Joseph was awesome! He had us confidently and expertly navigating the Segways within minutes. As a native of San Antonio and scholar of the history, he really communicated interesting and relevant info, including great tips on things to do and where to eat. We had the best time, and it helped us plan the rest of our tune in this beautiful city. Thank you, Joseph!
