My Offer
Let me tailor an unforgettable experience that showcases the best of this vibrant city. We can start with the enchanting Riverwalk, a network of picturesque waterways lined with charming shops, restaurants, and lush greenery. As we stroll along its winding paths, you'll be captivated by the serene atmosphere and the vibrant life that flows through this unique urban oasis.

Next, we'll delve into San Antonio's historic downtown, where centuries of history come alive. Explore cobblestone streets and beautifully preserved architecture, and you'll be transported back in time. The stories and legends of this area are sure to fascinate you.

The World Heritage Site, featuring the Spanish missions, is a UNESCO-designated gem. These centuries-old missions are not just architectural marvels but also a testament to the deep cultural connections between Native American communities and Spanish settlers. It's a journey back in time, and you'll feel the weight of history as you explore these historic gems.

Our exploration will also take us to the Museum Reach, a haven for art and culture enthusiasts. Here, you'll discover world-class museums, like the San Antonio Museum of Art, showcasing an extensive collection of artistic masterpieces. It's a feast for the senses and a tribute to the city's commitment to preserving and celebrating the arts.

Lastly, we'll visit the Mexican Market, a vibrant hub of color and culture. You'll experience the rich tapestry of Tex-Mex culture, with a range of unique crafts, delectable cuisine, and lively music. It's the perfect place to immerse yourself in the local flavor and pick up some unforgettable souvenirs.

But that's not all – our journey is entirely customizable to your interests. Whether you'd like to explore college campuses, visit the captivating painted churches, delve into the geological marvels of the region, or immerse yourself in the thriving art galleries, I'm here to tailor your experience precisely to your preferences. Let me be your guide on this voyage of discovery, where we uncover the hidden treasures of San Antonio, all designed with you in mind.

A true treasure by Konstantina

Helen's enthusiasm for the city is truly contagious, and her commitment to ensuring our enjoyment of her city was evident. She generously shared insider tips on the finest coffee spots, clarified the 'right' way to embrace happy hour, and provided valuable budget-friendly advice to discover million-dollar views of this lively and delightful city. We wholeheartedly embraced many of her suggestions during our two days here, and they've gifted us with unforgettable experiences that we'll treasure for years to come.

No traffic by Anita

Our host did a great job showing us around the city. She was very informative and we left knowing a lot more about the history of San Antonio. Sunday is the day to go no traffic easy to get around the city. Great job.

Satisfied by Charlotte

We hung out with Helen and were more than satisfied. She is a great host. She showed us places off the beaten paths and gave useful info on things to do on our own. Thanks again!

Very good experience by Kendra

I had a very good experience with city surfing and our host. The host was very informative and just fun to hang out with. I’d do it again in a heartbeat.

10 stars by Olivia

Our new friend was a lot of fun to hang out with and made our trip amazing. Much better to do this than explore the city on your own on your first visit. 10 stars!

Enjoyed the trip by Mark

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the trip.On our own it would have taken us twice the time. It saved us the aggravation of finding parking, buying tickets, and navigating the city. Our host was great.
