Fully private, fully customizable tours in San Antonio — plus the top attractions to see, each with its own guide. Tell us what matters to you and we'll build the day around it.
San Antonio is one of Texas's oldest cities and home to the Alamo, the 1836 mission-turned-fort where a small group of Texan defenders held out against a much larger Mexican army for 13 days during the Texas Revolution — a battle that became the defining symbol of Texas independence and gave rise to the phrase 'Remember the Alamo.' The site sits right in the middle of downtown, a short walk from the city's other main draw.
The San Antonio River Walk (Paseo del Río) runs below street level through downtown, lined with restaurants, shops, and cypress trees along the river — a genuinely different way to experience a city center than walking its streets above. A short drive south, Mission San José is the largest of four remaining Spanish colonial missions along the river, part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site and still an active parish church. For elevated views, the Tower of the Americas, built for the 1968 World's Fair, rises 750 feet above downtown with an observation deck looking out over the whole city.
The River Walk and downtown Alamo Plaza are walkable together, but the Spanish missions stretch several miles south of downtown along the river — a private tour covers that distance efficiently while still giving you the walking time each stop deserves.

March through May and October through November bring San Antonio's mildest, most comfortable weather. Summer is hot and humid, often exceeding 35°C (95°F), which makes the River Walk's shade and water especially appealing.
The Alamo and River Walk are walkable together in the downtown core, but the Spanish missions south of downtown, including Mission San José, are spread over several miles along the river — best covered by vehicle rather than on foot.
Summers are hot and humid; sun protection and water matter even for a short walk downtown. Spring and fall are pleasant and the best window for a full day outdoors.
The US dollar is used throughout, and 18–20% is standard tipping at restaurants. Contactless card and mobile payment are widely accepted.
The Alamo is an active historic and memorial site, not just a tourist attraction — hats are asked to be removed inside the shrine building, and a respectful, quiet tone is expected out of respect for those who died there.
River Walk restaurants and bars are busiest in the evening; visiting the missions and the Alamo earlier in the day avoids both the midday heat and the largest crowds downtown.
