Audry
, Oct 2020
This is an excellent way to see the sites in San Antonio and then to decide which you want to visit in more detail later. We were picked up on time. Our guide, Anthony, was very well versed in the area's history, gave us the opportunity to explore some of the more interesting places and explained the time we were to be back at the bus. We had a handicapped person with us and his assistance was very helpful.

Highlights of San Antonio in one day
Rebecca_G
, Aug 2020
My family enjoyed a thorough tour of San Antonio with Domingo on Monday, Aug. 17. We saw many interesting areas of San Antonio, including two of the missions. Once we posted pictures on FB several friends commented that when they visited SA they must have missed some of the interesting things we did on the tour!!! This was a very hot day and the sun was brutal, so if you take the tour in the hot summer be sure to take sun block and wear a hat.

There is so much to see and learn and so much history in San Antonio that we recommend taking one of our tours and getting out of downtown for a while and really learning about the City. Thanks again and please come back and visit with us again soon and try our Texas Hill Country and LBJ Ranch Tour.

Alex did a superb job showing us around San Antonio. He showed us so many things that we never could have found on our own. He is so very knowledgeable about the city and it’s history. The trip was well worth the money and I would recommend it to everyone.

Great tour idea but not enough information
jason t
, Sep 2019
Alex is a very accommodating guide who wants all guests to be comfortable and happy What this tour was lacking was a more guided tour at each point of interest. There is a big difference in letting someone off at a point of interest and leaving them on their own versus a guide with you to give more information or answer questions
