Informative Day Trio - Loretta was great. This turned out to be a private tour as my wife and I were the only two on the tour. Fredericksburg was enjoyable, cute shops and The Rathskeller has great German food. LBJ was very informative. It’s good we knew Lukenbach was very small.

Loretta was great - Loretta picked me up and I was surprised to find I was the only one. That worked out great for me as it allowed me to spend whatever time I wanted to at the sites. I absolutely loved it. Wasn’t really expecting much of Fredericksburg or Luckenbach but luckenback was the highlight of my tour and one of the best parts of my trip to Texas The old general store was amazing and full of really old grocery items left behind when it closed down many years ago before it was reopened The people there weee friendly but the musicians playing was the best bit. I would have happily sat there all day in the sun listening to them Only downside was the LB Johnson house was closed to the public which Viator should have told me about when the trip was booked as that is a main part of the trip so I wasn’t happy that I wasn’t informed but Loretta was great She allowed me to stay as long as I liked at the bits I wanted. Would def do this again if I came back to San Antonio

Lucky to have Loretta as a guide - Loretta was a wonderful tour guide. She introduced herself to my friend and I and we hit it off immediately! Her daughter is in the army and we are both retired army wives so we had an immediate link. She was informative, gave us great interesting info about LBJ and his family. She answered our questions and helped us with resturant suggestions, even what to see on our future trolley car tour. Together we have had many tours,Loretta gets an A++

Uncomfortable and not worth the price - Vehicle used is small, very uncomfortable and dangerously difficult to get into and out of, especially for the elderly. Fredricksburg is a waste of time. There is no local transportation of any kind, so unless you have your own car you're stuck within a couple of blocks with nothing of real interest to see. Nothing in Luckenback either.

Texas hill country nice... - Texas hill country nice but on the LBJ ranch , one building had mold, could not go in; another one being painted no access. A partial adjustment should have been made. ALso the stop at the winery was awful - since when do u pay for sample tasting
