It’s not strictly a bus tour. There is opportunity to get out and walk a bit. It’s a van tour not a giant bus
You'll do some walking but not too much. Bring your water because San Antonio is hot! Other travelers were friendly. We stopped for lunch and shopping.
Horrible your company cancelled our trip without telling us why. We booked several weeks in advance.
Great tour with an extremely knowledgeable guide. Super professional and personable. Re commend for all
Domingo was very knowledgeable, patient and courteous. We learned a lot of history about the city during this tour. He gracefully spoke Spanish during the whole tour, accommodating as needed. Thank you
The guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating. It was short enough that it did not seem overwhelming
