- The Alamo - Start at the iconic crossroads of Houston Street, where Victor uncovers the hidden links between the historic landmarks of Alamo Plaza.

Enter the Alamo Mission Church (admission included) for a personal experience inside this sacred site, then walk through the timeline at Military Plaza.

- San Antonio River Walk - Descend to the river level at a sacred site tied to the Alamo defenders—discover why this place is significant.

Then hear how two hotels reshaped San Antonio’s skyline: one built in an astonishing 202 days, another that cost $1 million to move less than a mile. Why move it? A developer, a conservation society, and a 20-year-old “abandoned” building clashed in a Guinness World Record battle. Ascend 750 feet (admission included) to see where these stories unfolded.
