This is the most engaging, historically accurate and entertaining missions tour you will find in San Antonio. Guaranteed. You will learn what life was like at the missions, construction and architectural influences, and the relationship between the Franciscan Friars, soldiers and the Payaya, Coahuiltecan and other indigenous tribes. This is a nuanced and beautifully presented experience about colonialization, but also interdependence. At the end of this tour, you will be impressed with the largest concentration of Spanish missions in the US! Please consider purchasing our "Missions and More" tour, as it includes all four missions PLUS two more centuries of San Antonio history and diverse cultures. See reviews for that tour please. Locally owned/operated by professional guide and history teacher, stand-up comic (with Kevin Hart:), performer and world traveler Michael Robinson.

Absolutely worth the cost! Michael was able to accommodate a group of devout Catholics and their needs for quiet prayer in the churches and still provided tons of historically accurate information. He understood the needs of a mature group of people and could respectfully discuss the interactions between indigenous people and the Spanish settlers. The tour was tailored to getting us to Mass on time. He is charming, funny and absolutely in love with the history.

My friend and I were very excited to be able to book a, very last minute, private food tour. Michael created a unique experience for us, which included history, food, beverages, and excellent establishments that we wouldn't have otherwise experienced on our own. We thoroughly enjoyed our adventurous day and our wonderfully witty guide. Thanks again Michael!
