Perfect Introduction to San Antonio - Alex was my tour guide today and he gave me a wonderful introduction to San Antonio. I learned so much that I didn’t know and went to locations that I would have never found on my own. It is a great itinerary to see so much that the city has to offer. Alex is so knowledgeable, friendly, and super passionate about his city and his love for it is quite contagious! If you want to learn how San Antonio came to be and how different cultures influenced its founding then this is the tour for you! This was the perfect way to start my vacation here in San Antonio.

Excellent full day historical tour - Domingo did an excellent job as our tour guide. It was a small group of six people in our van with only six people so he was able to address individual questions. He did a great job in painting the history of San Antonio as we drove through the various neighborhoods.

Waste of money - If you want to know the history of when every building, park and library was built, this is the tour for you. It did not include any of sites like Alamo, etc.
