This experience is an 11-12 mile guided bicycle tour along the beautiful and scenic Mission Reach Trail as it winds along the San Antonio River.
This tour will take you to Mission Concepcion, Mission San Jose and other fascinating sites. At each mission your tour guide will walk the grounds with you and talk about the 18th-century Spanish Colonial period. You will gain an understanding about how these missions transformed the daily lives of the mission inhabitants, impacted the surrounding communities and help mold the culture of San Antonio and South Texas. Additionally, the tour guide will discuss the importance of the San Antonio River to the region and cover portions of local 19th and 20th Century history.
In addition to Mission Concepcion and Mission San Jose, other stops along the tour route include the Co-Cobijos art installation, the River Return art installation and the historic Hot Wells of Bexar County. Your tour guide will stop briefly at each site and provide an overview.
This tour offers a more in depth history of the San Antonio River, as well as San Pedro Creek. It also offers a wider range of history and is a great compliment to our Heart of San Antonio walking tour and/or a visit to the Alamo.
