Our downtown and riverwalk tour with Matt was our first experience learning about San Antonio. We liked that he was a native and could share his experiences growing up here. He noted the many changes in the city during his lifetime. Matt was passionate about his city and we loved that!
Very informative and interesting. Did a great job and since it was so hot took breaks in the shade to explain.
Alfred was an excellent guide. It was evident from the get go he loves his city and wants to show it off. He was born here and is not afraid c to brag and give you all the history from the Alamo to the River Walk. Highly recommend this tour.
Matt was great, very knowledgeable and very passionate about the history of San Antonio. Was knowledgeable of both ancient and modern history.
Nice walking tour , not sure value for money . Guide shared lots of interesting facts but we did not complete 2 hours tour time
Matthew was a terrific guide. I learned so much about San Antonio and I’m glad I took the walking tour.
The walking tour was very informative. Turns out there is a lot of history to learn beyond cowboys and the Alamo.
Matt was very knowledgeable and entertaining. He had great stories about San Antonio. I would recommend this walking tour.
Matt was great. Very knowledgeable and spent a lot of time with us. Would recommend and use again. Thanks
Overall, the tour was very informative. Joseph knows a lot about the history of the city. The only constructive feedback I would give is that at times he tended to go on longer than necessary on different points and veering off the true historical aspects of the tour.
