The Grayline Guide--Driver, Allen imparted a plethora of knowledge of historical San Antonio. His demeanor was exemplary throughout the 3.5 hr experience. it was apparent that he loved his city and took great v pleasure in sharing it's rich heritage.

Alex is awesome!

Great tour of downtown

Published on Sep, 2024

Our guy did a great job of explaining the history of San Antonio in the downtown area. He picked us up right at our hotel and made it easy. We met some other great people on the trip From the US and the UK.

Great way to get an overview of the area.

Domingo was a great communicator, gave us lots of history and extra stories also as it related to him being a local. He was patient and cognizant of our comfort regarding the heat. We really enjoyed our tour!

Loved it!

Published on Sep, 2024

Domingo was great tons of knowledge of everything that was on the tour kept us engaged the entire time gave us extra time to take pictures and look around at the stops. I would highly recommend this kind of tour if you are not a fan of the Texas heat in the summer months.
