Q&A

Q: Is there a lot of walking involved on the Landmarks Downtown-West Walking Tour?

A: Yes, this tour involves quite a bit of walking. Expect to be on your feet for about 2-3 hours, covering various landmarks like Union Station and the City Hall. It's best suited for those who are comfortable with moderate physical activity. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes! You’ll be stopping at multiple points for talks about St. Louis history and architecture.

Q: Are kids allowed on the tour? What age do you think is best?

A: Yes, kids can definitely join! While there's no strict age limit, I’d say it’s best for ages 8 and up since they’ll be able to understand the history better. Make it a family day out! Just be mindful that younger kids might get tired. It's a good idea to bring snacks and maybe a stroller if you have little ones.

Q: What should I wear for the walking tour? Any specific recommendations?

A: Definitely opt for comfortable clothing and shoes! The weather can change quickly, so check the forecast. If it might rain, bring a light rain jacket. Also, don’t forget sun protection if it’s a sunny day! Layers are a good idea too, as some buildings might be colder inside.
