Fantastic San Antonio Experience — History, Dining & River Walk

We had a wonderful experience on this tour! I originally thought we’d be part of a group, but it ended up being a private tour for just my daughter and me, which made it feel even more special. Our guide, Rene, picked us up right on time and was warm, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable throughout the evening. We started with the Tower of the Americas, where we enjoyed spectacular views of San Antonio, followed by a driving tour of important landmarks and fascinating local history. Dinner at Biga on the Banks along the River Walk was absolutely delicious. We also visited the historic Pearl and the beautiful Hotel Emma, both rich with character and history. Stops at the The Alamo and the historic Emily Morgan Hotel—known as one of San Antonio’s most haunted spots—made the tour even more memorable. We finished the evening with a relaxing boat ride along the San Antonio River Walk. A truly delightful experience from beginning to end. Highly recommend!”

Great tour

We had a great tour that took us to the tower of the Americas (15min appr.), Paesano's on the riverwalk (around an hour and half), a very short walk on the riverwalk with a boat tour on the river (30 min), and a short tour of downtown. I feel that the construction downtown made our tour a bit shorter than normal. Rene, our driver, did a great job and we felt safe the entire time. He was very informative as well. Overall it was a nice tour and we were in a very nice Mercedes van that was comfortable. Now the bad, the tour that we booked on viator was not the same that was given. This was explained as viator had changed the tour but not updated the app info accordingly. On the original description, we were to see the Alamo and Pearl district as well as the aforementioned sights, we did not. This was not the drivers fault, it was viators. Also, the time listed as pick up was incorrect and the driver was there to pick us up 45 min early. Again, viators fault. We did have issues at the restaurant but they were quickly dealt with and the meal and experience was great! It was valentines day and they only had a special menu you could order off of and they were packed. Overall, the tour was great. We were picked up at our hotel and dropped off after. Rene was very professional and kept us safe. We would recommend this tour, but, verify with the tour operator all the details beforehand!

Disappointed.

The tour operator called us to say he would be picking us up early because we needed to get to Tower of America before our 7:15 reservation for dinner. Good thing because we would of never made it. The tour guide seemed very rushed and we did not get the hour promised at the tower. We could barely here his conversation as he drove us through the City. After dinner we got picked up and someone inquired about The Pearl....He said "Oh yeah, I guess we can stop there." It was included as part of the experience. We were there maybe 15 mins...then left to go to the River Walk Boat Tour. We got there just before 9:30 and they were closed due to weather. Typically they close at 10 but we were never informed that they were shutting early. We ended up having to get the tickets and go the next day.

Best way to see San Antonio! Alfred, our guide, was fun and passionate about the city. We rode in a luxurious Mercedes van!

Alfred was the best tour guide! The itinerary covered the must see attractions and a fabulous dinner at Biga. Highly recommend!
