The tour to take when in San Antonio.

Mark_L, Apr 2024

Michael was a great tour guide. He was very knowledgeable, regarding the history of San Antonio. We learned many things, not only about the missions but also about the growth of San Antonio up to the present day. We have taken many private tours in the past. This was one of the best not only in terms of knowledge passed to us and conversations between Michael and us.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Mark! What a great time we had on this tour. Thanks for trusting ProTours with your San Antonio experience! Michael

Must do tour in San Antonio!

John_M, Mar 2024

Michael is an excellent tour guide. He knows his history and makes it all very easy to understand. He clearly loves his job and that comes through in the way he treats his clients. This tour is worth it at three times the price.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

John, thank you so much. What an incredible review. You were great guests and I am so glad to have shown you through this amazing city and its' history. Michael

Michael was fantastic and I cannot recommend him enough. He kept the whole experience fun and entertaining while being extremely educational. There was not a question he could not answer. Working with him was super easy as well, with great communication and he picked us up from our AirBnb and dropped as back there at the end.

Thanks Maryellen! You were a great guest as well, and it was a pleasure to serve you. Thanks again and best to you. Michael

Private Missions Tour of San Antonio by Viator

Thomas_P, Oct 2022

The guide was very knowledgeable about all four missions that we visited. The time at each mission was shorter than what I would like as I would like to explore more. However, the tour was on a Sunday, so services were being held at each. I liked the brief tour of San Antonia, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a high level.tour of San Antonio.

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Thanks for your review and best to you both! Michael

Amazing Way to Experience San Antonio!

Autumn_N, Nov 2021

Such an amazing way to experience San Antonio’s rich history and explore the city outside of the usual tourist traps. The tour of the surrounding missions and visit to the Pearl coupled with Michael’s deep knowledge and appreciation of San Antonio history and culture make this tour a San Antonio must do! Highly recommend!

Response from Host, Nov 2021

Thanks Autumn! It was great meeting you and thanks for entrusting ProTours with creating a memorable experience of San Antonio! Michael

The tour of missions to Pearl’s was excellent. I highly recommend taking this tour. Micheal was a outstanding tour guide! His knowledge of history was amazing and after visiting San Antonio several times, this tour really gave us more understanding of the history of San Antonio

Response from Host, Sep 2021

Floyd, that was sweet of you;) Get it, Candyman? haha! You and your wife were hilarious and real fun to spend time with as well. It is guests like you that remind me of why I do this work: connection with people, educate about interesting history, share some laughs. Good luck to you both! Michael
