Fantastic Tour - Matt was a wonderful and knowledgeable tour guide. He spent extra time filling in info that we couldn't get while the National parks were closed. Highly recommend for a great experience!

Great tour of several missions - This was a great tour. Only 3 couples on the tour in total. What made the tour so excellent was our tour guide Joseph. His knowledge of the missions history, and Texas history in general, was unsurpassed. He explained everything effortlessly and made everything very interesting.

Small group tour with Matt!!! Fantastic!!! - Small group tour with Matt as our tour guide was fantastic!! Matt is a plethora of knowledge not only about the Missions of San Antonio, but San Antonio itself!! He made the tour so enjoyable for the entire group, by including each of us in conversation & answering questions any of us may have had. His van was clean, cool & comfortable. He provided bottled water for us to quench our thirst. When our tour was over he even dropped us off at our next planned stop, as he said it was not out of his way!!

Great tour for out of town guests and locals! - I had attended a group tour to the Hill Country with friends who were visiting San Antonio and we enjoyed that tour with Matt so much that we followed up with the Missions Tour the next day. This time Matt and Sharon both guided us through the Acequia and the Missions. It was a wonderful tour, full of information and sights to see. Both Matt and Sharon shared with us, and even though I've been to the Missions many times before, I learned a lot and saw some sights that were new to me. Texian Tours really does a good job and it's evident that Matt and Sharon enjoy sharing with others. I learned a lot on this tour and enjoyed our delightful tour guides. My out of town guests were very content with the tour also. I highly recommend the Texian Tours for visitors and locals!

Our guide was Joseph and... - Our guide was Joseph and he did an exceptional job. He was very knowledgeable and very accommodating. The greeter at the pick up point was very welcoming and went above and beyond helping a late arrival. I would highly recommend this tour.

Loved the San Antonio missions. - Joseph was an excellent driver and guide. He was an intelligent, well read conversationalist. We are very glad that we took this tour rather than a DIY trip .
