San Antonio’s Best Tour Guide! - Our San Antonio walking tour was excellent. Our tour guide, Stewart, was very personable and knowledgeable. While he gave us great insights to many points of interest, such as The Alamo and The Menger Hotel, his tour of The Riverwalk was exceptional. The knowledge he shared about The Riverwalk’s beginnings to what it is today was fabulous. We did the tour at the beginning of our stay in San Antonio, and it really helped us become familiar with the whole area. We highly recommend this tour with Stewart!

Stewart… The Riverwalk King… - I did the 9 AM walking tour with Stewart, who was absolutely filled with mindful of knowledge about San Antonio, The Riverwalk and the Alamo. It was a pleasure. We walked everywhere, talked about life, families, Australia (where he is from) and Ireland where I’m from. It was such a great experience. I absolutely loved it. I had the privilege of a 1:1 Viator tour because no one else signed up. I learned so much. Early in the morning is the best time to avoid the noon/evening heat. Highly recommended and try to get Stewart!!!

Loved the River Walk tour - Stewart is a veritable encyclopedia of San Antonio history. We thoroughly enjoyed walking the River Walk, the Alamo and many downtown landmarks. His colorful stories enhanced our tour as we learned many facts about the River Walk designer, notable VIPs who visited the area and much more. It’s a three hour walk and well worth it.
