Great tour!! Our guide Nancy, was extremely knowledgeable which made the tour much more enjoyable. Learned a lot of new information about San Antonio. Would recommend this tour, and be sure to ask for Nancy, you won’t regret it.
When a reviewer tells future guests to ask for their guide by name, that's about as high a compliment as it gets, and Nancy clearly earns it every time! 🌻
Even in May, it's HOT, and a lot of walking. That being said, full of fun information. Love that it adds the Tower of the Americas because I doubt we would have done that on our own.
🌞 So happy the Tower of the Americas ended up being a highlight you might have otherwise missed, that is exactly what we love to hear.
Warren was very knowledgeable and since he was a history teacher knows his stuff! Had a wonderful time!
Warren’s history teacher background clearly came through in the best way! It’s wonderful to hear his knowledge helped make the tour so enjoyable 📚
Tristan was knowledgeable, kind and gave a balanced historical perspective, which I appreciated. Good pacing.

Sasha is very knowledgeable and friendly. She went above and beyond to make our tour a great experience. Highly recommend.
Sean will be thrilled to hear this, and it’s great you got to experience spots like Thunder Hole, Jordan Pond, and Sand Beach while getting such a well-rounded overview of the area.
Sasha was wonderful! Very knowledgeable and accommodating. There was a slight mixup in scheduling and as compensation, she bought us all sweatshirts at the Alamo gift store! Would highly recommend.

It's a lot of walking and stairs so probably not great for younger kids. Bring water and a snack. Overall, great way to see a number of the hot spots while taking in a history lesson.
That’s a helpful heads up for future guests! 🚶♂️ You’re absolutely right, there is quite a bit of walking and stairs, so bringing water and a snack is a smart idea. It’s wonderful to hear the tour still delivered a great mix of top sights and history along the way.
We met Nancy in San Antonio for our tour and it was an excellent experience that gave us a lot of knowledge as well as confidence to further explore the Riverwalk and wider San Antonio area. Nancy had great knowledge of the history and sights of San Antonio. She communicated well and was fun to spend the tour with. We definitely recommend this tour for a fun way to get to explore San Antonio and see some sights that you would not find on your own. Thanks again Nancy
