What To Expect
"Discover the Mission Reach, where contemporary public art along the revitalized San Antonio River tells the cultural stories you'll experience at the UNESCO missions. Learn how the stunning murals and tilework celebrate 300 years of indigenous, Spanish, and Mexican heritage - setting the stage for the authentic colonial stories and cultural legends awaiting at each World Heritage mission site."
Spanish Governor's Palace
We pass the Spanish Governor's Palace, where 1749 colonial authority shaped the city’s earliest identity. This adobe residence once housed the governors who oversaw both the missions and daily civilian life. Here, we uncover the lesser-known diplomatic roles of these officials—how they navigated power, negotiated with Native leaders, and laid the groundwork for the cultural fusion you’ll see at every mission site.

5.00We highly recommend this tour to anyone who visits San Antonio as well as those who live there. You will not be disappointed. I've visited S.A. several times but had never experienced the beauty and history of this diverse and beautiful city until I saw it through Victor's eyes. Our guide Victor gives a 10 STAR tour. He provides his knowledge, water, snacks and first-class hospitality. You can tell he enjoys his work as he pours a bit of himself into the tour. We tremendously enjoyed our adventure and suggested it to everyone we encountered. May God bless you with protection, favor and good health Victor. 🙏 We'll see you when we come back. The Chicago visitors.
This tour is well worth your time

5.00Victor was amazing! He modified our tour since it was just the 4 of us and took us to see all 5 missions. There were snacks and water provided to us. His personality and knowledge made the tour a great experience. Victoria was very patient with the elderly couple in our party.
Great tour
