Join us for a unique river barge tour on which we’ll showcase the history of San Antonio and the architecture along our iconic River Walk! The River Walk been central to San Antonio’s identity for the last 80 years. It was originally developed as a linear park and improved in the 1940s as a progressive flood control and beautification project by architect, Robert Hugman. Come see this icon for yourself on this historic barge tour.
