Our guide was Asked and he was amazing! He was interesting, engaging and funny. He answered all questions and was so helpful with me getting off the van. I so appreciated that. The tour is definitely recommended, plenty to see with lots of info. Lunch was delicious, and having small group tours is so much better, more one on one!

Had a wonderful tour with Domingo. Very informative and took us to some great little gems of art and culture in San Antonio. I would highly recommend the all day tour with Domingo.

Nanci_G

We really appreciate how knowledgeable Domingo is of history of San Antonio's beginning. We learned a lot from the stories about the history of San Antonio, things we probably would not have learned otherwise.

This is best to book at the start of your trip. You learn so much and see things you can go back and spend more time at later. Alex was a friendly, knowledgeable tour guide who was “pretty cool, huh” 😊 I enjoyed the peaceful Tea Garden and the Riverwalk area near the Pearl. It’s a long day, but a really good day.

Our guide Domingo was very knowledgeable and humorous along the way. Kept asking if we had anymore questions. A fantastic tour that showed us many important sites in San Antonio’s history.

The wonderful conversation with the tour guide, Domingo. He is very knowledgeable about the topic, and we learned a great deal from him about the history, culture, and people of San Antonio.

Very interesting morning. We learned a lot about the city and the history of the area. Driver was very knowledgeable. We did not look into the Tour very well and were not aware that we could have gone for only half a day. The afternoon was OK but would recommend to others to just do the half day tour.

Kenneth_Z

Great guide,terrific info. Will recommend to family and friends! Domingo was very knowledgeable about the history of this great city!

Tammy_A

I just loved all the information! Alex did a great job! I found it be very detailed and we covered all the way back to before Texas was a state, architecture, politics, religion and some great philanthropy history as well as all the work done for the worlds fair
