Great tour of downtown - Our guy did a great job of explaining the history of San Antonio in the downtown area. He picked us up right at our hotel and made it easy. We met some other great people on the trip From the US and the UK.

Great way to get an overview of the area. - Domingo was a great communicator, gave us lots of history and extra stories also as it related to him being a local. He was patient and cognizant of our comfort regarding the heat. We really enjoyed our tour!

Loved it! - Domingo was great tons of knowledge of everything that was on the tour kept us engaged the entire time gave us extra time to take pictures and look around at the stops. I would highly recommend this kind of tour if you are not a fan of the Texas heat in the summer months.

Pleasant morning tour of San Antonion! - Mike confirmed pick up at our hotel the day before and again that morning when he was on the way. We ended up being his only passengers and had a wonderful visit with him. He was very kind, personable and knowledgeable about the history and architecture of San Antonio. In the heat of July, this was a wonderful, air-conditioned way, to be introduced to San Antonio.

1/2 day tour. Alex was great! Well worth it. - Alex was the best! If possible request him to be your guide. We really enjoyed hearing all the history of San Antonio and the lunch was really good. If I am able to return to San Antonio I will definitely book the afternoon tour with Alex because the morning tour was great.
