Our tour guide never showed! SeeSight changed our reservation time without my knowledge, so we didn’t have a tour, and I am having trouble getting a refund! So not a good experience!😳

Just wanted to let it be known that I had a great tour experience. It was raining all day and I was in a lonely tour group of one, all by myself. I don't know when I'll ever be in St. Louis again so I was

It's a genuinely nice tour with a good bit of walking. Our guide was knowledgeable but wish he managed time a bit better. Would have enjoyed more time in old capital building and at the Arch Museum.
