Melissa our guide for BEST of ST LOUIS SMALL GROUP TOUR with St Louis Arch and River Cruise on 01 May 2025 was awesome. The key to her success was the personal touch. Our group size was three. My wife and I were personally escorted to the listed sites such as the Arch, the River Cruise, the Church. In addition she drove us around the down town area so we could have an idea of other interesting sites in St Louis not even listed on the map. Melissa works as a summer Park Ranger and is a native of St Louis. Her breath of knowledge was amazing. At least six of the sites Melissa showed us we later over the next four days we visted on our own. Highly recommend this personal tour and Melissa.
