An expert guide will recreate the insightful history and detailed accounts of the "Battle of the Alamo," one of the city's and the nation’s most significant historical events. The tour meets directly across from the entrance of the Alamo—just look for the red "Walks" shirt and go introduce yourself to the history-buff tour guide. Distinguish fact from fiction as your engaging tour guide tells the history and lore surrounding the city and its rich cultural heritage. Other attractions covered in the tour include the Main Plaza, the art community of La Villita, the river, and history surrounding the Cowtown Saloon days.

As an added bonus, San Antonio Walks will give Groupon buyers a complimentary gold card from Destination Dining to present at participating local eateries and receive a surprise or welcome gift from the chef.
