The Best of San Antonio Tour begins with your guide greeting you directly in the lobby of your downtown hotel before heading to the first attraction on this exciting half-day adventure of San Antonio, Texas - the River City.

The first stop of the day is an exciting visit to a local cultural icon, the Alamo, where you will stand in the footsteps of heroes before. Walk among legends as you enjoy a guided tour that leads you through the courtyard and gets up close and personal with some of the Alamo’s largest weapons and fortifications. Then, enjoy a stroll through the lush gardens sheltered by the shade of oak trees.

Enjoy the sights and flavors of Old Mexico at the Historic Market Square, offering over 100 locally owned businesses.

Take in an enriched combination of San Antonio’s history and region within national parks as you experience the stories of people who came into the Spanish missions in the 1700s. Here you will get some free time to enjoy the beautiful Spanish colonial missions that transformed local ways of life at that time.

While en route to your next stop, enjoy the city’s skyline accompanied by a narrated city history and insightful knowledge about San Antonio from your guide. You will pass several major points of interest including La Villita Historic Arts Village, the King William Historic District, and the San Fernando Cathedral, among many others.

After your insightful narrated drive, take an enchanting cruise through the city on an electric barge! Take in the world-renowned 15-mile urban waterway on a relaxing, 35-minute River Walk Cruise to immersive yourself in the city’s culture, history, and architecture.

Finally, for the thrill-seekers, take an elevator ride up 190 m (623 ft) to the top of Tower of the Americas to witness the most magnificent view of the city, showcasing the stunning panoramic views of San Antonio from new heights at the tallest observation deck in Texas.

Once your feet are back on the ground, your tour guide will return you safely to your downtown hotel, or arranged destination.
