Præsentationer i verdensklasse, der er sofistikerede, historisk nøjagtige og underholdende. De mest engagerende missioner tur du vil finde i San Antonio. Garanteret.

Rejseplan
Den sydligste mission af de fem i San Antonio, denne placering er starten på din tur og vil lægge den grundlæggende kontekst for resten af turen. Du vil gå ind i det indre af denne mission, høre interessant information om dens indbyggere og Friars, samt konstruktionen og layoutet af missionen. Du vil også have mulighed for at gå ind i kirken, der ser ud som den gjorde i 1700-tallet.
Kun fem minutter fra det første stop ved Mission Espada har denne mission en fuldstændig renoveret kirke, der ikke kun er charmerende, men også imponerende i sin rekonstruktion og højdepunktet i dette stop. Hør om indbyggerne på dette sted, konstruktionen af denne mission, og hvordan livet var for dem. Du vil besøge et lille museum, der har vidunderlige udstillinger af materialer brugt af indbyggerne, brugen af vand til landbruget, blandt interessant anden information.
"Missionernes Dronning" er den største og mest renoverede mission i San Antonio, det fineste eksempel på barokarkitektur i Texas. Her vil du lære om dens funktion som mission, såvel som den imponerende revitalisering af WPA i 1930'erne. Du vil opleve boligkvarteret for alle grupper, der boede og arbejdede på missionen, få en eksklusiv indvendig guidet tur i Kirken og lære så meget mere! Mere end 2000 af arkitektoniske, religiøse og kulturelle påvirkninger og en ærefrygt for det oprindelige arbejde, der gjorde Mission San Jose til "dronningen".
Mission Concepcion er uden tvivl den mest charmerende af alle missionerne. Hør om dens indbyggere, hvad livet var på dette sted, og lær om oprettelsen af dens 'duel klokketårnskirke, den ældste stenkirke i USA! Du vil se en 250 år gammel fresco, en fascinerende okulær udstilling og det indre af kirken, hvor du vil blive ydmyg over dens skønhed. Du vil se nogle andre arkitektoniske højdepunkter her, men de er en hemmelighed, og jeg kan ikke vente med at fortælle dig alt om dem!
Kør forbi og lær om den ældste spanske akvedukt i USA. Lær om dens konstruktion, hvor teknologierne til at bygge strukturen kommer fra, dens funktion og placering og forbindelse til acequia-systemet til at irrigere labores (landbrug).

Great tour, host was engaging!
Thanks! The Host (Michael)
If you’re even thinking about booking a tour in San Antonio, stop scrolling and book with San Antonio Pro Tours. Seriously. Michael gave us the best tour of our entire trip—by far. From the moment we got in the car, everything felt polished and professional. His vehicle was spotless, and the audio setup he used made it incredibly easy to hear him clearly the entire time (which, after other tours, was a huge upgrade). But what really set this experience apart was Michael himself. He didn’t just recite history—he brought it to life. His knowledge is insanely detailed, and his recall of facts and stories was genuinely impressive. On top of that, he took the time to get to know the three of us and actually tailored parts of the tour to things that resonated with each of us. That level of personalization is rare. And somehow, he balanced all of that with a great sense of humor that kept the whole experience engaging and fun from start to finish. This wasn’t just a tour—it felt like a custom experience led by someone who truly cares about what he does. Hands down the best history tour we’ve ever had.
Jen, thank you so much for your detailed and kind review. Really enjoyed our time together and your family sense of humor made the tour all the better! All the best to you in this new chapter of your life and they are paths cross again. Michael
Our travel group had the pleasure of having Michael give us a tour of the missions in San Antonio along with explaining the architecture in San Antonio. Michael was amazing as he gave so much history of the area. We learned so much and really enjoyed his guidance along with his sense of humor. He truly made it a memorable experience. I highly recommend ProTours.
Peggy! Very sweet of you to do this review and it was truly a pleasure to serve your group. I hope our paths cross again somehow someway and I’m wishing you all the best! Michael
Michael gave a very impressive tour. It was foundational to understanding the the history and the growth of San Antonio. He gave us an understanding of its multicultural influences and how the mission systems worked. Michael had deep knowledge in other relevant areas such the influences of Spanish culture, Spanish engineering, art that joined with the indigenous knowledge of food and botany and culture to form the San Antonio we see today. This is a tour everyone would enjoy!
Valerie, I really appreciate your kind words here. And I’m glad you enjoyed the tour. All the best to you. Michael
Great tour. Wonderful way to learn history of the area. Michael was knowledgeable and funny. My mother and I had a great time.
Pleasure taking you both through this interesting city. Hope to see you again sometime. Michael

My honor, Lisa. Thank you! Michael
This private Missions tour was so educational and enlightening as to the historical and cultural history of San Antonio and Texas. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour, and our guide Michael was phenomenal. We will definitely plan another trip soon.
Thank you so much Lisa. I look forward to serving you both again sometime. Hill Country excursion? Food tour or more. All the best to you and your family. Michael
Michael was an excellent tour guide! Engaging, knowledgeable, fun. Great way to see SA highlights & history! He kept my two teenagers interested and was sure to point out historical and current points of interest. Great way to learn about SA and get acclimated with the area. Highly recommend!
Thanks so much for this review! It was refreshing that your boys were present the entire time and enjoyed the tour as well. All the best to you all! Michael
We loved our tour with Michael. We were a group of 6 friends on a getaway weekend in San Antonio. Whether you enjoy history or not, this was a fun outing with a little of everything for everyone. Michael is fun and witty. His knowledge of the area was impressive and he included a variety of experiences for us. I would definitely do this again!
Thanks Mona! Your group was so fun and I wish you all the best! Michael
Michael's deep knowledge of San Antonio's history and culture was amazing. His descriptions breathed life into the sites we visited.
An honor to serve you both. Well-travelled, curious...wonderful guests. Thanks for the kind words, James! Michael
