Explore The Hill, St. Louis's legendary "Little Italy", on a private walking tour through one of the most authentic Italian-American neighborhoods in the US.

Your guide Wayne takes you on a journey of the mom-and-pop shops, bakeries, delis, and restaurants that have made The Hill a food destination for over a century. You will share signature tastings at multiple stops. Think Toasted Ravioli, St. Louis-style pizza, and Gioia's Deli's famous hot salami subs.

Between bites, you'll walk the neighborhood streets and hear the stories of the immigrant families who built The Hill and kept it thriving for generations — from the Italian flag fire hydrants to the bocce courts to the homes that produced baseball legends like Yogi Berra and Joe Garagiola.

This is The Hill the way locals experience it — not from a bus window.

Shared food tastings are included at multiple stops.

Individual drinks and gelato are available for purchase also.
