I explored San Antonio... - I explored San Antonio with Nancy, my tour guide. Although it poured rain, we had a great time seeing the sites, though we had to adapt the tour relative to the weather. Even more than the tour sites, the best part was all of the amazing information that Nancy provided. She made sure to "tune" in to my interests, thus sharing the kind of information that I had greatest interest in. It was truly a memorable tour, and made my trip to San Antonio one to remember.

Loved the Tour - That if you are lucky enough to get Alfred for your guide, you hit the jackpot. He really showed how much passion he has for the history of San Antonio, and doing these tours. First time visitor, and by the time I got done with the tour,, I learned so much about this very special place he calls home.

Fantastic Tour-Ask for Alfred! - This tour exceeded all of our expectations and ended up being far more extensive and enriching than we anticipated! The highlight, without a doubt, was our guide, Alfred—he was an absolute delight. Alfred’s depth of knowledge, combined with his enthusiasm and genuine passion for San Antonio, made the entire experience come alive. He didn’t just share facts—he told the story of the city in a way that was engaging, memorable, and meaningful. By the end of the tour, we walked away with a much deeper understanding and appreciation for San Antonio’s history and culture. If you’re considering this tour, I highly recommend it—and if you can, ask for Alfred. He truly makes the experience unforgettable.

We loved the observation tower and his ability to point out various buildings etc. from the observation deck. The photos he took of us on our river cruise while he was on the walkway was much appreciated.
