Your San Antonio adventure begins at the legendary Alamo, one of the most iconic historical sites in the United States. You’ll meet your entertaining, expert guide at the front entrance and then delve into the story of the 1836 Battle of the Alamo. As you walk through the courtyard, you’ll see original fortifications like the 16-pounder cannon, barracks, and palisades, and enjoy a peaceful stroll through shaded gardens beneath towering oak trees.
Next, you’ll board a relaxing 35-minute River Walk Cruise. This scenic boat ride takes you along San Antonio’s famous 15-mile urban waterway, offering a unique view of the city’s culture, history, and stunning architecture. You’ll cruise past notable landmarks including La Villita Historic Arts Village, the Old Mill Crossing, and Selena's Bridge.
Following the cruise, you’ll explore the vibrant Historic La Villita District, discovering its local art, boutique shops, and cultural charm. Plus, a stop at the Kallison Love Lock Walk Bridge, where couples leave padlocks as a symbol of their love and commitment.
Next, you’ll visit the magnificent San Fernando Cathedral, a Spanish Colonial masterpiece that has been a spiritual and cultural hub for over 300 years. Step inside this serene sanctuary and learn about its significance as the oldest continuously operating religious community in Texas. It is also home to the remains of several Alamo heroes.
Finally, you’ll take your San Antonio experience to new heights with a visit to the Tower of the Americas. Ride up the elevator 190 meters (623 feet) to the top where you’ll experience breathtaking, 360-degree panoramic views of San Antonio from the tallest observation deck in Texas.
