Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and great at accommodating our family. He kept our attention and made it fun.
Well worth the time! Learned a lot of history and Pete the tour guide was fantastic, engaging and educational. We learned a lot and were glad we went
We loved to hear the unique historical information on the tour. Rene did an excellent job navigating our small group on the tour
Rene guiding a small group through that kind of rich and unique history sounds like an ideal way to really soak it all in! 🗺️
We started with a tour around the Alamo and some surrounding famous historical hotels. Our tour guide Alfred was very knowledgeable and helpful. We then ended up with a river cruise along the Riverwalk area. Highly recommend this tour!
Alfred setting the scene at the Alamo and finishing off with the Riverwalk cruise sounds like the perfect San Antonio experience from start to finish! 🛶
Tristan was a great guide - interesting stories and a fun tour! I would highly recommend this if you are visiting San Antonio.
Tristan's stories and fun energy clearly made San Antonio come alive, a perfect introduction to the city! 🤠
Warren our tour guide was great!!! He pointed out the interest areas and was quite knowledgable on all the surrounding landmarks on our tour. Enjoyed the day-although it was super hot- still had a great time!
Warren keeping the energy and knowledge going even through the heat says a lot about him! Powering through a scorching day and still having a great time is no small thing. ☀️
Tour guide was awesome, but wish the walking part didn’t cover some of the same attractions that the Riverwalk Cruise did.
Really glad the guide made such a strong impression! The feedback about the walking route and cruise overlapping is genuinely useful and worth passing on so the itinerary can be looked at with fresh eyes. 😊
Austin was a great tour guide, easy to be with, knowledgeable and fun! Just the right amount of walking tour followed by nice river cruise tour
Austin striking that perfect balance between the walking tour and the river cruise while keeping it fun and easy the whole way through sounds like a great day out! ⛵
We had a very nice time with Dylan as our guide. Super nice guy and very knowledgeable on all things San Antonio. We both learned a lot about local history and toured some very cool off the beaten path areas of the city. We then took a boat tour of the River Walk area which also was enjoyable. Dylan was also very helpful recommending local eateries which we enjoyed Pinkertons BBQ especially. Thank you Dylan! Great job!
Dylan clearly knows San Antonio inside and out and those off the beaten path spots are exactly the kind of thing you would never find on your own! Pinkerton's BBQ getting a specific shoutout is the kind of food tip future guests will absolutely want to act on. 😄
Warren was our guide and we had a good time. Very informative.
So glad Warren could make your St. Louis visit a memorable one! 😊 Short and sweet says it all and we hope to welcome you back again sometime.
