Overview

  • Join a area local in the Central West End and enjoy “A Taste of Two Cities”, a curated sampling of hidden gems and only-in-STL eats like toasted ravioli, gooey butter cake, and the perennially controversial Provel cheese. Most guests skip dinner.

    In between, you'll enjoy an easy 2-mile walk accompanied by sights and tales of two distinct eras of St. Louis' (and American) history.

    The first, one of opulent Gilded-Age wealth culminating in a globally-attended showcase of human achievement in 1904 - a World's Fair we still won't shut up about.

    And the second - a less-spoken-of chapter of self-inflicted wounds that would create the Delmar Divide and come to a head when the Black Lives Matter movement is born in nearby Ferguson in 2014.

    “A balanced view of history. No punches pulled. Every part is human, beautiful and ugly.” — ahunkins, Minneapolis MN

    “I always book a walking history/food tour in every city I visit, and this was hands down the best.” — Kelly E.
