AAPG Home : Meetings : 2008 ACE-San Antonio : Guests
All guest tours will depart from and return to the Grand Hyatt Hotel.
There are numerous activities and fiesta events throughout the city to choose from if guests want to venture out on their own, or they can join one of the group tours offered. Guests and spouses will have the opportunity to tour 17th Century Spanish Missions, local museums and historic old mansions and neighborhoods in downtown San Antonio. Others may observe unique South Texas artisan glass blowers and shop at the Mexican Mercado. Or perhaps some would enjoy a fashion show and shopping at one of the newest, most upscale malls in the country. A visit to the beautiful Texas Hill Country is also available with a trip to historic Fredericksburg for a browse through wonderful antique shops and a sample of a Texas winery. There is something for everyone!
Registered guests are welcome to visit the Suite (at the Grand Hyatt Hotel) during the following hours:
Enjoy a special fashion presentation created exclusively for you by Neiman Marcus at this single-level, garden-like retail village whie you enjoy mimosas and muffins. Then alternate shopping and a cosmetic makeover followed by lunch and shopping until time for departure.
Labeled the “Queen of the Missions” due to it being the largest of the missions in the area, Mission San José is the first stop in exploring the historic sites of San Antonio. You'll stroll through the historic King William District, drive by “The Alamo,” and finish in Market Square.
That Old World charm still exists in Fredericksburg which is home to numerous natural and historical parks and its historic district provides guests with a view into her past. Follow this with a visit to area wineries for a tour and tasting of the many award-winning Texas wines.
Savor a little-known page of Alamo City history at the Japanese Tea Gardens then continue to the San Antonio Museum of Art. Next stop is Garcia Glass Art Inc. for a demonstration by the delightful and creative artist herself, Gini Garcia. Guests may finish with lunch nearby or return to the hotel.
