Great tour of the Mssions - Joseph was extremely knowledgeable about the missions and their context in history. He responded with thorough answers to our many questions and gave us the personal attention and space to do our thing as we needed.

Wonderful experience - Our guide Joseph was so attentive and nice. He explained all of the history and allowed us some private time to pray in each church. It was a full four hours even though we were the only ones on the tour. He did not rush us in any way. We so enjoyed our trip and would do it again!

An outstanding tour of the San Antonio Missions - Joseph was an outstanding guide on this tour - very knowledgeable about the missions and also about the surrounding world circumstances of the time. This was a tour on my "bucket list" and it lived up to its expectations.

Great tour for Texas History seekers. - Our guide. Joseph, was very knowledgeable and was great at imparting a wealth of information to our group. You can tell he has studied a lot about the history of Texas and the Spanish missions near San Antonio. The tour takes a bit longer than is advertised. There was never a big crowd, so we got to take our time and get really close to all the interesting elements of the missions.

Exceptional Tour - Our tour guide Joseph was fabulous! The small group gave us ample opportunity to interact with him. His amazing knowledge of the Missions’ histories went on non-stop for 5 hours. His thespian training & booming voice made for a very entertaining tour. The tour company was easy to reach & replied immediately to answer questions. Could not have asked for a better experience.
