Best Tour of San Antonio!!! - This tour exceeded all of our expectations! There were 5 of us and we're still talking about how perfect the day was! The tour was balanced between time to walk around, time on bus, and such exceptional knowledge of San Antonio's history. The stories of Texas came to life and we collectively rate this as the highlight of our trip!! Professional for sure....but so entertaining! A "must do" if you visit!!

Great way to see San Antonio Highlights - Great way to see the highlights of San Antonio if you are on a short stay. We really enjoyed the Mission tour and our guide did an amazing job of guiding us through the history of the missions in San Antonio and the daily life of the folks who lived at the Missions. From there we went on to the Alamo. Our guide Dylan was great and gave us an overview of the Alamo and events leading up to the battle before we entered the Alamo. Unfortunately only state personnel are allow to guide you at the Alamo but we were well prepped going in. Next up was a cruise on the River Walk along with an over view of its creation. Finally a trip up the Tower of the Americas. Throughout Dylan explained points of interest along the way and made sure we were comfortable throughout the tour.
