Riverwalk & Downtown
Walking Tour

From the first step of your guided adventure, I will share fascinating stories about the history, culture, architecture, and personalities of San Antonio.

You’ll hear the back stories of the Riverwalk, the hotel that was towed through the city streets to a new location, another hotel that had the rooms lifted up and stacked on top of each other, and I’ll share what happened during the siege and the ensuing battle of the Alamo in 1836. 

There’s the Tower of the Americas, San Fernando Cathedral, our Lovelock Bridge, you’ll see the most haunted hotel in San Antonio, the quaint Arneson River Theater, and Marriage Island, where over 300 couples tie the knot annually. Also, have your photo taken on the famous Selina Bridge. 

Hear how Bob Hope, Carol Burnett, Phil Collins, Babe Ruth, Johnny Cash, Davy Crockett, Sandra Bullock and Queen Elizabeth II are all connected to our city.

I’ll gladly answer your questions along the way, leaving you with many memorable stories to share with your family and friends….plus…it’s a great way to get in your “steps” 

You never know what you will see around the next corner !

Remember…every step forward is a step back in time !
