From the first step of your guided adventure, I will share fascinating stories about the history, culture, architecture, and personalities of San Antonio, including the back story of the Riverwalk, a hotel that was towed through the city streets, another that had the rooms lifted up and stacked on top of each other, and I'll share what happened during the siege and battle of the Alamo in 1836. There's the Tower of the Americas, San Fernando Cathedral, our Lovelock Bridge, the most haunted hotel in San Antonio, the quaint Arneson River Theater, and Marriage Island, where over 300 couples tie the knot annually. Take your photo on the famous Selina Bridge. Hear how Johnny Cash, Rudolph Valentino, Carol Burnett, Phil Collins, Babe Ruth, Davy Crockett, and Queen Elizabeth II are all connected to the city. I'll gladly answer your questions, leaving you with many memorable stories to share...PLUS...it's a great way to get in your "steps" Remember...every step forward is a step back in time !

5.00Stewart was an awesome tour guide. He took us all around the City and the River Walk! He was polite, informative and spoke so we could all hear. We really enjoyed the tour. We were skeptical when we booked a 3 hour walking tour but the time just flew and I would take another tour with Stewart any time!

5.00Stewart did a phenomenal job guiding me along the River Walk and through areas of downtown San Antonio. As a travel advisor, I have been on several tours over the years, and Stewart was definitely one of the best guides I have had the pleasure of touring with. He was very knowledgeable, and it was evident he enjoys sharing information about the city he lives in. He even offered to take pictures of me in some of the more photographic areas since I was on the tour by myself. He had a binder with photos that helped give some great visuals to go along with the information he was sharing, and he was willing to answer any questions I had. I highly recommend a walking tour with Stewart on your visit to San Antonio!
Appreciating San Antonio

5.00Wow! What a great walking tour of the city! We selected the morning tour the day after we arrived in San Antonio. This 3-hour tour was a perfect introduction allowing us to get acclimated to the city. Stewart, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastically packaged the history, charm and hidden gems of the city as we walked the streets and canals. His story narration and binder of pictures supplied intricate details of the riverwalk since its conception. Stewart was very accommodating and graciously offered to take pictures of the participants during the tour at select photo opt stops. His love for the city is evident. Thanks again, Stewart.

5.00On a weekend getaway with my daughter (15) to San Antonio, I knew I wanted to know more of the history of the Riverwalk an Alamo than we would get if we walked on our own. Booking with Stewart was the best decision! He was so informative and fun! 10/10 recommend
