Fantastic Tour! - This is a fantastic tour! Matt was super knowledgeable about San Antonio and Texas history. He was great about answering any of our questions. The pace of the tour was leisurely, with plenty of time to stop and take pictures. Our tour lasted about 3 hours. I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone who is a first time visitor to San Antonio. And if you have visited before, you’ll learn something new about the city!

The best past of our San Antonio trip! - I was underwhelmed by San Antonio until we took this tour. The guide was steeped in local and Texas history. He was able to answer questions about anything. Flexible when we decided we wanted to spend more time in one area and not go to another. Would come back and take this tour again! Worth well more than the price charged.
