I've lived in St. Louis pretty much my whole life, and I didn't know about any of the crimes Tim talked about on this tour. He's a great storyteller, and it was really cool to be standing in the locations where these things happened. I highly recommend this tour, whether you live in St. Louis or are visiting from out of town.

This was a very cool way to spend an hour in Soulard! I went with my mom, adult niece, and 15 year old kid. Definitely not material for younger children, but my 15yo and I kept locking eyes as Tim went through each story; we have some new topics to dig deeper into later around our local history. Tim was a fantastic guide. He’s very engaging and entertaining and the tour felt very respectful of the spaces we were in.

This was a fantastic tour that gave some history that no one in our group had heard about before. It would be a great tour for just about anyone.

Great stories. Well presented. Nice pace. Just the right length, both in walking distance & story interest.

This was a fun tour. The stories were interesting and the historical neighborhood had lovely architecture and a great vibe. I would definitely do it again. Tim really brought the past back to life.

All of the stories were totally new to us, were interesting, and the guide was easygoing and entertaining. Would recommend to locals and out-of-towners alike!

This tour was a fun way to spend time with friends, see part of the Soulard neighborhood and learn about people and dramas of the past in the St.Louis area.

This is my second time taking this tour. I went with my family and had to go again to bring my friends. If you want to learn more about St. Louis crime history, this is so fun. We met in front of Molly's and bought some drinks at the bar for the walk around Soulard. There were 9 people in attendance. It lasted about an hour stopping along the way as they relate to the stories. Tim the guide is so passionate, you can feel it as he tells the background while showing records on his iPad bringing the tales to life. The Lincoln/Shields Bloody Island duel was a highlight, but all the stories were really interesting. Great time and highly recommend!

My 15 year old son and I had a great time on this tour. Our guide was great and seemed very knowledgeable. It ended up only being us on the tour but he still gave the tour like we would have if it were a full group. The only thing I would change- add a murder or two and take out some of the historic crime, or shorten some of it to have room.
Kelly_Z, May 2025
Great stories of local criminals and duels! Time just flew by. It was a bit rainy, but we walked anyway.
LACREATIA_H, Apr 2025
Interesting stories about people, not just a bunch of facts. He even had a lot of pictures to go with the stories.
Scott_V, Mar 2025
The guide was knowledgeable and funny. The stories were great with alot of details and there was even props.
Alaina_Y, Feb 2025
It was a fun jot around citys of st louis while learning new facts about Crime from the early 20th century.
Carla_H, Nov 2024
Great tour to learn new and interesting history about Soulard! Tim really knows his history and does a fantastic job bringing the stories to life!
John_D, Nov 2024
Our tour operator was very experienced, extremely knowledgeable about St. Louis history that he likely independently researched and is not well known, even to locals. Our tour operator was highly professional and really seemed familiar with the Soulard area. There is a great chance that our tour operator is the most interesting person in any room.
Amy_P, Nov 2024
Such a great tour! It was obvious that Tim did a lot of research to include facts into the tour. But don’t think it’s just a boring list of facts…Tim is a great storyteller, and includes photos on his iPad to enhance his stories. Highly recommend for those interested in true crime or history in general!
Lucas_L, Oct 2024
Very entertaining and educational with a fun spooky twist that pulls you in waiting to know more about the history of St. Louis. Tim the tour guide does a great job at capturing your attention and pulling you in.
Tracy_I, Aug 2024
Tim was a great guide! The tour was really enjoyable and informative. It was a fantastic way to enjoy a night out that could include our teenagers. I would recommend it!
Kellie_T, Aug 2024
Great tour! Really enjoyed the stories and walk around the neighborhood. Tim was an amazing guide would highly recommend.
Jennifer_M, Jul 2024
Great guide! Wonderful interesting stories. Great neighborhood. The meeting spot easy to get to and the neighborhood is flourishing. Go to Bogarts for early dinner, then grab a drink beforehand. 😀
Julie_S, Jul 2024
True Crime Waking Tour was a great stroll through some unknown stories of the past. Tim does a great job of bringing the past stories to the present and showing off Soulard at the same time.

I traveled from Portland to STL, meeting up with family friends for my adult daughter’s birthday and included dinner @ Molly’s and this walking tour of the Soulard neighborhood as a surprise present. Despite it being a miserably hot and humid evening, Tim provided our small group with a wonderful hour of fascinating, fun and historically knowledgeable true stories of various crimes that occurred during the prior three centuries. It was great for all of us (none were familiar with St.. Louis) to learn such fun (and oftentimes gory and hilarious) facts about the city and its history. Tim’s presentation was engaging and he had clearly done his research. And somehow, despite dripping humidity, he never seemed to break a sweat! Highly recommend to others.
Paul_D, Jun 2024
Great stories and we enjoyed learning more of the history of St. Louis with Tim. My family had a great time.
Lila_Z, Jun 2024
I learned so many fun facts! St Louis has such a cool (and bloody) history. I’m so glad I did this tour!!
Catherine_B, Jun 2024
Loved this tour. It was extremely interesting and well presented. Tim guided us through an incredible history of true crime in Saint Louis. It was a great evening. Thank you!
