This spring, Making Memories Tours is proud to present our newest product, Texas by Train. Our trip to the heart of Texas takes place right in the middle of Bluebonnet season, so you can expect plenty of vibrant wildflowers on the adventure. On this journey, we will make our way to San Antonio and Texas Hill Country, and we will be arriving by train.

Meals: Breakfast, Dinner

Our adventure in Texas continues today with a full day of sightseeing around old San Antonio. Today you are free to explore because there is a "hop-on, hop-off" tour through the city. You can hop on a double-decker bus and hop off at any attraction you want to see. Stay as long or as short as you like; when you're ready to go, you simply wait for another bus. Repeat until you've taken in as much as you like. This evening we have an included meal at the Tower of the Americas. This revolving restaurant gives us all an incredible 360-degree view of San Antonio.

Today we'll enjoy a leisurely morning as we visit some interesting sites in San Antonio. The Guenther House and Pioneer Flour Mill will be our day's first stop. The home was initially built as a private residence in 1859 by Pioneer Flour Mills founder Carl Hilmar Guenther. Next, we will have an included lunch at "Mi Tierra Restaurant and Bakery" Afterwards, we mosey over to the Mission Concepcion. This chapel, founded in 1731, is the oldest unrestored church in America. Two bell towers flank its main entrance, and the entire structure is made of locally sourced stone. We will be returning to our hotel tonight in downtown San Antonio.
