We had a wonderful time with our tour guide Sasha. She was extremely knowledgeable of San Antonio, Alamo and Texas. Would love to do another tour with her.
Sasha will be so happy to hear this! We’re glad her knowledge of San Antonio, the Alamo, and Texas made the tour wonderful
Doesn’t necessarily hit the food items listed by Viator. Dylan was our tour guide. Very knowledgeable about the history of the city. Curated a tour with stops at most historic restaurants. Great food. We were very full, but not stuffed. Highly recommend.
Dylan will appreciate the kind words, and it’s great that his knowledge and curated stops made for such a satisfying experience.
We really enjoyed the food tour. Warren was knowledgeable and took us to a few places to try a variety of things. I think the time was perfect as it allowed us to continue to explore before we went to the Spurs game later that evening. I would recommend it if you like walking, which we do.
A food tour before a game sounds like the perfect combo 🍽️ Warren will be happy to hear you enjoyed the variety of stops and the timing worked out so well for you.
Dylan was a very knowledgeable tour guide. Got to experience San Antonio through a variety of delicious foods, and a history of the river walk as well. Highly recommend this tour. Plus a good amount of exercise to burn off the food.
What a fun way to explore San Antonio! Dylan will love hearing this—great to know you enjoyed the food,
Dylan met us in a very convenient place where we started our walk. Dylan provided interesting historical information and the restaurants we visited were very good. The food was varied so it kept everything interesting.
Thank you so much for the kind words! 😊We’re also happy the restaurant selection and variety of food kept things exciting. Thanks again for joining us
Be prepared to eat...a lot! The first stop is so yummy that it's hard not to fill up on great Mexican food. The walk down the Riverwalk is much needed to help settle the food. I highly recommend this tour and Denise. She made it a lot of fun and all the stops were all fantastic.
Had a great time and Dylan was a wonderful guide - he added so much historical background about San Antonio. The food choices were varied and tasty!
Dylan loves sharing the rich stories of San Antonio, and pairing that with varied, tasty food stops makes the experience even better. Thanks for the kind words, and we’d love to have you back for another adventure! 🌆
The tour was absolutely delightful! The food was great, and Warren, our tour guide, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. I strongly recommend this tour!
This food tour was so fun. There was so much delicious food to eat. Sasha, our guide was so informative and great. We learned so many fun facts and history about San Antonio.
