Walking only but avoid problems

DOMINGO_H, Nov 2025

You have to walk it or the tour won’t start. There was construction and bums in the area so we tried to drive it but apparently wouldn’t work that way.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

HI, oh, that's a bummer. The tour starts at the Alamo, the most famous spot in Texas. And goes around downtown San Antonio. As noted, this is a walking tour on the WalknTours app. Its developed to be walked :). So driving would not work well as you take the river walk at. one point and it goes to plazas and areas for walking only. In any case, if you'd like a refund, just email me at info@walkntours.com.

Fun date night.

Gloria_E, Oct 2025

We had fun! The sounds and information were great. I enjoyed more than being with a group. It was easy to follow and on point with the walking and voice starting. It takes you back to where you start. It was a great date night with my husband of 30 years.

Not my favorite

Stacey_W, Jun 2024

We have done self guided tours in other cities and they were great. This one was hard to follow and very confusing. We ended up not finishing and going back to our resort. Wasn’t my favorite.

App doesn't work

Angela_Z, Mar 2023

Had to download an app that wouldn't work. Had to download an app. Had to find the tour I paid for and then there was no way to add the code that I paid for it to use the guided tour. Very difficult to use.

No tour

Janet_W, Jul 2022

I was unable to download the app so was not able to do the tour. I'm sure it would have been great if I could have heard it.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Did you get the WalknTours app? And then use the experience code in the ticket (under step three of the ticket, not the booking number :) ), to unlock the tour? Some users think the tour is in the Viator app :(, but it's in the WalknTours app :) and you can get it on the App Store and Google Play. You need the WalknTours app to take the tour. Sorry to hear that you were unable to take the tour. But the good news is that it never expires, so you can take it anytime. If you do run into any downloading issues, I suggest shutting off WiFi, sometimes rouge wifi signal stops downloading. Or try to get on a trusted wifi.
