Step by Step
On this crime tour of St. Louis you will immerse yourself in the Soulard neighbourhood and travel back to the darkest part of its past. Throughout the approximately one-hour walking tour, an expert local guide will give you an in-depth account of the events that took place among its picturesque streets.
Soulard is known today as one of the city's liveliest neighbourhoods, filled with live music bars and simple restaurants. In the past, however, it has been the scene of some of the most lurid headlines.
You'll pass the Soulard Farmers Market, the oldest public market on the west side of the Mississippi River, and get an up-close look at the dozens of historic homes in the neighbourhood. Throughout the tour you'll discover the more lurid details gleaned from the headlines:
- Bank robberies
- Election riots
- Bloody duels
- Sociopathic midwives
The neighbourhood is also home to the second largest Mardi Gras celebration in the United States. As such, drinking alcoholic beverages on the street is permitted. During the walk, you'll stop at the main bars in the area, where you can order a drink to go and enjoy it on the promenade.
