I am a local St. Louisian and took the Downtown East tour to get a close up look at the unique…read morearchitecture in our downtown. Mission accomplished with this tour. There was a lot of information about St. Louis history and culture, not just the usual but also the unusual, which was fun. I would have liked a little more detail about the specific architects and buildings themselves, but there was a lot to get in. The tour lasted exactly 2.5 hours and that was enough. We went to the Hotel St. Louis for lunch afterward so we could spend time in that fantastic art deco space. The restaurant is open breakfast through evening, so it would be a good spot to take a break whenever you might be downtown. The sheer number of truly beautiful historic buildings in downtown St. Louis is so impressive. Yes, some are neglected, but their elegance and scale are stunning. It was interesting to see up close the neighborhood and streets that I read about in the news. I recommend this tour for anyone, but in particular it would be great for locals to take it and see our city for the jewel it is. The walk was easy, the guide (Glenn) was fun and informative, and I was surprised at how spotless downtown is.

Warren and Sharon, our guides, were thorough and enthusiastic and their love of and appreciation for downtown Saint Louis was immediately apparent. Sharon did a fantastic job focusing on the less well-known history of women in downtown Saint Louis (Madame Chateau. Harriet Scott, Sacajawea and Eliza Hat raft, among others). A fantastic way to spend a Saturday morning!

We just pull up the QR code on the phone for the staff to scan. Then was issued our s'more kits at the entrance and went to the s'mores area to roast our marshmallows. There were several fire pits for this. We also got a small Budweiser tour. We saw plenty of lights. We also got our picture take the Clydesdale. The horses were super calm so petting them was also optional. The popcorns taste great. Definitely recommend the popcorns. There were less people so we got to enjoy the scene and the lights a lot more. We spent about an hour here.

At each stop we were given a history of the stop and a recounting of some of the "Hauntings"'that had occurred. We never got to actually see the spaces where, for example, the sightings appeared. "We don't go in there"'or "we can't go in there"'was a common phrase. The tour could have been at least an hour shorter, since the stories all started to sound the same, given that we didn't actually see any of the interiors of the buildings where things supposedly took place, with one exception ( a tunnel used for hiding escaped slaves using the Underground Railroad ). I wouldn't go again unless they change it up and let the group go inside the buildings or rooms. Way too expensive for an evening walk around downtown Alton.

You would think finding a decent ghost tour in STL with all its history would be easy...well, it's…read morenot. For a recent trip I settled on St. Louis Ghost (part of US Ghost Adventures). The website was easy to use and it was easy to fin da convenient time for our trip. The few reviews I was able to find seemed to be decent. I'm not a super experienced ghost tourer but we have been on others- a little spooky and eerie but very informative with great stories. I had hopes this would be similar...it wasn't. It was so terrible we left an hour into the tour which pains me because I even paid for the extended tour but we just couldn't take it anymore. We have literally never done this. We were bored, we were tired, and we both concluded that we weren't learning anything all that interesting to want to spend another hour with a guide that seemed to really not care and would keep complaining about the size of the group. First, the instructions for the meeting spot and how to spot the guide were terrible. We actually ran into others looking for the meeting spot and all managed to find it together. Frustrating start but not the end of the world. Second, the group was HUGE. Like, 30 people. The guide didn't use a mic or any way to amplify his voice but kept commenting how huge the group was like it was a surprise. Which is mind boggling to me because you sign up online so theoretically the size of the group is known. It was way too big. Check in was agonizingly long as well. I was really looking forward to hearing about the cool history and kept my expectations low on the scares. I don't spook easily but I was looking for something my hubby could enjoy as well. I was also trying to keep the cheesy factor to a minimum. The bottom line: the group was too big, the stories were boring and barely stories. There was no interesting build up. Several times the guide said, "Oh, I tried to see if there were any ghost stories on this building but couldn't find any" as we walked by. Like, really? At one point he yelled at a car or some passersby to look up US Ghost Adventures. I was also disappointed that the ending spot of the tour was way far from the starting point- not cool when parking is atrocious. It's not the safest area so I wasn't super keen on having to walk extremely out of our way. I can't recommend this company. Go grab dinner and/or some drinks somewhere fun for the cost of the tickets and I promise you'll enjoy it a lot more. I was so bummed because this was supposed to be a fun surprise activity but it turned out to be one of the biggest disappointments of the trip. Do not recommend at all.
