Disappointed. We had hoped for a walking tour to get a better sense of the city, but an hour before the tour we were told they were changing it to a minivan tour. The tour did not include the light show at the cathedral as advertised. The description of the tour is misleading because it also did not include entrance into the Alamo. The Tower tour was very interesting. And we enjoyed the river boat cruise. Our tour guide was very friendly, but we did not feel that we got our money’s worth on this tour.

My tour guide was great. I was the only person signed up. It was cool to have a private tour of the area. There were so many beautiful sights. The tower of America was fantastic. I enjoyed all the beautiful views. Thank you for a wonderful evening last night Rene!
