Private UNESCO Missions Tour in San Antonio
Overview
World-class presentations that are sophisticated, historically accurate and entertaining. The most engaging missions tour you will find in San Antonio. Guaranteed.
You will learn what life was like at the missions, construction, architectural influences, and the nuanced relationships between the Franciscan Friars, Presidial soldiers and the Coahuiltecan tribes. Respectfully and beautifully presented, this experience deep dives in interdependence of colonizers and those being colonized.
