Katrina Entzminger, Visitor Services Manager: "Our staff have lived in San Antonio for decades and know every corner of the city."

"We help people explore the city based on their interests -- golf, sports, culture, adventure, nature, water and other theme parks, tubing, helicoptor and hot air baloon rides, tours, hiking, horseback riding, hotels, museums, parks ... where to take children, where to stay with pets, how to get around by trolley or car, where to park your RV. Where to eat or stay, how to explore the Texas Hill Country, and the Wine Country, which is right on our doorstep. "

Five top questions visitors ask
