St louis missouri guides

St. Louis was founded by French migrants in 1764, but forty years later America bought the city as part of the Louisiana Purchase. A century after that, St. Louis hosted the World's Fair and Summer Olympics in the same year - not a bad ROI. Take a private St. Louis tour and explore this buzzing city with a local guide. Nestled in the confluence of the Missouri and the Mississippi, this city loves its river views - the most iconic being from Gateway Arch. Snap photos, then descend and head to Campbell House museum before touring Emmanuel DeHodiamont house. Even non-military types will appreciate a visit to Jefferson Barracks. A guide is invaluable, as you'll cover 200 years of history in an afternoon. Build in 1826, it hosted troops heading to war with Mexico, treated injured soldiers during the Civil War, and housed new recruits during the world wars. Seeking rhythm and/or blues? Your guide can suggest local venues for everything from toe-tapping ragtime to experimental jazz.
