A Taste of Two Cities: Food + History Tour of STL Past + Present

Join a native historian & raconteur on a leisurely 2 mile walk through St. Louis' fabulous Central West End while nibbling on uniquely St. Louis treats from its most chic and enduring neighborhood. On this tour, you'll hear the good, bad, and ugly* history that created the city you see today + all the Dad jokes you can stomach at no extra charge. St. Louis was the fourth largest city in the US and brimming with Gilded Age wealth when the globally significant 1904 World's Fair happened right next door. Here you'll see grand hotels + mansions that once hosted royalty within view of the nearby Delmar Divide - a socioeconomic consequence of self-inflicted wounds that have made modern St. Louis a place where we grieve communities lost and aspire to replant communities of mutual aid and support like those that once thrived nearby. *TRIGGER WARNING: historical events regarding race and social justice are covered.

Q&A

Q: Are there any age restrictions for the food tour in St. Louis?

A: There aren't any strict age restrictions for this tour, so it's great for all ages! Just keep in mind that it involves walking about 2 miles, so younger kids might need to be carried or have a stroller. It might be good for tweens and up to get the most out of the historical tidbits shared.

Q: What should I wear for the St. Louis food tour? Is it casual?

A: Definitely keep it casual! Comfortable walking shoes are a must since you'll be on your feet for a while. Lightweight clothing is also a good idea, especially if it's warm. A hat and sunscreen can help too if it's sunny. They'll provide cooling towels, but it's best to come prepared!

Q: Is it possible to reschedule the food tour if plans change?

A: Yes, you can reschedule! Just make sure to give a heads-up to the provider as soon as you know. They're generally pretty flexible about changing dates, as long as you notify them ahead of time. It's best to check their policy when you book, so you're clear on any timeframes.

Thinking of gifting the St. Louis food and history tour!

Hey everyone! I'm considering gifting the 'A Taste of Two Cities' tour to my foodie friend who also loves history. It sounds like such a unique experience, especially with the local treats included! Has anyone done this tour? How was the food? Are the historics parts engaging? I'm a little worried about the heat and how much walking is involved.

Anyone else love the dad jokes during the STL food tour?

Just got back from the St. Louis food and history tour and wow, I wasn’t expecting to laugh so much! The guide was a riot with the dad jokes. The history was deep but super engaging. I loved learning about the World's Fair and then munching on local favorites! Perfect combo. Anyone else feel the same?
