We travel a lot and this is the first time using a tour company. Get Your Guide exceeded our expectations. The communication was great and our guide Zachary was knowledgeable and accommodating. We were picked up on time in a Mercedes Van with another couple. I highly recommend this company and tour and will definitely look to book again for future travels in other cities. The best part was because it was New Year's Eve they charted a Go Rio Cruise boat so we didn't need to wait in the long line. Thank you for making our vacation awesome!

Our guide was fantastic. We got up the tower quickly, had a nice your of the Pearl area, saw the light show at the cathedral which was awesome, did a quick tour of the Alamo area at night, and had a fun water tour of the riverwalk. Excellent time and service!

My teenage grandsons came for a visit and Hopscotch was the most fun thing we did! Thank you Billie Bernal

Alfred was very passionate about everything he showed us. Extremely polite as well.

This was a great value. We got to see all the important sites and learned a lot.
