Take a chance on this tour - Our tour operator was very experienced, extremely knowledgeable about St. Louis history that he likely independently researched and is not well known, even to locals. Our tour operator was highly professional and really seemed familiar with the Soulard area. There is a great chance that our tour operator is the most interesting person in any room.

Fun, facts, stories - Such a great tour! It was obvious that Tim did a lot of research to include facts into the tour. But don’t think it’s just a boring list of facts…Tim is a great storyteller, and includes photos on his iPad to enhance his stories. Highly recommend for those interested in true crime or history in general!

Great MO history lesson - Great tour! We enjoyed learning MO history. We did the evening tour (Sunday option is daytime) it was easy walk with several stops along the way. Definitely take advantage of arriving early at Molly’s (the meeting point) and grab a drink and appetizer (or meal.!
