5.00We had a great day with Alex and saw so many different things on this tour! The stops were the right lengths and he communicated well with us beforehand and during the tour. He was enthusiastic and enjoyable to listen to. We followed his advice to take the River tour at night and were glad that we did because of the festive lights. We also appreciated advice he gave us regarding our dinner plans and traveling to a Spurs game. He went above and beyond to be a good tour guide and ambassador for San Antonio!
