This was a great walking tour. Both my husband and I could have listened to Stewart all day. He was entertaining and could informative.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Sandy....a big thanks to you and Mark for taking the time to join my tour of downtown San Antonio. I am so glad you had fun and get to take home some new stories of this fascinating city.
Mary_G, Apr 2024
We have taken walking tours for over 20 years and Stewart was by far the best Tour Guide we have ever had. He was very knowledgeable of the area and had historical photos to complement his presentations.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you Mary. I really appreciate that wonderful endorsement. I enjoyed spending time with you and John and had a lot of fun with you both with my little quizzes. Thanks again !
Cynthia_P, Apr 2024
We learned so many interesting tidbits that you would never know if someone like our guide had not put so much research into the tour. I would highly recommend this wonderful tour
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Hey Cynthia...it was great to meet up with all of you, and I had fun sharing all the stories and anecdotes with you on our walk.
Andrea_S, Apr 2024
We absolutely loved our tour with Stewart! He knows soooo much about San Antonio’s history and was able to share it so well that my whole family from my mother in law down to my 10 year old loved the tour! He has ear pieces for everyone so you can always hear what he is saying even in busy areas with other people. Amazing walking tour! We would do another tour with Stewart any day!
Response from Host, Apr 2024
You have a great family Andrea, and it was my pleasure to have you all on our downtown walk of San Antonio. Glad you enjoyed the stories....and you did well on the quizzes too ! Hopefully, on another visit I can show you more of this wonderful city.

Stewart was a delight to experience San Antonio with! We are a family of five (kids ages 14, 12 and 9) and wanted to make the most of our short time in San Antonio. Stewart led a wonderfully entertaining and informative tour of the city. We left feeling that we had a clear picture of the city's history and felt satisfied that we had "experienced" San Antonio. Even the kids enjoyed the experience. We would highly recommend Stewart's walking tour and will send our friends and family his way if they venture out to San Antonio.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Bronlynn...it was a real pleasure to meet you and your family on your stay in San Antonio. I am so glad everyone enjoyed the walk, and I hope you all come back for another visit to the Alamo City soon. There's a lot to see here !

Stewart did a great job of telling us the history of the riverwalk and the historic downtown area of San Antonio. His stories and anecdotes really gave us a good sense of the area.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
So glad that you enjoyed the experience and it was a pleasure to share some of the amazing stories of San Antonio with you on our walk.
Jeff_H, Apr 2024
Enjoyed all of the trivia that Stewart shared. He also did a great job of answering any questions we had
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Jeff, you did well on the quizzes and I hope that you and Mary get another opportunity to come back to the Alamo City for another of my tours in the near future.
Blair_L, Apr 2024
We learned so much about San Antonio's Riverwalk! We loved hearing about the architecture and history. And, the photos Stewart brought along helped us to better see the history. Stewart answered our questions and kept us moving along, but we never felt rushed. Highly recommend.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you Blair. It was great to meet you and Jane on your San Antonio visit, and I am so glad you enjoyed our walk through the city and along the Riverwalk. Come back again soon !

Stuart is an excellent guide. He gave great historical insights and has thoroughly researched his information. His insights were unique. You can tell he has a personal passion for San Antonio. It made the walk special.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Great to meet you on our walk in San Antonio. I really enjoyed sharing the lost history and forgotten stories of the Alamo City with you on our tour.
Karen_H, Apr 2024
Stewart was very informative and told us a plethora of information about San Antonio. Guests need to know that there is a lot of walking and standing (about 5.5 miles!) bring an umbrella for shade if it’s hot out.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you Karen...it was a pleasure to meet you and I'm really pleased you enjoyed the tour of downtown San Antonio. I actually measured the journey and its a step over 3 miles including some of the streets we walk along. For warm weather, yes, an umbrella is a good idea...along with some cold water ( although there are places on the walk to grab a cold bottle ) Thanks again for choosing my tour. Stewart
