Fun walking sightseeing and history tour - Our walking tour was led by Stewart, who is surprisingly an Aussie, that has been living in San Antonio for the past 25 years and has a passion and enthusiasm for the city's history. He made the tour fun and interesting and we learned a lot about the city through his guidance. We enjoyed seeing the Riverwalk area, Alamo, and nearby sights and recommend it to others who enjoy walking, seeing the sights, and learning some interesting history.

One of the Best Walking Tours in the Country! - Had the best time! Stewart is an exceptional storyteller who painted a vivid picture of the Riverwalk in San Antonio, especially its architecture. He also shared the fascinating history about the Alamo. We have done several walking tours across the country, and this is hands down, one of the best.

Gold level walking tour - thoroughly recommended - Stewart’s walking tour was absolutely fantastic! He is highly engaging, funny and so knowledgeable about San Antonio and is continuously learning more to add to his tour. Stewart included rest stops and a coffee stop adding to the relaxed pace of the tour. He catered for various mobility levels of the group members. Stewart was able to effortlessly answer questions from the group in addition to the tour content. Stewart provided one of the best walking tours of a city that we have experienced around the world. The three hours is jam packed with information and amazing value for money. We would definitely recommend this tour to others and if we return to San Antonio would book in for one of Stewart’s other tours. Don’t miss the opportunity to learn about San Antonio with Stewart. You won’t regret it.

I highly recommend this... - I highly recommend this tour! Most historical walking tours I've experienced in other cities last two hours, but this tour is three hours--and well worth every extra minute. Stewart knows his facts, has a great sense of humor and will remember your name. A great way to spend a morning all the way around.

Secrets Revealed - Very informative and fun. Learned about the history with a little competitive twist! Stewart shared restaurants we did not have on our list, as well as additional tours he thought we would enjoy. He also suggested a couple of activities we didn’t even know existed. We made a point to add them to our itinerary and so happy we did. With Stewart’s suggestions, our trip was more memorable than it would have been without them. Put Stewart’s tour early in your visit so that you don’t miss some of the lesser known or more informative sites. You will definitely get more bang for your buck.

The Best River Walk Tour in San Antonio!! - This was one of the best tours we have taken. Stewart has put a lot of time into designing this adventure. He is knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and willing to answer any question presented. We walked along the riverfront while he pointed out many interesting facts about the local history or architecture. We stopped along the tour at different points of interest such as the Buckhorn Saloon, The Alamo, Menger Hotel (Ghost stories) and we learned fun fats about buildings and their construction along the way. We would highly recommend this tour.
