Loretta was excellent. She gave us key information about each mission. She was also very patient. She had to search for a couple that did not return on time.

The online purchase was very quick and easy. The calendar works great to show available dates and times. The tickets clearly state to have a copy with you for the driver. I also called and asked about the hotel pick up option and recieved great customer service.

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and personable. We learned a lot about the missions and history of the area. Wish we could have spent a little more time at each one of the missions.
