The owner, Corey is so professional and accommodating, he got me to speed on flying on U.S. National Airspace, he also helped me brush off some rust on my stick and rudder skills (its been 7 months since the last time I flew). It was a joy flying with him, the same with instructors Josh and Ken (Yo, shout out to you guys!). Ken whom by the way have more number of flight experience than you can shake a stick at! St. Louis Flight Training Center is nothing like some training center, here the atmosphere is friendly and comfortable - conducive to learning. Whenever I will be around St. Louis, I look forward to fly with them again, and so I will definitely recommend them. Oh and by the way the personnel at the FBO - they are also helpful and friendly too.

Great tour to take to learn about St Louis sites quickly I…read morerecently took the St. Louis Trolley Tour, and I highly recommend it. We parked across the street from the Four Seasons Hotel and the bus picked us up right in their covered driveway. The trolley itself is fantastic. It has the charming, classic look of an old-fashioned trolley but with modern upgrades that make a big difference. It had excellent air conditioning and a high-quality sound system so you could hear the driver. The ride was smooth and comfortable, even on some of the older city streets. Our driver was outstanding. He handled the tour beautifully, especially considering the fact that I am fairly certain that we had to take a completely different route because a sinkhole had opened up downtown that day. Despite the detour, he never missed a beat. His narration was engaging, informative, and full of details about the city's history and landmarks as we passed them by. He made the whole experience fun and enjoyable. The route took us through Forest Park, one of the highlights of the tour. We passed by the St. Louis Zoo and several other beautiful areas within the park. Our driver even stopped for about five minutes in front of the museum, where we were able to enjoy the excellent views across the park. It was a perfect little break in the tour. After leaving Forest Park, we wound our way back through the city, traveling through Midtown and seeing many of St. Louis's other notable sights to include a beautiful church. Overall, it was a very well-run, informative, and enjoyable tour. The combination of the comfortable trolley, excellent driver, and beautiful route made it one of the best city tours we've taken. I would definitely do it again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting St. Louis.

I had booked a 1:30 cruise after a 10:30 Arch tram to make sure we could eat in between and that was way too much time. We were lucky enough to get on the noon cruise with an easy exchange at the ticket booth here and that was fantastic! The cruise guide is not corny at all and gives a good balance between history and current event information on the ride. There isn't a whole lot to actually see and this is a straight river, so you just go down and back, but the hour is just enough time and the weather was lovely. They also let you bring anything you bought to eat or drink at their stand onboard and you can get drinks and snacks on the second level as well. My tweens liked it - and loved the popcorn, so it was a win-win! And they also do the obligatory souvenir photos - $35 for a bunch and a digital link too isn't bad.

A Hidden Jewel in St. Louis - Don't Miss the Magic Chef Mansion!…read more What a historic gem! The Magic Chef Mansion is one of St. Louis' most stunning and best-kept secrets. If you haven't taken a tour, you are truly missing out. This architectural treasure offers a glimpse into another era--where craftsmanship, elegance, and timeless beauty meet. What makes it even more special is the incredible care and devotion of Shelly, the current owner and resident. It's amazing how she has lovingly restored the entire interior, tracking down original furniture, lighting fixtures, and period-appropriate details to bring this mansion back to its former glory. What an act of love--and one that every visitor can feel the moment they walk through the doors. Every room is a story, and the guided tour is filled with fascinating history, local lore, and exquisite details. Whether you're a St. Louis native or a visitor, this is an experience that belongs at the top of your list. The Magic Chef Mansion isn't just a tour--it's a living, breathing piece of art and history. Don't miss the chance to be a part of it.

Do Not Recommend - Extremely Unprofessional Experience…read more I reserved Claddagh Carriage Company for my daughter's senior prom. On April 9, 2025, Shannon Nickless requested a $100 deposit, which I promptly paid. On May 7, I sent a reminder text to confirm the booking, as prom was just three days away. On the day of the event, May 10, Shannon called to say he would be 20-30 minutes late. He was originally scheduled to arrive at 7:00 PM. When I called back for an update, he didn't answer. At 7:20 PM, he finally responded, claiming that the horse had thrown a shoe but that he was still coming. Shortly after, another person--who identified himself as Shannon's boss--called to say the carriage was blocked in and they would not be coming at all. This last-minute cancellation completely ruined an important part of my daughter's prom night. I immediately requested a refund, but Shannon has not responded to calls, texts, or emails. As of today, I have received no refund. I recently spoke to another carriage company and was told I'm not the only one who has had a similar experience with Shannon. Based on my experience and what I've heard from others, I do not recommend Claddagh Carriage Company.
