Step back in time and experience the rich history of San Antonio’s Mission Trail on this expertly guided half-day tour. Begin your journey with a convenient pickup from your downtown hotel or meet your guide at our central pick up location if you are outside of the downtown area. From there, relax in a comfortable, air-conditioned van as we drive between the city’s most significant Spanish colonial sites—each a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Your adventure starts at Mission Espada, the southernmost and oldest mission, where you’ll explore its rustic charm and learn about its role in early Texas history. Then, it’s a short drive to Mission San Juan, known for its whitewashed chapel and peaceful surrounding landscape.
Next, visit the grand and fully restored Mission San José, often referred to as the "Queen of the Missions" for its impressive architecture and vibrant community history. The final stop on the trail is Mission Concepción, the best-preserved of the missions, where stunning original frescoes still decorate its interior.
