Best tour ever - My guide, Michael Quiroz, gave me an incredible tour. He is super knowledgeable about the history of San Antonio and a historian who is passionate about sharing his knowledge. I will recommend him to my friends. The boat tour was also done well.

Fantastic and Highly Recommended Tour! - This trip was our first to San Antonio, TX. Upon meeting our tour guide, Jason, we knew we made the right decision in choosing Trishepherd San Antonio Tours. Jason was prompt, professional, funny, knowledgeable, and an excellent driver. Jason's in-depth knowledge and understanding of the area's history, people, and culture made the tour memorable. He provided us with recommended places, events, and restaurants and offered to drop us off at a local location of our choice after the tour. We highly recommend Jason and his tour company, Trishepherd San Antonio Tours.

Great tour of San Antonio for a family of 7! - Jason gave us clear directions on how to meet him (we were staying outside of the downtown area). The van was comfortable and cold drinks were provided, which was lovely given the high temps. Jason first took us to the San Jose Mission and he gave us some history as we drove through an older neighborhood along the way. He had some good information about the mission and we were able to get a quick look at the sanctuary following a Sunday mass. The history and information was very interesting and we enjoyed the experience. Next we took a trip up to the viewing deck of the Tower of the Americas. Beautiful view! We then ventured to the River Walk in downtown San Antonio and Jason got us right onto a river boat tour where we received more great info about the history of the town. Last, we ended up at the Alamo, which was amazing and steeped in history! Jason was knowledgeable, friendly, and gave us a great tour!

Alamo, Tower an Boat tour. - David was fantastic. Each place we went to, he gave us a lot of history and background. The visit to Hotel Emma was not on the original list, but was an extra special experience. Overall, a great trip.

Small group, tour guide picked us up on time. It was really hot so the tour seemed long to us. - It was nice to have a small group. We visited the tower, the Alamo Church, Pearl and the Riverwalk boat cruise. The Alamo was the thing I most wanted to see but it was a self guided tour so I was disappointed as it was hard to navigate. It would have been better with a live narrator.
