A fun, delicious, informative day
Wayne provided a relaxed, well-paced tour of St Louis. He knew the best timing for arriving at each destination as only a local can do. There were frequent stops and photo opportunities. If convenient parking was not available, he would drop us off and join us after parking. His experience in the hospitality industry showed by anticipating what we would want to know and his evident, casual friendship with servers where we stopped. He offered to pick us up and drop us off at our hotel avoiding the trip to a meeting point which many tours require. He even took pictures of us with his phone and sent them to us at the end of the day.

Exceeding Expectations in St. Louis
Wayne and his tour exceeded all our expectations. His rich knowledge of the history, culture, and food of St. Louis is exceptional. And his super friendly and accommodating personality added immensely to a thoroughly enjoyable tour. This was our first trip to St. Louis and we ended the tour with Wayne with a deep appreciation and respect for this amazing place. The combination of historic and food stops was perfect, allowing us to really absorb things in a few hours. Wayne paced the tour so well and we learned so much from him at every turn. We plan to take another tour with him on our next visit. We recommend Wayne 100% without qualification.
Response from the operator: Thanks so much for the gracious review David. I am so glad you enjoyed your time in The Gateway to the West. We look forward to the next adventure!

StL's Signature "Sights and Bites" - Private Tour in St. Louis: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for St Louis.
How much does StL's Signature "Sights and Bites" - Private Tour in St. Louis cost?
+
Prices start at $175 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 StL's Signature "Sights and Bites" - Private Tour in St. Louis take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 StL's Signature "Sights and Bites" - Private Tour in St. Louis worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 43 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 StL's Signature "Sights and Bites" - Private Tour in St. Louis?
+
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 StL's Signature "Sights and Bites" - Private Tour in St. Louis suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book StL's Signature "Sights and Bites" - Private Tour in St. Louis?
+
Around 15 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does StL's Signature "Sights and Bites" - Private Tour in St. Louis 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.
What is included in StL's Signature "Sights and Bites" - Private Tour in St. Louis?
+
Included: Private transportation; Photography services at all locations; Snacks; Lunch; and Concierge guide services. Not included: Alcoholic beverages; and Carbonated beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does StL's Signature "Sights and Bites" - Private Tour in St. Louis include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 23 listed pickup locations in and around St Louis. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is StL's Signature "Sights and Bites" - Private Tour in St. Louis offered in?
+

+

Is StL's Signature "Sights and Bites" - Private Tour in St. Louis wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
