4.00It's a lot of walking and stairs so probably not great for younger kids. Bring water and a snack. Overall, great way to see a number of the hot spots while taking in a history lesson.
Excellent way to explore San Antonio

5.00We met Nancy in San Antonio for our tour and it was an excellent experience that gave us a lot of knowledge as well as confidence to further explore the Riverwalk and wider San Antonio area. Nancy had great knowledge of the history and sights of San Antonio. She communicated well and was fun to spend the tour with. We definitely recommend this tour for a fun way to get to explore San Antonio and see some sights that you would not find on your own. Thanks again Nancy
