We enjoyed the tour little did we know about the Alamo, however Nancy was a great tour guide and extremely knowledgeable of the Alamo along with the barracks and churches. We were very happy with our tour and tour guide. We want to say thank you for such a great experience that we will never forget.

Nancy was wonderful! So...
Nancy was wonderful! So much knowledge about the Alamo. Our tour group had so much fun! Highly recommend this tour.
It was a waste of my money.
Terrible experience. Driver did not narrate anything or complete the trip. We didn’t even go through the town. It was the last boat of the night. We saw nothing but the lock. Very disappointing.

Nancy, my tour guide, very knowledgeable and friendly. She talked about things you may not see or hear about in the exhibitions.
