Overall a very good and insightful experience. Great Historical significance to the development of this area of Texas. You will be glad you took this tour as you'll learn so much. It would be helpful to know what is the pick up time as this differs from the start time of the tour. We were not made aware of this until about an hour or so before the tour was to START. Sophia & Richard M.

This small-group tour is the perfect way to see the missions and learn about the founding of San Antonio with its rich history and culture. Experience Spanish History, the Coahuiltecans, and the early southwest. Learn about the significance of San Antonio, San Pedro Springs, and the groups that came together to set the stage for the founding of the Presidio - San Antonio. Your experience starts downtown, see: the original La Villita; Main Plaza, San Fernando Cathedral, and Plaza de Armas. Travel along the San Antonio River to visit all the missions with stops at Concepcion, San Jose, San Juan, Espada, and the Espada Aqueduct. Tour ends at Mission San Antonio de Valero, famously known as the Alamo, or guest's hotel. Guaranteed departures twice a day, with no minimum guest requirements.

This is a great tour. A must see. Hopefully Congress and the President will get together soon so that the National Park portions will reopen! Alex did a great job and was very informative. Appreciated his extra touch. We had rain and one of the missions was closed.

Lovely genuine tour guide but audio on van did not work. No water available. Guide was new and did not know too much. I took 5 friends on this tour and they were not impressed with the tour operator. It was nice that our pick up point was our hotel.
