What you can expect

Spend an afternoon on a ride that takes you back through centuries of San Antonio's history, culture, and architecture to let you experience its incredible storey. This tour shows you landmarks and hotspots all around town while you pick up some knowledge and play some engaging Texas trivia games.

As the roomy tour bus carries you out from city centre, get to know the friendly guides who liven up the ride with games and trivia that enrich your insight into the sights you pass by. Stop at the boat locks that help tame the San Antonio River and check out the Pearl Brewery redevelopment for a look at how the city's history carries on in modern works. Ride past the Butterkrust Bakery, DoSeum, and Witte Museum for some insight into its heritage.

When you reach each destination, a special audio experience lets you hear voices and sound effects that take you back through the events that shaped the city. Learn about the Japanese gardens built within abandoned limestone quarries at Brackenridge Park and the San Antonio Botanical Garden, and then relive the Great Texas Cattle Drives on a ride past the old Union Stock Yards.

Finish the tour with a look at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Mission Concepcion, the site of one of the first battles of the Texas Revolution. In the end, you can head back to your city centre hotel, through Southtown and the King William District, or get dropped off at the Alamo for a look at the city's most famous site.
