a perfect day in downtown SATX - Loved, loved, LOVED this tour! Victor was incredibly knowledgeable and brought the city's rich history to life. Starting at the Alamo, we wound through the historic streets, learning fascinating stories about the Spanish colonial era and Texas independence. We also explored the stunning San Fernando Cathedral and the bustling Main Plaza. The 4-hour tour flew by, and I learned more about San Antonio than I could have discovered on my own &&& Victor's insider tips led us to the perfect spot for lunch at Mi Tierra!. The perfect for history buffs and first-time visitors. Would 100% recommend!

Catered to My Interest - Victor provides a tour packed full of historical facts with romantic stories and tourist tips. Unlike other tour guides, Victor is very personable and caters your tour to your interest rather than a script and schedule. My only regret is that I did my tour on my last day in San Antonio rather than my first; because, now I want to explore more places!
