum of Westward Expansion, the St. Louis Cathedral and the Anheuser-Busch factory tour. The city offers plenty for the whole family. Children will enjoy the local zoo and the Magic House, while family members will also want to unwind at Forest Park, home to the World's Fair almost a century ago.

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!
