Alamo, oprindeligt det 18. århundrede spanske mission San Antonio de Valero, er en førende Texas historiske sted beliggende i San Antonio. Det er berømt for slaget ved Alamo i 1836, hvor næsten 200 texanske forsvarere - herunder Davy Crockett og Jim Bowie - blev besejret af mexicanske styrker, hvilket blev et varigt symbol på mod og uafhængighed.
San Antonio River Walk (Paseo del Rio) begyndte som et oversvømmelseskontrolprojekt efter en ødelæggende oversvømmelse i 1921, der udviklede sig til en ikonisk urban park designet af arkitekt Robert H.H. Hugman for at fremhæve Spansk arv. Officielt afsluttet i 1941, 15 kilometer netværk af stier og kanaler er blevet Texas 'top turistmål

Det blev færdigbygget i 1755, det tjente som den oprindelige forsamling for området, var vært for Jim Bowie's bryllup i 1832, tjente som et kig under slaget ved Alamo i 1836, og menes at holde resterne af Alamo forsvarere.

Det er inden for gåafstand til de fleste downtown hoteller.
Arneson River Theater er et udendørs forestillingsteater beliggende på San Antonio River Walk i den amerikanske delstat Texas. Det åbne sted blev opført 1939 - 1941 af Works Progress Administration. Designet blev overvåget af arkitekt Robert H.H. - Hugman. Det er opkaldt efter Edwin P. Arneson, den regionale ingeniør for W.P.A., der var med til at sikre finansiering af Paseo del Rio. Arneson døde, inden byggeriet begyndte. Mange år senere blev der tilføjet klokker til buerne bag scenen, som Hugman havde designet, og de blev opkaldt efter ham. I en forsinket ceremoni, "Fader af floden Walk" ringede klokkerne for første gang, to år før hans død.
Tower of the Americas er en 750-fod (229-meter) observationstårn-restaurant beliggende i distriktet Hemisfair i den sydøstlige del af Downtown San Antonio, Texas, USA. Tårnet blev designet af San Antonio arkitekt O'Neil Ford og blev bygget som tema struktur af 1968 World's Fair, HemisFair '68. Oprindeligt kendt som 'HemisFair Tower', blev det i sidste ende kaldt 'Tårnet af Amerikas' som et resultat af en navne-tårnet konkurrence skabt af den udøvende komité. 68 personer indgav det navn, som tårnet nu er kendt for.
Alamodome er et indendørs multi-purpose stadion med 64.000 sæder i San Antonio, Texas. Det ligger på den sydøstlige kant af downtown San Antonio. Anlægget blev åbnet den 15. maj 1993, efter at have været bygget med en omkostning på 186 millioner dollars. Multifunktionsfaciliteten var beregnet til at øge byens konferencetrafik og tiltrække en professionel fodbold franchise. Det tilfredsstilte også San Antonio Spurs' krav til en større arena. Spurs spillede i Alamodome i et årti, derefter blev skuffet over faciliteten og overtalte Bexar County til at bygge en ny arena for dem, nu kaldet Frost Bank Center. Alamodome's regelmæssige lejer er i øjeblikket UTSA Roadrunners. De seneste lejere omfatter San Antonio Commanders af Alliance of American Football, San Antonio Brahmas af United Football League, og San Antonio Talons af Arena Football League.

I didn’t know what to expect when my Dad had me book this tour but I am glad we did. The gentlemen were very kind and generous. Very knowledgeable. This is a perfect tour for any history buff! I learned stuff I never knew about the Alamo before. Also they took us around different areas and talked to us about the history behind it. I didn’t take many pictures because I was focused on listening but seeing older buildings along the way was so much fun!
Not the best city tour I have been on. Definitely not luxury.

If you are interested in learning about the entire history of the San Antonio area from the time the Spanish explorers and missionaries named it in 1691 until the present, this is the tour for you. We were fortunate to have been the only people on the tour the day we went and to have had two great historians for tour guides. Tom had not only retired from working for the National Park Service at the Alamo, but was also an archaeologist. Dan was an expert on the more recent history of the area. Either one of them could give a great tour on their own. We had picked up bits and pieces about the area and some of its history from having visited the Alamo and taken the cruise on the river the day before, but this tour put it all in chronological and historical perspective. This tour is very reasonably priced and customizable to your needs by allowing you to choose a 1, 2, or 3 hour tour. We did the 3 hours and were very glad we did because of the number of places we were able to see beyond just the Alamo and the Riverwalk. You may not get the private tour we enjoyed, but the maximum number of people is 13 so it will always allow for a more personalized experience with time for individual questions.
Tom is very knowledgeable, friendly n funny so I would definitely recommend to get real understanding regarding the Alamo!!
Our guide, Tom, was truly exceptional! A historian with an incredible depth of knowledge. He didn’t just give surface-level information; he answered every single question we had with detailed, thoughtful explanations that made the history feel alive and meaningful. You can tell he’s genuinely passionate about what he does, and it made a huge difference in the overall experience. The sights themselves were fascinating and full of character, offering a great mix of history, culture, and local charm. Every stop felt interesting and worthwhile, and we never felt rushed. This tour was honestly the perfect way to explore San Antonio. It gave us a comprehensive look at the city while still allowing time to take everything in. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an engaging, informative, and enjoyable experience!
Our family took a trip to San Antonio for our daughter’s spring break, and one thing we were looking forward to the most was learning the history of the area. We booked a private tour, with Tom as our guide, and had an amazing time! Not only was he knowledgeable, and passionate about San Antonio’s great history; but he constantly joked with our daughter to keep her engaged with the history that is not taught in our schools up north. We had to make a few detours due to Fiesta Week, and we trusted him wholeheartedly to make those decisions, and provide us with the best possible experience. If you are looking to take a walk through history, and have some amusing anecdotes along the way, Tom is your guy! Thank you for making our trip as memorable as possible!
Delightful walking and van tour of historic San Antonio with Tom. My tour was 3 hours and covered the Alamo, Riverwalk, German House area, The Pearl and driving through areas I wish to revisit!
Incredible day in San Antonio. Highly recommend everyone . Five star all around. Great company, great service incredible guide
