I have been visiting the Alamo my entire life, starting in primary school to just two years ago. In all of those visits, not one person mentioned the outlines of the original structures painted on the ground. Thank you so much for this video tour of the Alamo. God bless Texas!!! Remember the Alamo!

I finally got to visit the Alamo a couple years ago. I was a Davy Crockett fan my whole life. Just standing in front of the Alamo filled me awe and new respect for the defenders. I have a different perspective than most visitors because I'm a proud relative of Davy Crockett.

The Alamo has a such a weird aura to it. I worked a street over on the riverwalk- definitely spooky at night and you can feel it.

I have lived a couple hours from San Antonio most of my life and have been fascinated by the Alamo since I was a child, too. Genealogy studies by my sister show that I am related to two of the defenders. I have walked your described path many, many times. Your video and narration is one of the best presentations on this special place that I have ever seen. Thank you.

Welcome to Texas and thanks for remembering the Alamo.

Great video, I was born, raised and currently reside in San Antonio and appreciate the attention you gave the Alamo. Thank you!

We saw the Alamo years ago. It's amazing, you're in the middle of a huge modern city, come around a corner, and there it is - really cool! I read that a group of wealthy Texas women leaned on their husbands to pass a law that the mission could never be torn down for condos or whatever (and there are those out there who would do that!).

My favorite history lesson. It was such an amazing feeling when I first visited!

[anthonycantu]

I went to San Antonio and, of course, visited "The Alamo." It's a must see, for sure. Don't forget to read "Forget the Alamo, The Rise and Fall of an American Myth." It dovetails nicely with your tour.
Happy trails and a big ADIOS AMIGOS!

I was there this past summer I would highly recommend San Antonio the people are lovely I would definitely go back.

When visiting San Antonio you may be interested in checking out the San Antonio Missions Park. Where there are a few mission churches that were built around about the same time as the Alamo, 1700'ish. And interesting they are still standing strong and still in use today.

That’s it !!! I’m going back to the Alamo this summer for my week off vacation. After the last time I went there was about 20 years ago I’m going back. GOD BLESS TEXAS ❤

[markadams]

Well done! Thank you. God Bless Texas!

Thanks for this tour! It's been over a decade since I've properly explored the Alamo. As a San Antonioan, I'm overdue. But with COVID going on right now, this is the next best thing until I can go in person again.

I watched the movie with my dad when I was 13, and I’ve been interested in the Alamo ever since! This was a great video 👏🏼

I remember talking about the Alamo back in elementary school in the 1970's it was very interesting .Till this day I have not been there, I would love to go there and see the Alamo.I hope to visit this year if not soon.2022.

I haven’t been to the Alamo in years. My aunt would take my sisters and I to Texas every single summer for a week to visit my great uncle and we also have a friend that was stationed somewhere in Texas as well so as we were visiting we went to the Alamo and OMG! I miss it. San Antonio is beautiful.. The River Walk is also awesome too. It reminds me of Italy (I’ve only seen pictures of Italy lol)

The whole mission should be restored. All those buildings should be moved that are on the original footprint. Obscene to have buildings sit on this massive gravesite.

I’m a Mexican living in California. History is my passion and I recently made a pilgrimage to the Alamo, and I couldn’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia that I was standing in the battleground of one of histories greatest turning points in North America. It’s a must visit for anyone that adores history in general.

I am stationed in Texas right now and have made sure to the Missions of San Antonio, Gonzalez for the first shot, Goliad for the four battles and San Jacincto. Honestly you could visit all Texas War of Independence sites on a long weekend.
