Great time knowing San Antonio - Starting with Nancy Rios picking us up at the hotel she made us feel very welcomed. The tour stsrted with a visit to the alamo, however she gave us a very detailed history of the Emily Morgan hotel. At the Alamo the history was told in very detailed manner and then we had a chance to walk the church and grounds. At Mission San Jose, again she explained the history and had a chance to sit athe church and experiene the artwork and had a chance to embrace the spiritually of the space. She explained how the aquaducts worked serving the other missions. We ended with a trip on the river and she took us directly to the boat. Both my wife and I were extremely appreciative of her knowledge and the time we spent together. THANK YOU, NANCY!

Really recommend this tour - especially if you don't have a car - Great way to see San Antonio, especially if you don't have a rental car. We were picked up at our downtown hotel by Nancy Rios, who skillfully navigated the city's busy streets, all while presenting 7 of us in the van with tips and historical facts. Don't miss the film at the Alamo of how the interior looked when the church was active. Because of the government shutdown, the Mission San Jose should have been closed at this National Park, but the Franciscan friars kindly opened it up for tourists. The views from the Tower of the Americas would have been better if the window glass had been cleaned; it was covered in fingerprints. There was a glitch at the Riverwalk boats: all rides were cancelled after 5 PM due to a kayak race being held on the river, but Nancy made it right by sending us our electronic tickets so we rode the next day by ourselves, instead. We had a great time.
