    The tour was amazing. We...

    The tour was amazing. We learned a ton of history we were not aware of and gave us insight into the inner workings of early America and the mafia.

    Time travel

    It was a beautiful day to walk around old St. Louis and time travel to the past of some infamous and famous people and their adventures. Tim did a wonderful job describing what you don't normally find in the history books. Even our 17 year old grandson enjoyed it. Thank you Tim for a blast from the past.

    Not Your “Typical” Tour

    This was one of the most interesting tours I’ve been on and Tim does a great job presenting it! It’s about an hour’s worth of walking through one of St. Louis oldest and perhaps most beautiful neighborhoods. I would highly recommend this tour.

    Very interesting tour!

    Wear tennis shoes....lots of uneven walkways. In summer mo that definitely wear sunscreen and a hat. Tim, the tour guide, is super nice, great sense of humor, and so knowledgeable of St. Louis murder and mayhem history!

    This tour is interesting...

    This tour is interesting and informative. Unlike a lot of true crime content, the guide makes an effort to be both respectful and historically accurate. Covers a wide range of topics. A great way to learn about St. Louis History.

    St. Louis True Crime Tour: Soulard’s Murders, Mafia & Mayhem: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for St Louis.

    How much does St. Louis True Crime Tour: Soulard’s Murders, Mafia & Mayhem cost?

    +

    Prices start at $30 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 St. Louis True Crime Tour: Soulard’s Murders, Mafia & Mayhem take?

    +

    Plan for about 1 hour 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 St. Louis True Crime Tour: Soulard’s Murders, Mafia & Mayhem worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 85 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 84 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 St. Louis True Crime Tour: Soulard’s Murders, Mafia & Mayhem?

    +

    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 St. Louis True Crime Tour: Soulard’s Murders, Mafia & Mayhem suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book St. Louis True Crime Tour: Soulard’s Murders, Mafia & Mayhem?

    +

    Around 29 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 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does St. Louis True Crime Tour: Soulard’s Murders, Mafia & Mayhem 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, Private Tour of St. Louis's Iconic BBQ Joints & Breweries, StL's Signature "Sights and Bites" - Private Tour in St. Louis. 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.
