Learned so much! - My husband, 15yo son and did a walking tour with Stewart and learned so much about history of the RiverWalk, Alamo, Menger Hotel and downtown San Antonio! Stewart also took several photos of our family in iconic locations. The tour is a full 3 hours and well worth the cost!

Must Do San Antonio Walking Tour - This is a MUST DO tour if visiting San Antonio for the first time to even if you live in the city. This was my 2nd time to do this tour with Stewart. My first time on the tour , I was with my husband and we learned so much about the Riverwalk and San Antonio in general. Our tour was so good in 2024 that when my friends planned a girls trip to San Antonio, I knew we they would love the tour. Stewart has a wealth of information about San Antonio's Riverwalk and surrounding area. I love how he has a think binder of pictures that he shares with his stories. You can't go wrong with booking this walking tour.
