Take this tour. - This tour was just long enough. It covered all the highlights. Victor, our guide was fantastic. He answered all our questions and was a wealth of information. My only complaint was the boat tour and walking tour covered a lot of the same places and information. I would highly recommend taking this tour. Our group learned a lot and it was an enjoyable experience.

Disappointed no reservation for boat ride - The Alamo visit and Tower of the Americas was good. Was disappointed that we didn't get to go on the boat ride. I would have thought that the tour company would have had reservations for us. They did not and the lines were so long that we didn't have time to stand in line and do the boat ride.

Tour company a no show - We waited for 45 minutes but no guide showed up. There didn't seem to be anyone else around looking for the tour? We called TripAdvisor and our money was refunded. An earlier different tour was canceled due to not enough people had signed up. Might have been same for this tour but we were not notified.
