Have done running tours in Philadelphia and it's a great way to see the sights on foot. I'm glad when major cities offer such a tour. Food tours, mural arts, walking are all great too but running was my chance to take a break midweek from the sciencing and networking. Joe had several tours available on the weekends but I was able to do one on a Wednesday evening as part of the summer schedule. As I caught a Lyft from St. Charles during rush hour to the meeting spot at Kierney Plaza, Joe was understanding if I was a little late start. Turns out I was the only runner signed up so it became more like a personalized tour. What I loved was hearing Joe's vast knowledge of St. Louis along the way, and his passion for running. He even carried a camera and took photos throughout. Of course we stopped at the arch, but also Lacledes Landing, the riverfront, bridge, Lewis and Clark statue, the ballpark, Citygarden sculptures, City Museum, and other neat houses/buildings even after the sun went down. The price for the downtown tour included the photos (via Dropbox), bottled water and a t-shirt. I forget the exact distance but the pace was comfortable enough for conversation. Had fun out on the road, exploring! There's a lot to be said about opting for the active, outdoor, fun option while traveling for conferences. Happy to have chosen the road less traveled! There was a brief hiatus in September but regular tours should be back.

The store was located close to "home" and I fell in love with one of the travel agents, Carrie Willard. Carrie is highly knowledgeable in all facets of travel, including up & coming hot spots, secret tips within the industry, and safety regulations to ALL places I've considered over the years. Still to this day, I reach out to Carrie when in need of travel advice. She is ultimately the first "vendor" I established a long-life loyalty with at the ripe age of 17. Still to this day, now at 27 years old, I trust her whole-heartedly... even if I can't book every trip I inquire about! Honestly people, if you're looking for natural efficiency & effort in planning all your travel needs, look no further! And this goes for out of towners too! Currently living in Denver (and just sending a friend living in Nashville to her as well), Carrie's service has no limitations to distance. No pun intended!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Not a hotel guest review…read more I went to the space for a community event and did not spend a night in the hotel portion so I cannot give it a full 5 stars - yet. The large gallery was a love letter to women as the showrooms highlighted women's art, women's pain, and women's pride. While at the event I was able to take my time reviewing the pieces in detail and without rush. The best part is the gallery is free. The event space we were in hosted about 100 people it seemed and had room for a DJ and buffet style food offering. Great for small weddings and other celebrations. Now accessibility was lacking. The front entrance for step-less entry can be missed on first glance. I am grateful the valet attendant showed me the proper entrance that led to a elevator to get to the main lobby. While on my event floor, the family restroom was out of order and that was the most accessible restroom and then when entering the women's restroom, the accessible stall was also out of order so finding another family style access accessible restroom led me to go on a hunt down to the main lobby floor and down the hallway to a corner so points deducted.

If sitting outside, there are plastic lawn chairs you can move around to get your preferred view. The tour could be a little difficult to hear at times (even though i was trying to sit close to a speaker) but what I did hear provided interesting details about the St Louis riverfront downtown area that you won't learn during a visit to the Arch. Of course you'll also receive a gorgeous view of the arch from the river as you pass by it. If you have the time and you're there to do the whole Gateway Arch experience this is a can't miss!
