Fully private, fully customizable tours in St. Louis — plus the top attractions to see, each with its own guide. Tell us what matters to you and we'll build the day around it.
St. Louis sits where the Missouri River meets the Mississippi, a location that made it the historic gateway to the American West — a role the Gateway Arch, the city's defining monument, was built to commemorate. At 630 feet, it's the tallest arch in the world and the tallest man-made monument in the Western Hemisphere, designed by architect Eero Saarinen, with a tram inside that carries visitors up to an observation deck at the top.
Below the Arch, the Mississippi River itself remains central to the city's identity, and a riverboat cruise gives a very different perspective on the skyline and the Arch than viewing it from the ground. Forest Park, the site of the 1904 World's Fair, is larger than New York's Central Park and holds several of the city's major museums and the St. Louis Zoo, all with free admission — a legacy of the fair that St. Louis has maintained ever since.
Downtown around the Arch is compact, but Forest Park sits a few miles west — a private tour lets you combine the riverfront, the Arch, and Forest Park's museums and grounds into a single, well-paced day.
Popular stops our guides build into St. Louis itineraries — tap any attraction to learn more.
April through June and September through October bring St. Louis's most comfortable weather for both the riverfront and Forest Park. Summers are hot and humid, often exceeding 32°C (90°F).
The Gateway Arch and downtown riverfront are walkable together, but Forest Park is several miles west — a private vehicle covers the distance efficiently and gets you to more of the park's museums in a day.
Summers are hot and humid; sun protection matters both downtown and in Forest Park's open grounds. Spring and fall are mild and the most comfortable seasons for a full day outdoors.
The US dollar is used throughout, and 18–20% is standard tipping at restaurants. Contactless card and mobile payment are widely accepted.
Forest Park's major museums, including the St. Louis Art Museum, the Missouri History Museum, and the St. Louis Zoo, offer free general admission — a legacy of the 1904 World's Fair that the city has preserved ever since.
The Gateway Arch's tram to the observation deck can involve a wait at busy times — arriving earlier in the day or booking ahead makes for a shorter line and a cooler ride up in summer.
