Free Tours are offered on a pre-set schedule, released one month at a time.

Once the schedule of Free Tours is published for a month, it is unlikely that more tour options will be added. But you’re welcome to send us a message asking to be notified if any Free Tours are added. Please include in your message the dates you’ll be in San Antonio.

The parking situation Downtown fluctuates quite a bit depending on day and time. But here are a couple tips…

An affordable option for parking is the Bexar County Parking Garage (211 S. Flores St.) It’s a five-minute walk from the tour’s meeting spot, and the cost is usually $12 for all day parking. To check the price before heading that way, call 210-335-2700.

Metered parking along the street can also be a good idea on Sundays or after 4pm on all other days. A good area to look for metered parking is around 115 S. Flores St. Always read the signage, but there’s usually a two-hour max before 6pm (and it’s free after 6pm). On Sundays, metered parking is free.

Both of the above addresses will put you near the start of the tour and are inexpensive, but they’re a bit farther away from the core of Downtown.

San Antonio has over 300 days of sunshine! We love rain when it arrives, but we also prioritize the wellbeing of our tour members in less than ideal weather.

As such, unsafe conditions or logistical conflicts may cause tours to be canceled. To confirm if a tour is still taking place, just text/call/WhatsApp us at +1 210-560-0807.

Texas can be very hot in the summer, but whenever possible, tours are scheduled at times when temps are cooler. The hottest temps are at street level, but things cool down once on the river level. We take advantage of air conditioning, seating, and shade at every opportunity along the way.

Guests are encouraged to dress in cool clothing, wear hats and sunscreen, and bring water!

We love offering Free Tours, for which tips are very, very appreciated. Amigo’s Free Tours receive no subsidies from the city or business sponsorships, so they’re entirely funded by guests’ tips.

However, high-fives, thank you's, and the naming of firstborns after tour guides are equally accepted.

Guides are happy to receive tips in cash or via Venmo in-person. After the fact, you can tip via Venmo (@AmigoSA), PayPal, or credit card by clicking here.

…cars and frequent flier miles are also happily accepted.

Please note: Zelle is not accepted.

Yes! Our guides are sensitive to the needs of tour members and will make available every opportunity for rest and care.

All ages are welcome, but the tour is best for those comfortable with leisurely walking a mile and listening to some really good stories.

Our guides work hard to make routes accessible and easy to traverse.

The Free Tour of Downtown typically includes five sets of stairs over the course of the tour.

If this is a challenge or there are other mobility or sensory concerns, just let us know in advance, and we will gladly find a workaround!
