Why take this tour?

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).
