Downtown West Tour - Such a cool experience. We learned a ton about the architecture and history of the city. Would highly recommend to tourists or locals!

Excellent experience - 10 out of 10 would recommend - Charlie was great. Really knowledgeable and passionate about all things St Louis. Would love to follow this tour up with the East version one day. Highly recommend.

Excellent Tour Guide - Charlie was an excellent guide. He knew so much about the buildings and their history. He made the experience delightful despite the excessive heat.

Second tour just as interesting as the first - My husband and I did this walking tour a couple of years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. We learned so much even though we are history enthusiasts. On June 21, I did the tour again with friends and Charlie was our tour guide once again. Equally as engaging and interesting

Amazing architectural finds in downtown St. Louis - Although this tour was not our first choice, we are so happy that we went on this west tour VS eat tour. Charlie was great in showing us all these amazing architectural buildings that we normally would not have visited ourselves. Definitely recommend this trip to anyone interested in discovering the beautiful and interesting buildings and their history in downtown St. Louis.

Tour - Awesome tour guide. Pictures of buildings were wonderful. Local knowledge and history. Tour was the perfect length. Loved it

Great experience - Excellent tour! Our guide Charles was very knowledgeable about the architecture we were viewing. Beautiful buildings both inside and out.

History on foot - Very enjoyable stroll with a knowledgeable guide. The city looks so different on foot! I’d highly recommend. Plan to return to view interiors of many of these beautiful buildings as a result.

Not the best guide - The guide had a hard time staying on topic, we missed a lot of current information as he went on and on about the past, when we asked for more info, he said there isn't time. The trainees on the tour were more helpful, it may be time Rick retires.

Unfortunate experience - My review is based on my husband's and my experience at the Landmark West Walking Tour on Sept. 13, 2025, with the tour guide at that time. We have lived in St. Louis for over 20 years and are familiar with the building,s but we wanted to learn about their architecture as advertised. Our guide introduced himself as a retired history teacher who taught at a local catholic private school. During the tour, it was evident that he did not know much about the architecture of the buildings, and knew more about the history of St. Louis. He pointed out buildings by name and would very briefly talk about the history of the building, but not about their architecture. In fact, I had to ask him to talk about the architecture, but his knowledge was evidently very limited. He seemed to know more of the city's history after he repeatedly pointed to the Stifel Theater as Kiel Auditorium without explaining that the building has been called Stifel Theater since 2018. In fact, Kiel auditorium closed its doors in 1991 and sat empty for 2 decades, re-opened as Peabody Opera House before it became Stifel Theater in 2018 - a fact our guide failed to mention. Beyond the guide's lack of knowledge about the building's architecture, he would also rant about his political and religious beliefs and ideologies, which were highly inappropriate for the tour. He also talked about his racial biases when he referred to St. Louis as a Catholic City that changed gears to accept refugee muslims - again, highly inappropriate! This is supposed to be about the architecture of landmark buildings. I had heard some really good things about this tour from friends, and we decided to try it out for ourselves. We left the tour after only about an hour when we realized our tour guide was not knowledgeable about the architecture and was more apt to rant about his political and religious beliefs. I'm sure this company has other tour guides who are more knowledgeable and better trained.
