Pleasant morning tour of San Antonion! - Mike confirmed pick up at our hotel the day before and again that morning when he was on the way. We ended up being his only passengers and had a wonderful visit with him. He was very kind, personable and knowledgeable about the history and architecture of San Antonio. In the heat of July, this was a wonderful, air-conditioned way, to be introduced to San Antonio.

1/2 day tour. Alex was great! Well worth it. - Alex was the best! If possible request him to be your guide. We really enjoyed hearing all the history of San Antonio and the lunch was really good. If I am able to return to San Antonio I will definitely book the afternoon tour with Alex because the morning tour was great.

Note I understand the battle - The tour guide was very knowable and took the time to answer all our questions at the end. I have a much better understanding of the Why and the battle of the Alamo! Love it. Well worth the money and time.

Best Experience Ever! Thank you Alex G! - We took the Grayline Tour of San Antonio City and the Tour of the 5 Missions in San Antonio. Both tours we had Alex G. as our guide and I cannot say enough about our experience. He was very informative! Knew all the in's and out's of the city and the history of the missions. He was considerate and thoughtful. I would so highly recommend these two tours to fully understand the history of San Antonio

Great informative half day tour! - Domingo was an amazing driver and guide for our morning half day tour this morning! Not only knowledgeable of the area, but delivered the information in an interesting way. He was fun and enjoyable! We (all 7 of us) agree he did a fantastic job and highly recommend this tour.

Disappointed. - Informative 2 hours with Alex. The last 2 hours were nothing but going to a restaurant. Not what I expected.

Not a 4 hour tour - The trip was advertised as 4 hours. After 2.25 hours we were dropped off for 1.25 hour lunch and that was the end of the tour. So the tour was really only 2.25 hours, not 4.
