Just did the Gateway Arch audio tour and it was amazing!

I recently took the self-guided audio tour at the Gateway Arch and wow, it was so informative! The stories about the Old Courthouse were really captivating. Plus, I could go at my own pace, which was great since I wanted to snap some photos along the way. Highly recommend it for anyone visiting St. Louis, especially since it’s free! Just make sure to download the app first. Anyone else had a similar experience?
