My family came into town and wanted to do the tour. I’ve lived here for seven years and never seen any of the missions. Learned so much and was so thankful for our awesome to guide Sharon for giving us a rich history lesson.

My husband and I were the only couple that booked on April 22nd so it ended up being a personal tour. Matt Garcia picked us up in his van at our hotel since La Villita District was busy due to the Fiesta. Matt was very friendly and informative. His knowledge of the missions and local area was something we wouldn't have received if we taken this tour on our own. Matt made our afternoon tour very entertaining and we highly recommend this tour. Thank you Matt!

Our tour guide Alex was very knowledgeable about each site and added his sense of humor to keep us all engaged. It was obvious that he put a great deal of time into preparing his presentations and added some video clips to help us see events in action. He was very polite, considerate and entertaining.

We went on this small bus tour of the Missions just south of central San Antonio to save us having to drive between them, and also to learn more about their history. Joseph our guide never stopped talking, but in a good way! He was a fount of information. We really enjoyed the Missions and their gardens - you can photograph them easily as they are not crowded, unlike the Alamo. Texian Tours are very kind and helpful people. One of the passengers in the group had walking difficulties, so Joseph picked them up from their hotel. This meant he was late at the meeting place and we, being by ourselves there, were concerned. So I phoned their office, and Brandy explained this to me, then came and sat with us until he arrived, so we knew he was coming! Highly recommended.

Sharon was a wonderful, informative guide. We learned the history of all the missions and much more. Thank you Sharon for an enjoyable day.

This was a fantastic tour. Matthew was very informative and entertaining and knew lots of local history. His knowledge and sharing of stories was something we wouldn't have received if we just did the self tour on our own. The distance between the missions is far enough apart that we were really glad we did a a tour so we could efficiently cover all of the missions without any wasted time. Would highly recommend this trip for anyone who has limited time and wants to pack it full of interesting history related to the local area and history of the missions.

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about early Texas history, and passionate about helping us understand it. The tour was the highlight of our time in San Antonio

Great opportunity to have a knowledgeable guide show us the high points of a complex National Park and UNESCO World Heritage Site in a half day. Guide was sensitive and able to accommodate the needs of group members.

Jay_P

Matthew was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and he kept us on schedule to see park videos and to visit park shops. Spent mucho time answering all our questions.

Amy_K

Sharon was a fun tour guide with lots of knowledge. We ended up having a private tour for just the 4 of us which meant we could determine how much time we spent at each place. Sharon graciously dropped us off at the end so we didn't have to walk. A great day! Definitely recommend.
