Recorrido a pie por el paseo fluvial de San Antonio y por el centro
Descripción
Desde el primer paso de su aventura guiada, compartiré historias fascinantes sobre la historia, cultura, arquitectura y personalidades de San Antonio, incluida la historia de fondo del Riverwalk, un hotel que fue remolcado por las calles de la ciudad, otro que tenía las habitaciones levantadas y apiladas una encima de la otra, y compartiré lo que sucedió durante el asedio y la batalla del Álamo en 1836. Está la Torre de las Américas, la Catedral de San Fernando, nuestro puente Lovelock, el hotel más encantado de San Antonio, el pintoresco Teatro del Río Arneson y la Isla del Matrimonio, donde más de 300 parejas hacen el nudo anualmente.

Con mucho gusto responderé a sus preguntas, dejándole muchas historias memorables para compartir...ADEMÁS... es una gran manera de entrar en sus "pasos" Recuerde... cada paso adelante es un paso atrás en el tiempo!
Opciones de la excursión
Itinerario
Escuche la historia del asedio y la batalla del Álamo, qué sucedió y por qué lo recordamos hoy. Estarás parado frente a este Monumento Histórico Nacional de fama mundial. Este no es un recorrido por el Álamo.
Este es el símbolo de la Exposición Universal, conocida como "Hemisfair" celebrada en San Antonio en 1968. Más de 6 millones de personas visitaron la ciudad para vivir la Exposición Universal. Con una altura de 750 pies, se eleva sobre el horizonte de la ciudad.
Pasee entre los imponentes cipreses y escuche la historia del histórico Riverwalk. Tome una foto en el famoso Puente Selena, visite Marriage Island, el lindo Teatro Arneson River y muchos otros puntos destacados del Riverwalk.
Este teatro al aire libre, construido en 1940, se encuentra en el paseo fluvial de San Antonio y es escenario de desfiles fluviales, entretenimiento... y películas. También se encuentra aquí el hermoso Puente Rosita.
Esta imponente escultura es un ícono de San Antonio. Fue un regalo a la ciudad para mostrar la amistad entre tres naciones. Diseñada por Sebastián, esta escultura de 65' de altura llegó a la ciudad en 2002.
Escuche la fascinante historia y el misterio del hotel más embrujado de San Antonio... y las celebridades que se han alojado allí.
Es una de las catedrales más antiguas de los Estados Unidos y data de principios del siglo XVIII. El Papa Juan Pablo II visitó la catedral durante su visita a San Antonio, y allí se casó Jim Bowie.
Es la taberna más antigua del Riverwalk y abrió sus puertas en 1933. Además de ser el lugar perfecto para "observar a la gente pasar" en el Riverwalk, cuenta con una barra de madera empapada en cerveza que mide 100 pies de largo.
Probablemente el edificio más querido de San Antonio, y su arquitectura románica richardsoniana presenta una cúpula de colmena única. Escuche la historia de cómo surgió... y por qué es tan popular en un día especial cada año.
Vea el emblemático restaurante junto al río con sombrillas de colores. Se jacta de ser el primer restaurante que abrió en Riverwalk y data de 1946. También es un gran lugar para disfrutar paseando con mariachis.

This is one of the best city tours I’ve been on. Stewart, the tour guide is very knowledgeable, professional, friendly and most importantly very respectful to everyone in our tour group. He provided a great overview of downtown San Antonio and a comprehensive history of the river walk. I highly recommend this tour.
Thank you Kofi...I enjoyed meeting your wonderful family while you were in San Antonio, and showing you some of the sights while sharing stories of our rich history. Thanks for joining me ! Stewart
Great tour with lots of interesting details about San Antonio including the Alamo and the design of the riverwalk.
Glad you enjoyed the Tour Larry....welcome to Texas ! Stewart

Thank you Calvin. I am glad that you and Patti enjoyed the Walking Tour, and we hope to see you back in San Antonio again soon. Regards, Stewart

