Take this tour! - I love visitor's centers because I like to learn about the places I visit. Our tour guide was like a walking visitor's center. We were learning about the missions the entire tour. I definitely recommend this tour, especially if you're interested in history. I also recommend taking the guided tour that the Alamo offers.

Beautiful places on a windy day - Overall a very enjoyable trip! The missions were spectacular and Joseph was very knowledgeable about everything we saw. We had a nice, friendly group. The first church was locked up but lucky for us a deacon came and opened it up; the churches were easily the best part and so beautiful! The only issue we had was that the day had turned very cold and windy and we were trying to spend more time inside rather than out in the elements. Unfortunately that didn't work out. Still, a lovely trip overall.
