Mission conception was amazing with a window on top that lights up the blessed mother every year on Aug 15 which is her birthday. Pearl was interesting original beer distillery and the market was colorful with locals. Would never have seen this without Fernando. He knew the history of Texas and explained it well

This was a small group of about 10 people, which was perfect. Alex was our tour guide and he was incredible. He grew up in San Antonio and was very passionate and knowledgeable about his hometown. He had plenty of personal stories to share, which added to the overall experience. I highly recommend this tour and you’re very lucky if you get to spend the day with Alex.

Comprehensive Tour by Knowledgeable Guide
Charles_B, Dec 2022
This tour took us to many different neighborhoods within San Antonio. Our guide, Alex, brought the city to life through a combination of historic background sketches and commentary about the current scene. As an added bonus, although the tour was in English, he spoke Spanish, and was able to add to my wife's understanding. His love and enthusiasm for all thing San Antonio was obvious. I could not think of a more beneficial or enjoyable manner in which to pass a day in San Antonio.
Excellent tour!
Clay_S, Dec 2022
