San Antonio: Alamo, Downtown & Mission San José Van Tour Discount Tickets

Overview

Explore San Antonio’s mission story and historic downtown in one connected small-group experience. Travel in a clean, air-conditioned Mercedes-Benz Metris with no more than six guests, with pickup and return from downtown hotels within 2.5 miles of Alamo Plaza. Victor combines personal storytelling with reserved Alamo Church entry, an included narrated GO RIO River Walk cruise, a guided visit to Mission San José, and Tower of the Americas admission. Along the way, discover La Villita, Main Plaza, San Fernando Cathedral, the Spanish Governor’s Palace, and the Bexar County Courthouse. The relaxed pace leaves time for photographs, questions, conversation, and mobility needs. Victor connects the missions, river, limestone, acequias, founding families, preservation stories, and local legends into one complete story. Pass Victor’s unofficial quiz to be adopted into the Five-Star family. A few surprises may appear along the way to help create special memories.
