The tour guide/driver was excellent, very informative, very nice and interesting. The admin staff at the office were horrible. I had booked via Viator and was told to email or call a number to confirm. I emailed and NEVER received a response. I called and talked to someone to confirm the date and my name.
About 15 minutes after I was supposed to be picked up, I called the office and received the first of many lies. I was told there was traffic and they should be there within 10 minutes. When I called again, the 2nd lie I received was they went to the wrong hotel. Another 10 minutes passed after I called another time and was put on hold multiple times. The bus driver picked me up and told me he had just been told I was waiting. I wasn't on his list to be picked up, and he just found out. When I told him the excuses I was given, he agreed that they were just excuses.
Anyway the tour was good. We had our own time at the Alamo. Then we were driven around San Antonio and out to two missions. The excellent tour guide gave us a history about both missions.

Very informative bus driver - learned a lot from him. Unfortunately very few flowers in bloom at the Japanese Tea Garden probably due to the time of year.

Our guide did an exceptional job leading the tour, a true Texan! More importantly my children found it fun and educational. I definitely recommend it.

Because the Japanese Tea Garden is under renovation, they substituted the San Fernando Cathedral, which we had wanted to see more than the Tea Garden. The only thing we would have changed was that we wanted more time at the the San Juan mission and Mission Concepcion - we were rushed going through. Otherwise the tour was great!

We really enjoyed the day. I wish we had had the benefit of the tour guide inside the missions and the church, but respect the guide's preference not to add to noise in sanctuary. The bus ride was informative, as was boat ride. There was not enough time at the market. All in all, this was a good day!

Everything was closed that we drove by and the things that were open, the tour guide just dropped us off and said "Ok, I'll meet you back here in four hours."

We really enjoyed our trip to San Antonio. It was our 1st anniversary and San Antonio was perfect for us. We did the Grand Tour of San Antonio. We were disappointed at first when we found out that the Japanese Tea Gardens were closed. But our guide made up for it. Very informative and personable. We visited the Alamo and two missions, took a boat ride at the Riverwalk, and went to a Mexican shopping area that was having a fiesta. Wish we could have spent more time there. The Riverwalk was great at night. We'll definitely come back. Thanks for a great tour!

If you're staying downtown most of the sites are within walking distance. The Japanese Garden was closed and under repair. Not worth the money.

The person leading the tour was very knowledgeable, had good humor and was a pleasure to listen to. The bus was fine and it was a great tour, except for one stop at the Sunken Japanese Gardens. History was provided, driving very good. Adequate comfort stops.

We love, love the tour. We will definitely use your company again and also recommend it to our families and friends.

Most places were free admissions, which I could have done myself. Tea gardens were not completed, was not worth seeing in that stage. People on bus smoked, wish I would have booked a non-smoking tour. The best part was the river walk boat ride.
