Nancy was our tour guide as she was extremely knowledgeable about the history of San Antonio. We started off by going to a mission and walked around grounds. Church was beautiful. We next went to tour of Americas which you ride an elevator up and walk around taking in views for fifteen minutes. We then went to Alamo on self guided tour. Nancy filled us in on the history of Alamo after walking through it. Ended with river cruise. I thought it was worth money for this excursion. Judge

This tour was awesome. Nancy, our tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and caring. She had water and snacks for us and genuinely card about how we were doing. She was the best! We especially liked the tour of La Mision of San Jose. The cruise along the river walk was excellent as well; very relaxing.
