Overall, the tour was very informative. Joseph knows a lot about the history of the city. The only constructive feedback I would give is that at times he tended to go on longer than necessary on different points and veering off the true historical aspects of the tour.
Take this tour !!!

Matt did a great job! He had so many interesting things about the city to share that I hadn’t been aware of. It gave me a new appreciation for San Antonio!!! The tour was well worth it and thanks Matt for the cold water. We’ve very much enjoyed our stay in beautiful San Antonio!!!
