  • Anywhere

EXPERIENCE

Your tour guide will meet you at the Start of The River Walk Mall in San Antonio, Texas, located at 849 E Commerce St, and then we will start our guided portion at the Torch of Friendship – a 65 ft tall sculpture weighing 45 tons. The Torch of Friendship was gifted to San Antonio by the Mexican government in 2002 and symbolizes the shared culture and cooperation between Mexico and San Antonio. From there, we will make our way along the Riverwalk to our first food stop, where you will enjoy a delicious Tortilla Soup made of traditional broth with tomato, chile Guajillo, and epazote.

Next, we will head back toward the Riverwalk passing by La Villita, San Antonio s first neighborhood, which was once beautiful farmland south of the Alamo. In 1939, President Franklin D. Roosevelt requested that the area be restored, and the city council dedicated the project to “the promotion of peace, friendship and justice between the United States of America and all other nations in the Western Hemisphere.” During this time, we will also pass by the Historic Village, Venue Villita, Presa Street Bridge, the Mexican Consulate, and the Tower Life Building.

You will then make your way to your next food stop, where you will have your choice of a delectable beef, chicken, or pork quesadilla paired with a yummy Mexican soda. Once you’ve finished your food and drink, we will continue along the Riverwalk, passing through Marriage Island and Kallison Love Lock Bridge, both very romantic destinations for couples. Marriage Island is a popular venue for couples to get married, while the Love Lock Bridge is covered in locks placed by couples as a sign of their everlasting love.

Following these locations, we will pass by the San Fernando Cathedral, founded on March 9th, 1731, by 15 families from the Canary Islands. This astounding Cathedral is the oldest, continuously functioning religious community in Texas.

From here, we will continue to our next restaurant stop, where you will get the opportunity to try your choice of authentic contemporary vegan, Baha, or shrimp tacos. Once you’ve finished your tasty tacos, we will head to our last food stop, where you will receive a Mexican dessert, yummy fried pastries with a Spanish heritage that will be sure to impress.

Once you have finished your dessert, your tour will be completed, your stomach will be satisfied, and your taste buds will be begging for more! Don’t hesitate to book this flavorsome, informative, and fun tour with See Sight Tours today.
