I must have been a tour guide in a past life. I do love putting together an exceptional itinerary.

For those who don’t, never fear! I’m here with a ready-made long weekend itinerary for you and your loved ones to enjoy. Adjust as needed/desired.

I tend to be a go-go-go person who crams as much as possible into a 24-hour period, but that might not be you. Don’t worry. You’ll just have to schedule future trips to experience all that is wonderful in the Alamo City.

For out of towners who want to avoid renting a car, check out VIA’s #7 Sightseer Special.

  1. I like the three day itinerary you listed on this website. I was wondering if you planned on creating a one-week itinerary because I live in San Antonio and there are many great places to visit. Plus it is summer time. Also, I hope you have great success with your 100 Things To Do in San Antonio Before You Die book.

    1. Francisco, Thanks for reading/commenting! A one-week itinerary is a great idea!!! I’ll work on creating one this summer. My book, “100 Things To Do in San Antonio Before You Die,” has been successful. I hope you have a chance to read it and give me your feedback! Please follow my blog via facebook.com/SanAntonioTourist so that you never miss a post. Cheers, Denise
