San Antonio Ultimate Walking: Alamo, Cruise & Tower

Victor Martins did a phenomenal job of touring my husband and I! We had a personal tour and it was wonderful. His passion for history and for the San Antonio area was quite evident. He took time for explanations and answered all of our questions. He made the tour interesting and fun with many tidbits about folklore and rumors regarding the Alamo. We learned and saw alot! We will remember our trip to San Antonio fondly, largely due to this tour and tour guide.

Victor was fabulous! Frindly, informative, good energy. Of course extremely knowledgeable.

We had never visited San Antonio before, and honestly did not know what to expect. Victor showed us so many beautiful sites and shared so much wonderful history that we were truly amazed. If we had tried to visit on our own, we would’ve missed so many great stories and insights that Victor was able to share with us.

I am so glad that I booked this tour with Victor. I had the best time! Victor has so much knowledge, has a great sense of humor, and the tour was so engaging! I felt like I was walking through San Antonio with a member of my family. I would definitely recommend this to anyone headed to San Antonio. Victor is a true gem! Don’t hesitate… Book this tour!

Guide was awesome and was very knowledgeable in all the areas. Took time to discuss all the areas and history of the town.

Hello, This was a very informative enlightening tour. It was a little different as I was by myself, but Victor explained this is done to provide a personalized experience. I will definitely be looking for a tour like this for the next place I chose to travel too. The guide took pictures of me with his ipad at various notable places on the tour, then emailed them back to me along with the slides of the presentation afterwards. This felt like more than a two mile walk, and it was very humid. But, I knew this going into it with it being in September. This was Well worth my time. Much better than being in front of the TV or just drinking in a bar to pass the time. in

Victor was honestly one of the best tour guides I've ever had. He was very informative and personable. He even brought water and snacks for everyone in the tour and was prepared with extra umbrellas when it started raining. He reached out a couple days before the tour and offered assistance with anything we might have needed during our vacation. He was early to the meeting location and we made slight adjustments to the tour as the rain was coming and going to keep us as dry as possible. He took several photos along the way and emailed them to us afterwards. I would highly recommend booking through 5 star adventures and ask for Victor.

This is one of the most informative and interesting tours we have ever been on. We had a negative view of Texas, but after the tour, we have a great appreciation for the history, culture, and people of San Antonio. The guide was exceptional and went out of his way to give us one of the best tours ever. I would highly recommend it.

Victor is a great guide. vEry knowledgeable know all history and also very kind and patient. Thank you.

Very knowledgeable tour guide with great recommendations on things to see and do here in San Antonio. Lots of history to see while walking, in addition to a short boat ride around the river. We also went into the tower. Of americas. We appreciated the private tour as opposed to a large group. Lots of walking but we took breaks and Victor provided plenty of water which was more than appreciated. Would recommend to those interested in detailed history and are not afraid to walk!

This was an amazingly fun and informative tour. I'm a history lover and Victor gave an excellent history lesson on the Alamo as well as the entire history of San Antonio! I highly recommend this tour!!

Wonderful time, lots of history, educational, family friendly, great place for a vacation. 😊 Super warm in July, but I’d go again.

Fun and very interesting. Tour guide, Victor, is funny and personable and really takes the time to explain everything about the San Antonio region. He goes above and beyond and quickly gets a feel of what your interests are for the tour. We passed by a church not on the tour and he allowed us time to enter which was a blessing due to the fact that there was adoration. He allowed us time to pray which was very respectful of Victor. He gave us a plan of the day overview and throughout the tour let us know what was next. He took pictures which he later emailed to us and he even had snacks which included homemade cookies. Highly recommend this tour with Victor.

Victor took my husband and I on a four hour tour this morning. Victor is a great story teller. He brought fruit nuts and homemade cookies from his daughter. We saw everything from the Alamo to the Tower of the Americas, famous old churches and the River walk. I highly recommend this tour.

We had the best and most informative and historical tour with Victor! We could tell he had done extensive research on all things San Antonio and answered all of our questions! Victor even had recommendations for restaurants and other historical experiences in the area! Money well spent! Highly recommend!

Victor was amazing and very knowledgeable, we had a great time. Highly recommend this tour! Thank you so much Victor!!!

I absolutely love history and Westerns, this is why I made this trip out here solo. I booked a walking tour so that way I could shamelessly eat as much TEXAS BBQ as I want. The whole experience was wonderful, Victor was extremely knowledgeable, funny, and friendly. From the moment we met he was delightful. He had me oooing and awwwing in between laughs, he had some great jokes and his delivery was good. Using a tablet to help with old photos as a visual aid to his stories was a nice touch. He was able to stir the imagination as he explained what was, what happened, how the people talk about it, and his own points of view, were good. Very friendly and helpful, was able to help several lost people find their destination, during our tour was going on. I was very impressed because he KNOWS San Antonio better than I know the back of my hand. I say this because he was able to point out some discrepancies and to be honest, it was very cool. During the tour he made several recommendations for me onto occupy my time once the tour was over. I did just about ALL OF THEM... I had a wonderful time and would highly recommend doing this tour if you like walking, love history, and want to share some laughs. There are photos from our tour, the cruise, and the tower of Americas.

Victor guided us back through time with his rich storytelling, abundant knowledge, and commitment to accuracy. He proved also to be an active listener, adapting the tour to our time and interests (and some gnarly cold winds). Though we fell into this tour via a couple of mediocre marketing platforms, we could not believe our great good fortune in seizing the opportunity to spend such transformative time with Victor, particularly early in our visit to San Antonio. We highly recommend that travelers book this tour early in their San Antonio itineraries, as it is the gift that keeps on giving throughout the rest of the stay (and beyond). Salud!

Victor ran a great tour and we enjoyed it a great deal. If you can only have time to do one tour of Sanitation this is the one to take. Joe Male, Black Diamond, WA.

This tour is a MUST DO! My 10 year old son recently studied about the Alamo and wanted to visit. This tour was perfect! Victor was incredibly knowledgeable of the rich culture and history of the area. He was amazing with my son and kept all 3 of us engaged for 4+ hours and caterer the tour to our interests. We created some special memories today! By the end of the tour, it felt like Victor was one of our family members.

Excellent tour with a very knowledgeable and personable guide. I highly recommend this tour if you are visiting San Antonio for the first time or are unfamiliar with the downtown area.

This trip was every dollar worth it! Our guide Victor was full of history, fun facts and generally just a good guy! He gave us so many tips and taught us so much about the history. You get free entrance into all the places listed and it winds up to be a really good time and the best bang for your buck.

Victor is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about San Antonio history. We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour.

An absolute MUST DO! A wonderful way to begin our visit to San Antonio and the highlight of our trip! Victor brought the rich history of this city to life for us. Fascinating stories and tidbits of information we would have never known all while enjoying all the places and things to do in San Antonio. Victor was just Fabulous and we were sad to leave him when our tour ended. A new lifelong friend!

Our tour guide was so very knowledgeable! Since I grew up on the East coast, I never really learned much about the missions and the Spanish influence on our country! It was Such a fun and educational experience!! Highly reccomend!!!

We had an excellent walking tour with Victor on our half day excursion! Victor’s knowledge of SAT history at our stops, including wonderful information and history of local places along our city walk, was one of the highlights of our visit to San Antonio. Highly recommend Victor and this tour.

Victor was our tour guide for a 5 hour walk. He was the most knowledgable and professional guide ever. He was a walking storyteller!! Highly recommend him to anyone.
