How do I create a title name for this- - So while we were in St Louis, we went to the arch. The museum was great! I was scared going down the arch. Oh and inside the arch it’s like the ground will just collapse under your feet. Oh and there was the lady from probably England or something and she was afraid of loud sounds AND heights AND things that shake- GURL WAS DYING IN THE CARS- but it was great the museum was cool and I got a Gateway arch thingy and waterbottle.

St Louis Arch and small group walking tour - What a wonderful tour. Our tour guide Melissa was phenomenal and exceptionally knowledgeable of St Louis. She gave us a lot of good tips about restaurants and other things to see and do.

Very informative and diverse tour of downtown St Louis - We really enjoyed most of this tour. Our walking guide Mark was excellent and very knowledgeable about downtown St Louis, particularly the architecture and history of the area. Touring the Gateway Arch and riding the tram to the top was well worth the time and expense. I'd highly recommend the 35 minute movie in the visitor's center on the construction of the arch, which was not part of this tour package but really informative and makes you appreciate the talent and hard work of so many in planning and constructing the arch. The "weakest" part of this tour package was the riverboat cruise. Overall, however, I highly recommend this tour, it was nice having someone take care of all the tickets to do the activities on this diverse tour and all we had to do was show up.

Impressive - Visiting my mother-in-law, here near St Louis, so a visit to the arch was obviously on the agenda. The weather was great, so we were able to take very nice pictures of this impressive monument. Unfortunately, we didn't go upstairs, since my wife is afraid of heights.

Once and Done! - My wife and I ike to travel with Christian Tours out of Newton, NC. We opted for their River Ramblings tour which included a trip to the Arch. This is something we looked forrward too. Arch is an engineering marvel! We were a little dispointed though. The pods which take you up are small and cramped (5 peope capacity). The trip to the top is short, but your time to look out the slit windows of the Arch leaves much to be desired. You can only spend a limited amount of time (about 5 minutes) and the viewing platform can get vey crowed. Overalll, it was very interesting, but something we have done and will not do again. PS... not handicap friendly.

Buy tram tickets before going - Sadly we were unable to take the tram tour because the previous week it broke down while running, but we did get to tour the museum, lovely grounds and did the river cruise. Nice way to spend a few hours.
