Fun day! - It was just my husband and I. We had a great time! Mike was very helpful and knowledgeable about the area and history. It was interesting getting to see another area besides San Antonio and learn about President Johnson’s life. Well worth it! Thank you!

Wasn't what I thought - Not enough hill country, it was more about LBJ. All the wineries and we went to one the tiniest one.

Can’t always assume a tour is really booked - I wish I could have left 0 stars. First, I’m not sure who is at fault here but my guess is Viator. Booked weeks ago, blocked out the whole day of our trip to San Antonio for this highly rated tour, was charged the day before as expected, received text with link to tickets, as expected, and on the day of the tour reached out to Viator after the pick up was a no show. Viator said tour cancelled by vendor at the last minute (if that were true, why didn’t Viator notify me?). I contacted vendor directly and was told tour was never scheduled to begin with and shouldn’t have been allowed to be booked. Now, I have a one day hole in my vacation. Beyond frustrating and disappointed to put it mildly.
