A great way to get introduced to some great Mexican and Texas history that doesn't get covered enough in school.

Great experience with Juan Carlos. Very knowledgeable and friendly during the entire tour. He clearly knows the history of San Antonio.
Nicholas_S, Feb 2026
This was the best travel tour we have ever taken. The tour guide was very knowledgeable, had great connections within the community, and was so patient with us and our many questions. Do not pass this opportunity up.

We had a great 3 hour tour of the city that included drop off at all the missions we wanted to see, education and good conversations during the ride and super convenient pick up and drop off locations based on our needs. We were traveling with kids and a grandmother so seeing all of San Antonio without having to walk it was great. Would recommend this to anyone wanting to see more of San Antonio than just the Riverwalk!

Excellent tour! Our guide picked us up - there were 4 of us so we had a private tour as there are only 4 passenger seats in the electric tour mini- bus. Our guide shared the historical context and anecdotes to the sites we visited (the two Missions, Alamo, and the cathedral). He was knowledgeable about the city and showed us the major landmarks around town. Very helpful for the walking tours we took later. The electric car was comfortable and convenient for sightseeing. We received excellent dinner recommendations and our guide dropped us off exactly where we needed be to be.

It is very rare that you find a local tourist that himself is still learning his city and is advising you of what he learn. It felt amazing to listen to a person that didn't sound like a script. I appreciate the love in his work, the knowledge passed down and the options given to us. Will do this again.
