What you'll see and do
Basilica of Saint Louis, King of France
Visitors can tour the museum inside this slice of history. It’s a true St. Louis treasure, with a surprising connection to Sacagawea and the Lewis and Clark expedition, and it has witnessed generations of riverfront culture.
10 minutes here
Visit the original site of the 1904 St. Louis Fair at this peaceful pool nestled inside Forest Park. Marvel at eight lit fountains spraying high into the air with Art Hill in the background - making this the perfect spot for some group photos of your trip!
10 minutes here
Old Courthouse
Your gateway into the Gateway Arch National Park - and home to one of the most infamous court cases in American history. The story of how this building nearly got torn down is just as gripping as the trials held inside it.
10 minutes here
Saint Louis Art Museum
One of the city's crown jewels - wander the outdoor Sculpture Garden, hunt for ancient treasures like a Sumerian Bull inside world-class galleries, and don't miss the towering bronze King Louis IX statue with a surprisingly entertaining backstory about how the city got it made for half price.
10 minutes here
St. Louis Zoo
Born from the 1904 World's Fair and too good to let go - the St. Louis Zoo is home to red pandas, giraffes, hippos, otters and more, and it's completely free to enter. Plan to come back after the tour though, because this place easily swallows a couple of hours.
10 minutes here
The Gateway Arch
The marvel of modern engineering that gave St. Louis its nickname “Gateway to the West,” we’ll explore the museum at the Arch and the riverfront Park surrounding it. Make time to take the tram ride to the top and see the city view from 630 feet up!

Why this scores 53
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Self Guided Walk & Drive Audio Tour St. Louis & Gateway Arch NP: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for St Louis.
How much does Self Guided Walk & Drive Audio Tour St. Louis & Gateway Arch NP cost?
+
Prices start at $15 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in St Louis usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Self Guided Walk & Drive Audio Tour St. Louis & Gateway Arch NP take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in St Louis is not rushed.
Is Self Guided Walk & Drive Audio Tour St. Louis & Gateway Arch NP worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in St Louis, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Self Guided Walk & Drive Audio Tour St. Louis & Gateway Arch NP?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Self Guided Walk & Drive Audio Tour St. Louis & Gateway Arch NP suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Self Guided Walk & Drive Audio Tour St. Louis & Gateway Arch NP?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in St Louis can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in St Louis and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Self Guided Walk & Drive Audio Tour St. Louis & Gateway Arch NP start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central St Louis within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in St Louis?
+
St Louis leads with Gateway Arch tram rides and riverboat cruises, then brewery tours, Forest Park museums, City Museum visits and Route 66 history runs. Arch tram tickets are timed entry, so we weight tours that secure them. On Outty we rank every St Louis experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Lemp Haunted Neighborhood Walking Tour, St. Louis True Crime Tour: Soulard’s Murders, Mafia & Mayhem, Private Tour of St. Louis's Iconic BBQ Joints & Breweries. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit St Louis?
+
April to June and September to October. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in St Louis?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
