Awesome trip. Needs to be an hour longer for shopping and eating.
Ok, We were just left in Fredericksburg Tx, on are own . No tour. 3 hours no help. Best thing May have been the Military museum.
I enjoyed the shops and restaurants. M husband enjoyed the pacific museum!
Great history about Texas Hill Country, with many shops and dining options, and plenty of time provided in Fredericksburg. Very short, but well worth the stop in Luckenbach! Surprised to see a National Museum of the Pacific in Texas!
Nice drive through Hill country. Fredericksburg is an interesting city with unique stores.
It was such a fun trip I highly recommend doing it. Our tour guide Matt was awesome he had so much knowledge on the area of Texas from our starting point to the end . I would have liked to have 4 hours in town!
Top notch tour director of the Hill Country. Wonderful sense of humor. Very comfortable and clean vehicle. Matt was very knowledgeable of the area, offered human interest stories and had a spot on tour of the wineries we visited. He was accommodating and helpful to the entire group we toured with. I would highly recommend this tour of the hill country and Fredericksburg.
We love our tour guide, Sharon, she was very knowledgeable about the history of the town. We had a great time.
I book dozens of Viator trips each year. This trip was exactly how it was described, but I felt it was way overpriced. We had about 3 1/2 hours on our own. We could’ve drove our rental car there for a fraction of the cost and did the same thing. In my opinion, the fee to enter the museum should’ve been included.
We genuinely thank you for your feedback, and I will fully agree, that for someone that rents a car, or even lives in the area, yes, you can definitely drive yourself to Fredericksburg for a fraction of the cost. Our tour was primarily designed for visitors that don’t want to rent a car or deal with daily parking costs of the downtown area, that also seek a guided experience through the region. Given that we provide guided transportation to Fredericksburg that is 70mi away from San Antonio, we specialize in smaller groups of 10 or less, a dedicated guide is on hand to provide insight & commentary on the region along the way, and an uber/lyft ride is $80-$125 one way (and there’s less of a guarantee to get back to San Antonio through Lyft/uber from the hill country), we feel that our tour is adequately priced. All are welcome to experience our tour, but we designed the tour to be of ease for non-driving visitors in mind, which is also why we have our pick up location situated within the downtown area within walking distance of all major downtown/riverwalk hotels. We field many calls from potential guests that do inquire about this very issue, and I always explain that if they already have a car, then yes, it will be much more cost effective to drive on their own, and that the deciding factor would be whether having an onsite dedicated tour guide is of value to them or not. For some, that’s exactly what they’re looking for, for others, they’re fine on their own. We are very transparent about that. As for your time in Fredericksburg, there’s the Nimitz Museum, and the Pioneer museum. These are just some of the many things to explore while visiting the town, but it’s not always of great interest or a priority for some. We leave these options up to our guests to decide on their own. Many times, these museums are under renovations and closed for periods of time. The Nimitz, for example, just reopened a major section of the museum on Dec. 6th. I think if we included tickets to a place that was mostly closed, that would be seen as a waste in value as well. I again, thank you for your feedback.
Brandy was amazing! She was a great tour guide as was very knowledgeable of the area! She was prompt and easy going!
