Downtown/River Walk walking tour…highly recommended! - Stewart was a wonderful guide! He is so knowledgeable of the area, the history, the architecture and he shared his knowledge in such a fun and engaging way. The tour was 3 hours, but it honestly flew by because there was so much to see, to learn, to experience! Our tour group of 7 laughed, listened intently and were just awed at his verbal and visual presentation during the tour. He whetted our appetite for more of what San Antonio has to see. If you have the opportunity, book a walking tour with Stewart Horne. You will be glad you did! -Charlie & Amy Glover, visiting from Alabama

Great tour - Stewart was very knowledgeable and accommodating. He paced the tour well allowing for needs of the group. He went overtime to include more detail. The photos in his binder really enhanced the tour and helped get us involved. His sense of humor really added to our enjoyment. He was an excellent ambassador for San Antonio.

Great tour of San Antonio - Stewart was very knowledgeable about San Antonio he brought along Alton a loose leaf filled with pictures hich he referred to often to help bring the stories to life We walked the river walk early 9am before the crowds massed. This was very helpful in giving us time to stop to take pictures without interruption. Stewart also took many pictures of my wife and myself with the river walk in the background. We also walked the street to the Alomo and he covered the history of the Alamo. All in all I was extremely happy with our guide Stewart

San Antonio’s Best Tour Guide! - Our San Antonio walking tour was excellent. Our tour guide, Stewart, was very personable and knowledgeable. While he gave us great insights to many points of interest, such as The Alamo and The Menger Hotel, his tour of The Riverwalk was exceptional. The knowledge he shared about The Riverwalk’s beginnings to what it is today was fabulous. We did the tour at the beginning of our stay in San Antonio, and it really helped us become familiar with the whole area. We highly recommend this tour with Stewart!
