Don’t just visit the Alamo and Riverwalk when visiting San Antonio. Be sure to see the other four Missions (forts) as well. The churches are still standing at all of them and they are much more decorated and beautiful than the church you will see at the Alamo. Perry was amazing and knew his history. I like the religious and architecture element to his tours. The first two churches are massive. Check this out. Thanks for a wonderful small-group tour!

The tour was incredible. So great to visit and get so much of the history. We even saw a wedding and the beautiful couple at Mission Concepcion. Not all missions were accessible because it was later in the day so consider an early tour to have a better chance of getting inside all the missions.

A guided tour is always a nice way to tour historical sites, unknown territory. Your guide does the driving and talking while you enjoy the history.
Our guide was Alex. He was kind, professional and enlightened us with historical facts as well as humor. We recommend him if in San Antonio.
We also recommend visiting the Missions. They’re beautiful and rich in history.

Experience was wonderful, Small tour so east to see things, our tour guide Perry was very informative. Worked very hard to get us into the churches on Sunday morning. Knew the missions and the people. Was a great morning. Would have been disappointed if we couldn’t get into the churches, as it was we couldn’t get on to one of the missions because it was a Sunday morning. They should make you aware of that.

We had a great time on the San Antonio Missions Tour. Perry did a great job explaining the culture and significance of the missions over the span of almost 300 years. The missions are tightly intertwined into the politics and culture of San Antonio and help put into perspective the current culture. I would highly recommend this tour!

I have been to San Antonio many times over the years and have never seen the missions. I was very enriched by this experience. We don’t know the town and didn’t have a car this time, and our guide was wonderful.
If you are on a budget, seeing the missions by bicycle seemed a good option. Plus! As of this writing, they’re free to get in.

We took a tour with Domingo who was a highly knowledgeable guide. He took us to four missions and provided additional information about the local interconnected history and sites. We really appreciated him bringing ample cold water for us and he altered the schedule slightly to insure we would get to see a particular site that sometimes closes early. He was very funny and engaging., a real pleasure to spend the afternoon with. We would highly recommend this tour as a must for visitors to San Antonio.
