What to do and see in San Antonio, Texas (TX): The Best Private Tours

July 23, 2021 Nicolette Lion

Step to the beat of wafting flamenco music as you wander the downtown River Walk before sampling as much chili (San Antonio’s signature dish) as your taste buds will allow. A visit to the Alamo is an absolute must, as is taking in a show at the ornate Majestic Theatre. San Antonio Missions National Historical Park is dotted with 18th-century buildings and features, making for an enriching excursion.

We had a great tour with Adam, our pilot! We did the Ultimate 45 minute tour and saw so much of San Antonio and the Hill Country. We flew over downtown twice, saw the zoo, Fiesta Texas, Medina Lake, The Dominion, Sea World and the San Antonio River. Jose was very friendly and explained everything to us and helped us in and out of the helicopter.Overall great experience and awesome people! Would recommend!

Kevin and Liz exceeded our expectations with their warm personality, adventurous attitude and fun vibes! The wife and I lived in San Antonio for 30+ years and learned more about the historical aspect of the city in 4 hours compared to all the years in grade school! In the midst of sight seeing through the city, Kevin and Liz made sure to connect with us personally. If you observed us during the tour, you could have predicted we were life long friends who just reconnected after not seeing each other for years! If you are looking for something unique, spontaneous and adventurous mixed with fun ~ than DO NOT think twice ... reserve a seat! HIGHLY recommend for couples or even someone trying to entertain a friend or family member for a day! I plan on bringing my two older kids next time and make it a family trip.
