Your morning begins with a fascinating tour of San Antonio, stopping at The Alamo, the Institute of Texan Cultures, and the Mission of San Jose. Later, you’ll visit the San Antonio Shoe (SAS) factory, see where these famous shoes are made, and explore their turn-of-the-century general store. This evening, perhaps you will partake in an optional dinner in one of San Antonio’s local restaurants and see the IMAX presentation of “Alamo…
The Price of Freedom.” Today breakfast will be included.
