Over the course of 300 years, the Alamo is considered one of the most prominent sites in the United States. This historical landmark stands at the heart of San Antonio and it is also a reminder of how Texas got its independence. In 2018, Step On Bus Tours will get a chance to tour the iconic building in San Antonio, Texas where it all began!
The 18th century Mission San Antonio de Valero Complex is now known as The Alamo. It was part of a 13-day battle that was fought between the Republic of Texas and Mexico. It took place from February 23, 1836 to March 6, 1836. The Mexicans won the battle and killed all of the Texan soldiers who were located inside of the fort.
Did you know that the site welcomes up to 2.5 million visitors per year? The complex includes a chapel, barracks, gardens and a small museum. If you are a history buff, this is the tour for you! Visitors will get a chance to tour the grounds and learn additional details about how Texas gained their freedom.
The Alamo remains open for 364 days per year. The site also has a calendar of events which features free history talks several times out of the day in the Calvary Courtyard. In addition, it also includes living history presentations that sometimes include period impressions and live demonstrations of fire starting, leatherworking, or textile making. There is also a 17-minute film that tells of the 300 – year Alamo story which is shown at the Long Barracks Theater and the Alamo Arbor.
Starting February 24-March 4, 2018 , Step On Bus Tours will tour the wonders of Texas which includes San Antonio, Padre Island and the Gulf of Mexico.
