Short Description
  • Embark on an enchanting evening adventure through the heart of San Antonio with this immersive night walking tour. Your journey begins at the historic Emily Morgan Hotel, where you'll meet your guide and fellow travelers, setting the tone for a night of discovery and captivating sights.
  • Your first stop is the Alamo Plaza. Here, you’ll take a brief but informative tour of one of the most famous landmarks in Texas—the Alamo. Feel the history come alive as your guide shares stories of courage, heroism, and the pivotal events that took place on this very ground.
  • Next, you'll embark on a leisurely walk along the scenic Riverwalk, San Antonio’s vibrant centerpiece. As you stroll past the historic Menger Hotel, the ornate Jonske Building, and the striking Torch of Friendship, the city's rich blend of culture, history, and modern charm unfolds before your eyes.
  • The tour then arrives at the iconic Tower of the Americas. Standing tall above the San Antonio skyline, this observation tower offers breathtaking views of the city. You'll have ample time to soak in the panoramic vistas and snap photos as the sun begins to set, casting a magical glow over the horizon.
  • As the tour continues, you’ll enjoy another scenic walk passing the artistic and historic La Villita. The charming, cobblestone streets of this small artisan village are steeped in history and offer a glimpse into San Antonio’s vibrant cultural past.
  • The evening’s culinary highlight awaits: enjoy a quick snack from a local vendor. As you savor delicious local flavors, you’ll have the perfect view of the San Fernando Cathedral's light show. Known for its stunning visuals and evocative storytelling, this mesmerizing display brings the history of San Antonio to life on the cathedral’s facade (Please note: the light show does not operate on Mondays).
  • Your evening adventure concludes with a peaceful walk back to the Alamo along the Riverwalk, giving you a final opportunity to take in the city's nighttime beauty and reflect on the memorable experiences of the evening.
  • Your tour begins with your guide greeting you at the front entrance of the Alamo, your first stop of the day. Here you will stand in the footsteps of heroes before. Walk among legends as you enjoy a guided tour that leads you through the courtyard revealing the story of the 1836 Battle of the Alamo. Get up close and personal with some of the Alamo’s largest weapons and fortifications- the 16 pounder cannon, palisades, and barracks. Finally, enjoy a quiet place to rest with a stroll through the lush gardens sheltered by the shade of oak trees on the historic grounds.
  • From there you will make your way to take in the world-renowned 15-mile urban waterway on a relaxing, 35-minute River Walk Cruise to immerse yourself with the city’s culture, history, and architecture. While on the cruise you will pass multiple points of interest such as the city’s very first neighborhood - La Villita, the Old Mill Crossing, and Selena’s Bridge where Tejano superstar Selena Quintanilla Perez was proposed to in the biopic Selena (played by world-famous actor/singer Jennifer Lopez).
  • Once you are back on dry land, you will head to the Historic La Villita District to take in its vibrant culture. You will also get the chance to cross Love Lock Bridge, where the tradition is for visitors to attach padlocks to the railings as a symbol of their love and commitment.
  • From there, you will make your way to your next stop, the San Fernando Cathedral. The stunning Spanish Colonial architectural masterpiece has been a cherished landmark for over 300 years. It boasts intricate details on the facade and a tranquil atmosphere inside, perfect for contemplation and reflection. As the oldest continuously operating religious community in Texas, it holds great historical and cultural significance, including the remains of the Alamo defenders.
  • Your next stop is for the thrill-seekers. Take an elevator ride up 190 m (623 ft) to the top of Tower of the Americas to witness the most magnificent view of the city, showcasing the stunning panoramic views of San Antonio from new heights at the tallest observation deck in Texas. 
  • Once your feet are back on the ground, your tour will be complete and you and your guide will part ways.
