Great historical information about the San Antonio missions. We went on the morning tour and the weather was perfect. Just the right length of time.

The tour bus never came to pick us up. We waited outside our hotel from 8.30 to 9.15 before contacting the tour company. They told us the tour had already started and didn't offer any explanation for why we were not picked up.
