Amazing tour with a wonderful, professional, personable, and knowledgeable guide! Yes, many of the sites viewed are free (i.e. tea gardens, market square, and Alamo) but others like the Buckhoorn Saloon museum, the boat ride, and the mission visits do cost money, so the trip is worth it. I liked the air conditioned bus--it was nice in the 95 degree heat. Also, the guide answered all questions. It was awesome and I took great pics of everything! Lunch was on your own, but you were by the Alamo and local mall, so plenty of options. A great day, and the tour was totally worth every penny. I went on my own, and it was safe and enjoyable. If you visit San Antonio, this is a MUST-DO! You will not be sorry. I loved every moment of it. My fave was going to Market Square...lots of shops and cheap eats! Once I learned where stuff was...I went back later on my own to spend more time there! This is great for the beginning of a trip so you can suss out the best things to do!
I went on this tour with my parents. They had lived in San Antonio 44 years ago and things have changed a bit since then. It was nice to have someone drive who knew the city and we didn't have to find our way around. The driver was personable and knowledgeable. We had a good time.l
Great.
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.
The trip was well planned and your guides were well informed and very cordial to the customers.
We love, love the tour. We will definitely use your company again and also recommend it to our families and friends.
Great tour , covers alot of history , lots of variety and the river tour was awesome.
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.
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!
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 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!
Our tour guide was great, thanks.
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.
Fair at Best.
Did not see governor house and alternative to boat tour was quite boring. You can do all this on your own except the 2 missions. A hop on and hop off would be much better than this long tour - with too long stops at nointersting places and short stops for the most interesting. No Alamo Tour it is done on your own.
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.
