Explore St. Louis
Begin at Gateway Arch National Park, home to one of the most recognizable landmarks in the United States. The walking experience introduces the history behind the Gateway Arch and its connection to St. Louis’ role in westward expansion. As you explore the park, take in views of the Mississippi River and surrounding downtown area while learning more about the monument and the development of the city.
The St. Louis experience continues by car, taking you through downtown and toward Forest Park. One of the city’s largest green spaces, Forest Park is home to attractions including museums and a zoo, providing plenty of opportunities to extend your visit beyond the tour route.
The driving portion offers a convenient way to connect different parts of the city while adding historical context to the locations along the way.
Discover Kansas City
Continue your Midwest exploration with a walking tour through Kansas City. Known for its distinctive architecture, barbecue traditions, music heritage, and colorful history, the city offers plenty to discover beyond its modern reputation.
The tour introduces stories from different periods of Kansas City’s development, including the rise of the Garment District and the city's former industrial activity.
Along the route, learn about political and criminal figures whose activities became part of Kansas City history, including stories involving a local racketeer and connections to national politics.
The experience also explores unusual episodes from the city’s past, including the story of its early firefighting competitions, adding a lighter and more unexpected element to the historical journey.
A Flexible Way to Explore
The self-guided format allows you to decide how much time to spend at each location. Pause to take photographs, explore a museum, grab a meal, or visit an attraction before continuing.
The combination of walking and driving makes the St. Louis experience especially adaptable, while the Kansas City tour provides an easy way to explore the city center on foot.
