With an abundance of historic sites, gracious old residential neighborhoods, and lush garden areas, San Antonio is guaranteed to excite the urban explorer at every turn.San Antonio On Foot, second edition, by professional walking guide Diane Capito and former tour guide Mark Willis, is the walkers' guidebook of choice--newly revised and expanded. In addition to offering three new neighborhoods to discover, the walks have been streamlined to offer a short or longer walk option with estimated walking times included. Accurate, easy-to-use maps accompany each walk description.Designed for all abilities, these walks are stroller and wheelchair friendly, covering flat terrain (with only one clearly marked hilly exception), and are filled with the kind of information the city ambler needs--where to find the restrooms, restaurants, telephones, and water sources along the way. Complete with historical information as well as lively anecdotal details, San Antonio on Foot provides the perfect opportunity for native San Antonians as well as visitors to get out and discover one of America's most exciting and unusual cities.
As San Antonionians, my husband and I walk on the River Walk every few weeks simply because we love it. After readingDiane Capito's San Antonio on Foot, we tried several of her RiverWalk walks. We discovered new views and new wonders! After years of walking the RiverWalk, Ms. Capito showed us more sights! Delightful!
Excellent way to get to know San Antonio

The walks in this book are well-laid out and very interesting. San Antonio is a beautiful city and this book will help you appreciate it more fully, and get some excercise in the process! Even if you are not a walker, the book is a good guide to some places in San Antonio you might otherwise miss. PS-There are errors in the ad-the new edition IS available, and the book if far more than 4 pages long.
