 Stop at  King William Historic District

Though the area was originally just farmland, today the King William Historic District has become a diverse and abundant neighborhood. The King William area was owned by the 1718 Mission San Antonio de Valero (the Alamo). By the early 19th century, however, those missions were fully secularized and the land was bought, sold and divided into tracts.

With this magnificent carriage ride, you can learn more about the culture and history of the King William District, or simply treat yourself and a loved one to a quiet, romantic ride through this marvelous neighborhood. Enjoy many other things to do as well for the best San Antonio vacation!
