Excellent tour with sights and history - We really enjoyed the West Walking Tour - so much that we plan to book the East Walking Tour next season. Our guide, Rick, provided us with a great narrative of the history of Downtown St. Louis while also encouraging questions and additional commentary. We appreciated his group discussion approach, making the experience less of a lecture and more of a conversation. Thank you for a great experience!

Take this tour! - Sharron and Warren are great! Entertaining, knowledgeable and a hoot to be around. This tour is better for locals than tourists in my opinion.

A Feast of Architecture, Public Art and History - What a wonderful experience! My wife and I have lived here almost all our lives but we still learned a lot, and came away with inspirations for learning and experiencing even more. Saint Louis has some truly spectacular architecture, and this tour is a great introduction to an area of the city that's experiencing growth and renewal. Our guide, Charles L, was friendly and very knowledgeable; our city is lucky to have volunteer ambassadors like him. Whether you're visiting for a few days or you've lived here forever, this tour is highly recommended!

STL History Hiding in Plain Sight - You’ll learn lots of colorful stuff! Warren and Sharon are great guides and relate the human stories behind the quirky physical spaces of STL.

No show - The guide never showed up. No one at Landmarks picked up the phone. No response on the Viator message. A dozen ppl waited half an hour for nothing.

The Guide Was a No-Show! - A Total Disaster! The guide never showed up! The 10 people who signed up for the tour were left high and dry. When we called the office to find out if the guide was coming, no one answered the phone. We were ignored and abandoned. As I write this review the following day, I still have not received any communication from guide.
