5Walking Tour on The Riverwalk and Surrounding areas.
Tristan was excellent as our guide. He was knowledgeable and provided a lot of information on the Alamo, and The Riverwalk with additional History of San Antonio . The day for the walking tour was beautiful, and little hot too but that was Ok. We stopped and bought water and we were on our way to finish our tour. Lots of things to do and many restaurants and stores along the Riverwalk which we were able to visit the next day as well. Thank you Tristan for the wonderful tour and your awesome personality!

I thought I was buying a river cruise only and instead also paid for a walking tour. I was wondering why it was so expensive.

5Dylan was a great tour...
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.

About San Antonio
San Antonio is a Texas city of Spanish missions and the Alamo, with a winding River Walk, Mexican food and the Hill Country on its doorstep.
San Antonio grew around Spanish missions founded in the early eighteenth century, and the Alamo, a mission chapel where Texan defenders fell to Mexican forces in 1836, is its best-known landmark. San Antonio Missions National Historical Park protects four more missions along the river, and together with the Alamo they form a World Heritage site. The River Walk, a sunken path of cafés and bridges, winds through downtown.
Top-ranked sights in San Antonio: The Alamo, San Antonio River Walk (Paseo Del Rio), Mission San José.
