Discover San Antonio

The east coast is a popular choice for student travel – New York City offers some of the most exciting attractions. Washington D.C. is packed with fascinating and educational sites and museums. Plus, cities like Boston, Salem, Philadelphia, Williamsburg – they’re rich with American history, scenes from our fight for liberty, and some of the oldest established homes and buildings in the country.

But don’t limit yourself to the eastern seaboard for history, culture, or educational tours. San Antonio student travel offers all of this as well, its flavor compelling Mark Twain to declare it one of America’s four unique cities. (The author also gave the distinguished label to Boston, San Francisco, and New Orleans).

You’ll discover this unique factor for yourself if you consider San Antonio for your next group or student tour. History abounds on sightseeing tours of the Alamo and along the gorgeous Paseo del Rio, or River Walk – an attraction that is also thrilling from the water itself on a San Antonio river cruise.

San Antonio culture is perhaps best found in Market Square with its variety of shopping and dining providing an authentic Mexican experience.

For sheer fun, you can’t beat San Antonio’s variety of theme parks, rides, and family events. This city lays claim to The Largest Sea World in the nation! It has four distinct parks. You can enjoy the Rides and Slides, the Show Park – one of Sea World’s most famous features, the Marine Animal Park, or the Water Park. You’ll also find the incomparable SIX FLAGS brand here with Six Flags Fiesta Texas and its amazing rides. Returning to the water theme, though, you cannot beat Schlitterbahn Water Park, known as THE BEST water park in the world. It’s a surfing, tubing, water slide, wave pool heaven, and just one of the exciting attractions that make San Antonio so perfect for groups.

If you’re looking for warmer weather in the middle of your northeast or midwest winter, or if you just want to discover San Antonio’s unique factor for yourself, consider this south central treasure for your next student travel tour.
