Great Time Touring San Antonio
Loretta_T
, Jun 2021
Our Tour Guide, Domingo was extremely knowledgeable of the history of San Antonio. He was also courteous and patient as he responded to our many questions. The tour itinerary was interesting and fun. We especially enjoyed the Grotto and the Japanese Tea Garden which I’m sure we would have missed if we had chosen to venture out on our own.

Fabulous. Informative

All of it. We did the morning tour one day and the afternoon another. Domingo is a great tour guide. We were the only ones on the afternoon tour. Very personalized. Domingo had been our tour guide for the mission tour so there was no repetition. The art work around town is amazing.

Mission Tour
Donna_J
, Mar 2021
There must have been a mix up with our tour. I had requested to see the missions and our guide was expecting to take us on a city tour. He was very willing to accommodate us and changed our tour to the missions, which we really appreciated. He did a fantastic job showing us all of the missions in San Antonio. He was very knowledgeable and answered our questions, we learned a great deal about the history of Texas. We weren’t expecting snacks, but for the money, it would have been nice to at least have a bottle of water. Overall we enjoyed ourselves.

A great way to spend a day
Loretta_W
, Nov 2020
The guide was extremely knowledgeable and very accommodating to our needs, especially to the lady in the electric wheel chair. It would have been difficult to find a better tour guide. We were disappointed that the last 2 missions were closed but the guide gave a very good synopsis from the outside of the missions.
