What to Expect from Our Guides
Come rain or come shine, we’re ready to play,
With umbrellas and water to brighten your day.
Add a splash of flavor, a twist, or a zing,
We’ve got little extras to make your heart sing.
A first aid kit handy, sanitizer too,
Keeping things fresh for our whole walking crew.
For kiddos, there’s coloring—pages and more,
To keep them amused while we stroll and explore.
Then comes the contest—take careful aim,
Our shooting game’s fun and a little bit tame.
But win it, and oh, what a treat you’ll unlock—
A $10 Kilwins gift card for fudge, sweets, or choc!

Maggie
Local Legend

She navigated the streets with the horse-drawn carriages, made her way down to the river walk, and now walking the streets (in the tour guide style way). Maggie's knowledge of San Antonio is vast, and a good time will be had by all.
Mary
Navigating History
Mary knows the San Antonio River like the back of her hand. As a former riverboat captain on the iconic Riverwalk, she spent years navigating its winding waters and sharing its secrets with curious travelers. Now, as a passionate tour guide on land, Mary brings that same spirit of adventure and deep local knowledge to every step of the journey. With a captain's eye for detail and a storyteller's heart, she weaves history, humor, and hidden gems into unforgettable experiences through downtown San Antonio.
Barb
Sass & Stories
From the bright lights of NYC to the shimmering waters of San Antonio, Barb has done it all—and then some. She started her career as a beloved children’s entertainer in New York City, mastering the fine art of balloon animals, glitter, and toddler diplomacy.
She then took a sharp left turn into showbiz-meets-blackjack, dazzling audiences (and slightly confusing tourists) as a Bette Midler impersonating card dealer on the Las Vegas Strip.
Now, Barb brings her larger-than-life personality to the San Antonio River as a boat captain and tour guide, combining facts, flair, and just the right amount of sass.
