Mission tour - Joseph was our guide. He was very knowledgeable and gave a great tour of all the missions. Highly recommended. Be aware there is a lot of walking.

Excellent tour of four missions - Joseph is an excellent guide and deeply knowledgeable about the missions and San Antonio region and their history. The tour gave us lots of time to walk around each mission. The missions are far less crowded than the Alamo and well deserving of their World Heritage status.

San Antonio Mission Tour - We had a fantastic experience on the San Antonio Mission Tour! Our guide, Joseph, was incredibly knowledgeable and well-spoken—he brought the history of each mission to life with insightful stories and facts. The tour was comfortable and well-paced; we never felt rushed and had plenty of time to explore and take photos. The clean, air-conditioned van was a huge plus, especially in the Texas heat. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to learn more about the area's rich history in a relaxed and informative setting.

Highly Recommended Missions Tour! - We had a wonderful tour of the Missions and learned so much. As a local, Matt is extremely well-versed in the history of South Texas, the Hill Country, San Antonio, the Missions and so much more. Being from Texas we visit San Antonio regularly and have been to the Alamo countless times. I'm so glad that we took this Texian Tour to learn about the area's history and culture.
