This is the third trip she has coordinated for me and each one has been fantastic.

Answered all questions when I called (and called back and back and back again!). They even called a couple of days before to confirm the reservation. Not only did they provide an affordable room, they treated one adult per room and children under 12 to the buffet breakfast and also gave us, free of charge, one meal (which we had as lunch) and snacks and drinks. To top it off, they allowed us to borrow a microwave and use their freezer! It truly was a saving grace and we wish they were in all states we visit for medical appointments as they made us feel cared for, like we had friends we could ask for help. Cannot thank them or recommend them enough.

Great tour to take to learn about St Louis sites quickly I…read morerecently took the St. Louis Trolley Tour, and I highly recommend it. We parked across the street from the Four Seasons Hotel and the bus picked us up right in their covered driveway. The trolley itself is fantastic. It has the charming, classic look of an old-fashioned trolley but with modern upgrades that make a big difference. It had excellent air conditioning and a high-quality sound system so you could hear the driver. The ride was smooth and comfortable, even on some of the older city streets. Our driver was outstanding. He handled the tour beautifully, especially considering the fact that I am fairly certain that we had to take a completely different route because a sinkhole had opened up downtown that day. Despite the detour, he never missed a beat. His narration was engaging, informative, and full of details about the city's history and landmarks as we passed them by. He made the whole experience fun and enjoyable. The route took us through Forest Park, one of the highlights of the tour. We passed by the St. Louis Zoo and several other beautiful areas within the park. Our driver even stopped for about five minutes in front of the museum, where we were able to enjoy the excellent views across the park. It was a perfect little break in the tour. After leaving Forest Park, we wound our way back through the city, traveling through Midtown and seeing many of St. Louis's other notable sights to include a beautiful church. Overall, it was a very well-run, informative, and enjoyable tour. The combination of the comfortable trolley, excellent driver, and beautiful route made it one of the best city tours we've taken. I would definitely do it again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting St. Louis.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Keirra! She was, without a doubt, one of the kindest,…read moremost gracious, and genuinely helpful people I encountered during my trip. Keirra went far beyond the typical responsibilities of a shuttle driver. She took extra time to help me, even beyond her scheduled shift and normal duties, simply because she wanted to make sure I was taken care of. Her kindness, patience, and willingness to go the extra mile made a lasting impression on me. It's rare to encounter someone who is not only excellent at their job but who genuinely cares about the people they are helping. Keirra made what could have been a stressful situation feel easy and reassuring. I truly hope her management sees this review because employees like Keirra deserve to be recognized and appreciated. She is an absolute asset to the company, and I am incredibly grateful for everything she did for me. Thank you, Keirra, for going above and beyond--you made a real difference in my experience!
