Just like the story our guides share about St. Louis’ rich history dating to 1764, Destination St. Louis has a story...here’s ours…
After six years in Washington, DC, operating a guide service business, founder Julie Greenspoon sold her company in 1989 and moved to town to marry a local St. Louisan. She started Destination St. Louis as a two-person office operating out of a spare bedroom. The hiring of employee number 3 forced a move to a “real” office in 1996. Continued growth required more space. In 2001, we moved into our own building; in 2006 we bought the neighbor’s building and constructed a bridge connectng the sales and operations departments; creating the “World Headquarters” you see today.
Angie Weigel, President, joined Julie in 1999 and celebrates more than 30 years in the industry. If there ever was a child prodigy in our industry, Angie fits the bill. Born with the passion required she worked as a teenager on the sightseeing riverboats. Over the next 18 years, Julie and Angie expanded and fine-tuned the business. Never saying no to a new challenge, the business and staff grew…and grew…and grew from two to a twelve person full-time staff with more than 125 on-site staff.
