San Antonio River Walk Tour: Self-Guided GPS Audio App

Join two popular Country Music performers as they lead you on a fun, Texas-style walk through two of America’s most fascinating and historic areas… the beautiful San Antonio River Walk… and the heroic battle of the Alamo.

As y’all walk along the beautiful pathways alongside the water and over its delightful arched bridges you’ll hear two awesome and legendary, yet very different, stories. One story is about the fight to create the incredible River Walk in the Great Bend area of the San Antonio River, changing it from what was basically a polluted sewer. And a second story, located just steps away from the river, is about the heroic and tragic battle at the Alamo to keep Texas independent. Together these events today are celebrated by millions of visitors annually making them the most popular destinations in Texas.
