Autumn Pacheco

Born and raised in San Antonio, Autumn is a true local with deep family roots and a lifelong connection to the city she proudly calls home. She loves showing visitors that San Antonio is more than stereotypes—starting with the fact that not every Texan has a southern accent. Autumn’s favorite part of guiding is building trust with her guests, especially when they follow up later to share photos from places she recommended. Her local advice always comes back to one thing: eat local. From small, family-owned restaurants to uniquely Texan experiences like Buc-ee’s (a rite of passage, not just a gas station), Autumn believes the best way to experience Texas is through its people, food, and everyday traditions.

Warren Christilles

A sixth-generation Texan whose family roots date back to the 1840s, Warren brings a deep love and respect for San Antonio’s layered history to every tour. He’s passionate about helping visitors understand the city as a truly multicultural place—rich in tradition, inclusive by nature, and welcoming to all. Warren treasures the moments when guests tell him how much they’ve learned or how surprised they are by what they’ve discovered. For a true local experience, he encourages visitors to take part in major cultural celebrations like Fiesta or the Stock Show & Rodeo, and to explore hidden gems such as South Side charreadas (Mexican rodeos) and the Hill Country’s underground caverns.

Dylan Coffey

Originally from Indianapolis, Dylan may be a Hoosier at heart—but San Antonio’s history, culture, and energy quickly won him over. After moving to Texas with his family, he fell in love with the city and has made it home. Dylan enjoys helping guests see past the “Alamo and River Walk” version of San Antonio, introducing them to UNESCO-listed missions, the Pearl District, Bracken Cave, and vibrant local neighborhoods. He’s especially touched when guests follow up after tours to share how their perspective changed or how one of his restaurant recommendations made their trip. His advice for experiencing Texas like a local? Get out, explore the missions, wander La Villita, and grab breakfast tacos from a hole-in-the-wall spot.

Nancy is deeply moved by guests’ emotional reactions, heartfelt goodbyes, and moments of discovery throughout her tours. Her passion lies in bringing history to life, especially through the UNESCO World Heritage Missions, where storytelling transforms visitors into active participants in Texas’s ongoing story.
