About your trip

Join me for a long weekend visit to San Antonio!  We'll take a night-time cruise along the famed Riverwalk, then return the next day for a more in-depth look.  We'll visit El Mercado (the largest Mexican market outside Mexico) and the La Villita Arts Complex for a spot of shopping therapy.  We'll, remember the Alamo and learn about the city's surprising German heritage.  In the historic town of Greune, we'll peruse the historic General Store, eat lunch on the river, indulge in an afternoon wine tasting, and kick up our heels at the oldest dance hall in Texas. (Or maybe we’ll just listen to the music!)  We'll eat delicious puffy tacos, delectable BBQ, and, of course, enjoy yummy TexMex delights.  There might even be a margarita or two involved...

About your organizer

I’m Sheila Stone and I love travel so much that I started a tour company when I was 60. (Have I mentioned that I’m also a late bloomer?) I create and lead small groups of women to interesting places in Europe & Japan. I have also created some Speed Date a City weekends here in the States. My tours give women an opportunity to meet other women travelers and local women too. We support local businesses by staying in small hotels and eating at family restaurants as much as possible so this is travel you can feel good about!
