Three of us did the morning trip of downtown San Antonio, and it was very enjoyable. Alex is a great guide, made it easy for us and was very informative, friendly and entertaining. We finished with a nice lunch and a little shopping. Highly recommend!

We had our own tour guide for the 3 of us because it was a weekday and he was terrific. The lunch was my least favorite part of the tour because it’s a large touristy noisy restaurant.
