Dylan was a great tour guide! He provided communication prior to the tour on where to meet and after the tour he provided us a thorough text with recommendations on other stuff to do and places to eat. He was entertaining and very knowledgable. The walking portion of the tour was easy enough and we stopped a bit to talk and look at different locations. The boat ride at the end was a great way to end the tour.
Oh it was fabulous! We ran into one issue of where to catch the boat. However, the staff helped greatly! The driver was professional, kind, knowledgeable and fun! This was for my husband’s bday and he had a BLAST!
It was very informative. Our tour guide, Triston, was the best. He was funny and knows the history.😊
Dylan did a great job showing us San Antonio in a short amount of time. He took us to places we might not have seen on our own and gave us background stories we couldn’t have heard without a guide. Great tour for those without a lot of spare time. Boat ride throughout Riverwalk was fun
Our tour guide, Warren, was very knowledgeable of history and very willing to accommodate for the crowd. He made pictures for us as well. Time was perfect with walking tour and boat ride on the river.
We had a really great time on this tour! Tristan was our walking tour guide. He was funny, a great storyteller, and very knowledgeable about the area and landmarks that we saw. He also made sure we were set up for our boat tour at the end, and even sent us a list of recommendations for restaurants and places to visit while we were in San Antonio! We went to one of the restaurants he recommended and it was fantastic. Our boat tour was also super interesting, and showed us a lot about the riverwalk like the Selena Bridge, the Stargazer Statue, and the history of the buildings surrounding the riverwalk.
Should you take the walk, request to have DYLAN to conduct the walk. He was knowledgeable and entertaining
The tour guide was professional, cordial and knowledgeable. Unfortunately we found out very late that it is mostly a walking tour around the city with a 30 minutes river cruise. We were unable to complete the walking part due to excessive heat, and walking limitations. The cruise was very nice and the captain did an excellent job sharing detailed history of events/architectural designs along the river. I suggest a clear description of the tour on the Viator site.
To go in the morning on the hot days. We went in afternoon. Our guide, Dillon , was very mindful keeping us in the shade. He was excellent. Very informative plus flexible when we. We’re concerned about our parking. He gave us great tips on the area on the restaurants and activities etc
Our tour guide was so knowledgeable! We enjoyed the whole tour.
