On this immersive San Antonio walking tour, you’ll visit some of the most historic sites in the state of Texas. There’s no better way to learn about Texas and Tex-Mex food and culture than sampling the creations of local chefs as you stroll through downtown and the Riverwalk.

See the famous Alamo Mission, learn about historic (and haunted) hotels, and enjoy the natural beauty of the iconic San Antonio Riverwalk.

Meanwhile, you’ll dig into some of the best local cuisine. Including Texas barbecue, and plenty of Tex-Mex, like barbacoa tacos and big red. You’ll also get to sample the ice cream Bill Clinton called “one of the great treasures in American life.”

Our unique pay-as-you-go model lets you enjoy more of what you want for less money, a better value than comparable food tours. Simply hand the guide $35 cash on your arrival, and the guide will take care of the rest. Paying cash also makes it easy for each restaurant to offer more food so you’re guaranteed Texas-sized servings.
