This private Missions tour was so educational and enlightening as to the historical and cultural history of San Antonio and Texas. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour, and our guide Michael was phenomenal. We will definitely plan another trip soon.

Fabulous private tour in San Francisco

Marsha_M, Oct 2024

Michael was a great guide: informative, accommodating, professional. We learned so much about the San Antonio missions! Then we extended our tour to see more and Michael continued to wow us around SA neighborhoods, the Japanese Tea Garden, the Pearl... we even made a stop at the San Fernando Cathedral. All around, an excellent day.

Michael’s Mission Tour is Exceptional

BobandKim_C, Mar 2023

Our tour guide Michael was exceptional from his historical knowledge of the four San Antonio Missions we visited to his superb level of customer service. I would highly recommend Michael Robinson’s private Mission Tour. Check him out!

This tour company is the best. Our guide, Michael, was extremely knowledgeable and has a true passion for sharing accurate information. We learned so much and he was so much fun, we were sad when it ended. Thank you for such a fabulous day!

Awesome Missions tour with Michael

Teresa_R, Apr 2022

I toured the missions with a girlfriend. It started with a greeting from Michael when he picked us up at our resort. He personalized the tour by answering any questions we had. His ability to make us feel comfortable and giving us his background added to the event. He was a middle school teacher and also a comedian. The combination of these jobs made him the perfect person to give us great information as well as add some comedy to the tour. He was very knowledgeable about the missions and went above and beyond with his information. He asked if we had plans for the evening and when we told him we didn’t he told us about the Pearl district and the information behind the district. It sounded like a fun place so we went and enjoyed it tremendously. If you get a chance to take this tour make sure you get Michael as your tour guide. He is a guide as well as the owner. I’d give him a 5+ star rating!

Response from Host, Apr 2022

Teresa! Thanks for your kind words and it was wonderful to show y'all the missions. I am contacting Trip Advisor now to see if they can add a "+" section for reviews;) haha! Thanks again and best to you! Michael

Great Anniversary Treat

GUADALUPE_M, Aug 2021

Expect the best from this tour. From the time we were picked up from the hotel, until the drop off time; my husband and I felt like we were touring with close friends. The Missions are spectacular, not crowded, and we’ll taken care of. Our tour guide was a young former history teacher with a strong passion for San Antonio History and facts, he has a great sense of humor and patience. We should have taken the next level tour, maybe next time.
