Intimate tour with a good walking pace

5.00First of all, Renee was very accommodating and great with communication to be flexible with the tour according to what I wanted, since it was a small group. He kept the pace according to what was reasonable. Answering all my questions to the best of his ability, while keep me entertained. I highly recommend this tour to help with getting to know San Antonio and be able to see all the lights (since it is a night tour).
Great tour!

5.00This was our first time in San Antonio and truly enjoyed this walking tour through downtown learning about the history and culture of the city from the architecture, battle of the Alamo, energy of the Riverwalk and ending with a great light art show on the cathedral. Our tour guide Renee was knowledgeable and personalized our experience.

5.00Wow, Sasha was awesome. The tour ended up being just me and my wife so it was essentially a private tour. Sasha was so knowledgeable and full of history. It was our first time being in Texas and we learned a lot about San Antonio. She was very accommodating - definitely recommend Sasha as your guide!

5.00I would give this tour a 10 star review! Sasha was phenomenal. She knew the history of San Antonio so well! She had lovely stories and took such good care of us. We did the tour on Halloween and it was so beautiful. Definitely sign up for this tour! The Riverwalk at night is magical!
Disappointed

2.00Disappointed. We had hoped for a walking tour to get a better sense of the city, but an hour before the tour we were told they were changing it to a minivan tour. The tour did not include the light show at the cathedral as advertised. The description of the tour is misleading because it also did not include entrance into the Alamo. The Tower tour was very interesting. And we enjoyed the river boat cruise. Our tour guide was very friendly, but we did not feel that we got our money’s worth on this tour.
Sasha was an amazing tour...
