Fantastic tour! Our tour guide, Matthew , filled the tour with history and facts about San Antonio and the sights. We covered a lot of ground which was a great way to start our visit. I would highly recommend this tour!!

Our tour guide was Matt, fantastic personality and vast knowledge. He even was on point with “Freddy Fender and the Texas Tornadoes “.
It was drizzling all the time we were out but Matt made it fun and interesting.
Great job Matt. Loved this tour.

I've taken guided tours by Viator in other cities. After Each trip I tell others that I never would have learned about the particular city on my own. I've seen and experienced so much with the knowledgeable Viator guides.

Matthew was an amazing tour guide. Having grown up in San Antonio, he had a lot of interesting information other tour guides might not posses. Matthew was extremely personable and answered all questions. A+ tour!!!

Joseph was very nice and helpful with city tips. It was a nice walk and covered major important landmarks. I would have liked to hear more history details.
Julie_M, Apr 2024
Our tour guide, Matthew, was spectacular. He is well informed and is able to attend to questions about San Antonio and Texas, as the sites along the tour. I highly recommend this tour for a well-rounded exploration of San Antonio and a good time. There is a bit of walking, but it is mostly level.

We learned some things about San Antonio's history, about the Alamo and other things about the founders, buildings and events that shaped the city.