Lynn and Dawn...thanks for tolerating the weather....but I am glad you enjoyed the Tour and the stories. Great to meet you both ! Stewart
Stewart was Fantastic as my Guide to San Antonio and the Riverwalk. Stewart did an Outstanding job in Highlighting the History and the Sights of San Antonio while also giving insight into the History, Culture and it Sights. I Especialy enjoyed the Highlights of the Alamo and His Vivid insight into its History. Stewart Thank You for a wonderful experience and I highly recommend to Anyone looking to Visit San Antonio.
It was great to meet you George, and I'm glad you enjoyed our stroll along the Riverwalk and through downtown. I hope you enjoy your stay here in the Alamo City. Go Swans !
Fantastic guide, informative & comprehensive tour of the downtown area. A must-do for visitors to the city! Stewart was amazing as our tour guide. We have been to San Antonio a handful of times and have enjoyed seeing many sights of the city. Stewart took this visit to the next level with his fun and informative tour. We learned things about The Alamo, Riverwalk, and various other stops along our route that we had never heard before! Our family was a group of 8; our youngest child was 3 and oldest 16. All our kids enjoyed this activity and though I was a bit apprehensive about taking a stroller for our 3 and 4 yr olds due to many stairs along the Riverwalk; we brought small very lightweight foldable umbrella strollers along that quickly fold up (actually we didn’t even bother to fold them, just simply carried the strollers up a flight of stairs or two) and it worked beautifully. Our littles jumped right in/out of their stroller and it saved their legs from being tired. Stewart was patient and understanding to adjust to our kiddos needs and it was much appreciated. Book this tour, you will not be disappointed. Whether it’s your first visit to the city or you’ve been several times I almost guarantee you’ll learn something new and have a great time doing so!
Thanks Angela.....what a good time we had, and I really enjoyed meeting your family on our stroll along the Riverwalk and through downtown . I hope you enjoy the photos from the Tour, and plan another visit in the future to see all the changes in the Alamo City. Stewart
Our walking tour was led by Stewart, who is surprisingly an Aussie, that has been living in San Antonio for the past 25 years and has a passion and enthusiasm for the city's history. He made the tour fun and interesting and we learned a lot about the city through his guidance. We enjoyed seeing the Riverwalk area, Alamo, and nearby sights and recommend it to others who enjoy walking, seeing the sights, and learning some interesting history.
Thank you Chad. I'm so glad that you and Lisa enjoyed the Tour and insights of this amazing city. I hope you get to revisit again soon ! Stewart
Had the best time! Stewart is an exceptional storyteller who painted a vivid picture of the Riverwalk in San Antonio, especially its architecture. He also shared the fascinating history about the Alamo. We have done several walking tours across the country, and this is hands down, one of the best.
Thank you Ridin. I am so glad that you and Shivani had a good time on our Tour through San Antonio. Hopefully it will entice you both back for another visit in the future...there is so much happening here. Thanks again ! Stewart
Stewart’s walking tour was absolutely fantastic! He is highly engaging, funny and so knowledgeable about San Antonio and is continuously learning more to add to his tour. Stewart included rest stops and a coffee stop adding to the relaxed pace of the tour. He catered for various mobility levels of the group members. Stewart was able to effortlessly answer questions from the group in addition to the tour content. Stewart provided one of the best walking tours of a city that we have experienced around the world. The three hours is jam packed with information and amazing value for money. We would definitely recommend this tour to others and if we return to San Antonio would book in for one of Stewart’s other tours. Don’t miss the opportunity to learn about San Antonio with Stewart. You won’t regret it.
Thank you so much Julia. I am really happy that you and Dean enjoyed our time together, and I hope that when you look back over the photos, you take away happy memories of your time in the Alamo City. Dean excelled in the little quizzes along the way, and I look forward to catching up with you both again on a possible return visit. Thanks again for taking my Tour. Stewart
