A scar from a cannonball is still etched in the walls of the Alamo, marking where revolution tore the city’s heart in two. San Antonio’s streets hum with secrets, echoing whispers of legends and lost empires beneath bright lights and river breezes.

Unlock the true spirit of San Antonio on this self-guided audio tour. Wind through lively plazas and hushed corridors as stories hidden from guidebooks come alive in your headphones.

Which Tower of the Americas visitor triggered a citywide panic? What clue hides under River Walk bridges from a long-forgotten scandal? Why did Spanish priests once ring church bells at midnight—for reasons darker than you might guess?

Trace a path through battlegrounds and moonlit water, bustling marketplaces and silent crypts. Each turn delivers surprise: history carved into stone, revolution reflected in rushing water, rebellion pulsing beneath cobblestones.

Start now and let San Antonio reveal what it usually keeps hidden.
