This was our first time in San Antonio. Doing the full day tour gave us a good overview of the city. Alex was our excellent guide. We especially liked his commentary on the history of the city and information about the river. Highly recommended..
Great tour guide, fluent in English and Spanish, knowledgeable about nearly every building downtown, but also had comprehensive knowledge of older sights beyond the main city such as the Spanish missions
Great history of San Antonio and the area.. Do this your first day there. Then you can go and revisit.

This trip turned out to be a private trip as we were the only one. Alex was our driver/ guide. He was the best. Very pleasant and so knowledgeable. We learned so much about San Antonio.
Domingo was personable, courteous and very informative. The tour was very thorough allowing plenty of time to visit sites. Domingo made sure to tell us the must-see at each stop as well as historical information. A great tour for the price!
