Descrizione

Welcome to San Antonio, the oldest big city in Texas. This tour invites you to stroll its carefully preserved downtown and reimagine it as the Spanish missionary settlement it used to be 300 years ago.

You will start touring at the newly renovated hip Pearl neighborhood overlooking the San Antonio River and make your way further along the River Walk, the city's emblematic promenade.

The iconic Alamo, or the Shrine of Texas Liberty, will capture your attention with its exquisite exterior and history of the fabled fight to wrest Texas from Mexico. Later on, you will face the haunted-looking San Fernando Cathedral, yet another site of this fight.

The 19th-century La Villita district will pull you into the vivid artisanal shops with its village-like ambiance. After that, the 750 feet-tall Tower of the Americas at Hemisfair Park will grab your attention as it would – at the famous 1968 World’s Fair it was built for.

Then, you will see the only remaining aristocratic Spanish townhouse in Texas, the Spanish Governor's Palace, dating back to the 18th century. Next, you will drift from one colorful stall to another at the Historic Market Square, the largest Mexican-style market outside Mexico.

Finally, you will come over to the landmark Casa Navarro residence to meet Jose Navarro, a famed signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence.

Join this tour and seize the authentic storied past of San Antonio, where the Latin heritage mixes up with its American present!
