The San Antonio all day... - The San Antonio all day city tour was awesome! Great way to orient yourself to a new city and to familiarize yourself with history, culture, contrasting the old and new, learning fun facts to know and tell. Loved that I was picked up at my downtown hotel! Your guide Alex was great! He offered so much information during the tour as well as other tips for extended stays in the city! Great day, great value… well worth the tour cost!

Well worth every penny-great excursion! - The trip covered a large amount of historic areas, and included the Market Square where we dined for lunch (our own expense and gratuity), the Japanese Gardens (beautiful and peaceful), and we had enough time that our driver took us to one of the historic missions. Our driver was very informative, helpful, polite, and made our trip positive. I wish we could have taken this excursion a day earlier so we would have been better informed about the City, sites and how to best access them. Our driver picked us up on time, at our hotel. We were very pleased we went.

Great overview of San Antonio - Domingo, our guide, was very well versed in the history of San Antonio. We didn't just ride around looking at buildings and scenery but got out several times to explore districts and markets within the city. Opportunity to take photos.

Very informative - Domingo was an awesome guide with a wealth of information. The tour was mostly passing by historic places. The few places we stopped were interesting but the Hotel Emma stop was too long and more time at the Japanese Garden would have been better especially with the hot weather. Tour is best for adults and older teens.
