The guide was great, knowledgeable, easygoing. I forgot his name but he was from Virginia Beach. The tour was fun, I learned a lot about San Antonio and got to see the city and what it has to offer. I’m in Austin for a week and now I can see myself staying in San Antonio sometime in the future. I could’ve spent a little more time at the Alamo and the river walk but I don’t feel like I missed anything, it was enough. I got back to my hotel in Austin a little after 3pm. It’s a great way to spend a day if you’re going to be in Austin for a week, very satisfied, I recommend it!
