History Buffs - Our guide Joseph was incredibly knowledgeable and informative. I must say, I loved his narratives and he took his time. If you love history, this is your guy and tour.

Great Historic Tour - Our guide Joseph was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the entire area and was able to explain how each mission was established and how they came to be as they are today. Joseph kept our group well organized and comfortable. On our Sunday tour he was very respectful of the local parishioners attending mass at the missions. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and thought Joseph was a fantastic guide.

Fabulous Historical Tour - San Antonio missions were a great way to understand the founding of San Antonio. Our guide Joseph was incredibly knowledgeable and brought a true richness to the tours. As we were touring on Good Friday, his understanding of the local religious services and observances, we were able to see the missions while not disturbing the parishioners. We would highly recommend this tour for those with interest in the history of San Antonio and would recommend seeing the older missions before touring the Alamo.

San Antonio Missions Tour - Joseph was an awesome tour guide for this experience. He was knowledgeable and provided lesser known facts in addition to more popular historical information. We recommend this tour to anyone wanting a history lesson in these centuries old sites.
