Itinerary

We will arrive at the Capital city of Texas: Austin. Guests will have a chance to go inside for the State Capitol, contains the offices and chambers of the Texas Legislature and the Office of the Governor. Next, we will visit Texas Military Forces, a museum about the history of Texas' militia, volunteer forces and Texas Military Forces from 1823 to the present. . At night, you may choose to join our Night Tour in San Antonio. Itinerary: Austin → Texas State Capitol (Inside visit, 60 mins) → University of Texas at Austin (tour on bus, 20 mins) → Texas Military Forces Museum (60 mins, will not visit if it closed) → Natural Bridge Caverns (Optional, 90 mins, canclled from 01/01/2020) → St. Antonio Night Tour (Optional, 160 mins) St. Antonio Night Tour We will take you to see the tower of Friendship, tower of Americas, the river walk cruise for night view. Ernie Pyle once described the River Walk as “The American Venice” and it’s easy to see why. If you tried to imagine a place where the sights, sounds and flavors of Native America, Old Mexico and the Wild West blend effortlessly with the hustle and bustle of a modern city, it would probably look a lot like the San Antonio Natural Bridge Caverns The Natural Bridge Caverns are the largest known commercial caverns in the U.S. state of Texas. The caverns feature several unique speleothems and other geological formations. The temperature inside the cave is 21 degrees Celsius (70°F) year-round and the humidity rate is a constant 99 percent. The caverns are still very active and considered living. Due to the porosity of the limestone, rainwater travels downwards through the layers of rock, where it dissolves out calcite, a weak mineral that makes up all the speleothems at Natural Bridge Caverns. After exiting the limestone, water enters the caverns where it flows and drips constantly throughout, causing the formations to retain a waxy luster that can be seen in few caverns.

* If Texas State Capitol is closed, we only visit outside. * Texas Military Forces Museum is closed on every Monday, will not visit if closed.

In the morning, we will go to the Alamo Mission. Next, the Buckhorn Museum features wildlife from all over the world; including fish from the seven seas, animals from every continent and strange animal oddity which have been collected for over 100 years! Later on, we will visit Historic market Square and Tower of the Americas. Itinerary: The Alamo (60 mins) → The Buckhorn Saloon and Texas Ranger Museum (Optional, 60 mins) → Historic Market Square (60 mins) → Tower of the Americas (Optional, 60 mins) The Alamo The Alamo, originally a Roman Catholic mission, was the site of a famous historic battle in 1836 in which the Mexican army laid siege to the building that was defended by a small group of Texans. Buckhorn Saloon& Texas Ranger Museum Located right in the heart of downtown San Antonio, we are two blocks from the Alamo and one block from the Riverwalk. For over 131 years, The Buckhorn Saloon has been known as a gathering place for good conversation, great food and spectacular wildlife exhibits.
