San Antonio Tours
We are walking tour addicts; we often travel and add at least one walking tour to our itinerary, even in cities we often visit and know well. Given the size of San Antonio and its rich history over several centuries, I was quite surprised by how few options for walking tours I could find online, and of those few, only San Antonio Walks and Drives fit the bill — the other ... More s seemed rather mundane and kitschy. My 17-year-old son and I just spent the day with Gary— first on the amazing History Tour and then on the stunning Missions Tour. Gary’s tours were akin to crash college courses. He is well versed in the subjects and passionate about the accuracy of the information. He is a splendid storyteller, and we finished our day learning what happened, to whom, where and why. There is so much more to this dynamic city and its place in Texas, the USA and the world than I ever imagined. Spending time with Gary is an absolute must if you want to really learn about San Antonio and the history of South Texas.
Original Deadwood Tour
We start with the Ft. Laramie Treaty of 1868. Tell you about Custer's Expedition to the Black Hills, which incidentally started the Gold Rush of 1874. We continue with tales of the infamous Jack McCall and end with present-time history. You will see historical landmarks, points of interest and the Chinese and Badland sections of town. On the way to the cemetery, we recount ... More the legendary lives of Wild Bill Hickok, Calamity Jane and Potato Creek Johnny. Who is Potato Creek, you ask? Take our tour, and you will learn about this bigger-than-life character Deadwood is proud to call its own. While in the cemetery, we will point out other characters who contributed to Deadwood's history. Preacher Smith and Madam Dora DuFran are just two you will want to hear about. There is more! Mt. Moriah lookout, a 300-foot cliff, where spectacular pictures are made. Gaze down at Deadwood Gulch while enjoying the breeze and essence of ponderosa pine. We will tell you about the Homestake Gold Mine and other interesting facts on the way back.
