Must do! - What a great time! Nancy is so fun and so knowledgable! She told us great stories and gave us so much factual information! She is a walking history book, with a personality! We highly recommend this tour to anyone with a passion for history and a yearning to learn! We will book it again if we find ourselves in the beautiful San Antonio!

Phenomenal Experience - Our Tour Guide, Nancy, was phenomenal! She tailored the experience for us (at least it seemed that way). Bringing attention to San Antonio history that was relevant to us. She was able to answer ALL of our questions. She was kind and attentive. She didn’t mind taking pictures for us. She was detail oriented down to the water and restrooms. I absolutely recommend this tour and Nancy as your tour guide!

This is a really good one! - Nancy was the most pleasant and amazing tour guide. She knows a great deal of San Antonio history and provided a lot of "extra" information about the city. The tour was exactly what I was hoping for since I will be transferring to San Antonio next month (military). I will definitely recommend this tour to my family members when they visit. Again... Nancy is the best!!!!

Visit to San Antonio, the Mission, Alamo, Tower of Americas, and River Boat ride. - From start to finish, our tour was absolutely exceptional - and that’s largely thanks to our amazing guide, Austin. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and genuine passion for the area brought every stop to life. In a way that was both educational and incredibly engaging

Surpassing initial hopes - I found this tour googling tours for main attractions in San Antonio. I booked it through TripAdvisor and was blown away by TriSheperd’s tour guide Nancy! She kept everyone ages 6-53 yo engaged, entertained, and hydrated. We travelled from place to place in a roomy, cool, clean van and she planned out our destinations for the day to incorporate a quickly changing climate (humid, rainy, hot) so we were not miserable at any point! She went the extra step in giving us personal details about her own life and incorporating ours into the places we visited on the tour! She made excellent recommendations to complete our day and we all left fulfilled! Thank you Nancy - you definitely exceeded all expectations I had when booking this tour! I highly recommend Nancy with TriSheperd to any visiting San Antonio, TX!

Super Convenient!! - Nancy was a great tour guide! She had everything organized in an order to avoid lines, was punctual in picking us up at our hotel, and provided a great amount of information at each stop. It was definitely worth it to book as a tour to avoid driving and parking at each location, especially with all the current road construction. She even provided water, snacks, and further recommendations for our stay.

Rather complete walk tour with visits alone - Driver guide very friendly, the tower is not very interesting to do, Alamo and the river boat are the highlights. We had already booked the 3 Unesco missions for the next day so no use to do them in this tour , not understood if they were included with guided tour or just pass in front, depending on the price is a little too high for this tour but compensation we were alone private tour so the driver guide to complete our tour with little extras , so it was okay in the end
