Our first Greyline tour. I have to say Domingo could not have been better. He was friendly, entertaining and provided a well planned and informative experience. Having been a history teacher specializing in Texas history, he was able to answer many of our questions pertaining to Spain, Mexico and Texas. ????

We had a great experience with AAA Limo on a Friday night round-trip to the Stars game for a party of 8. The part I liked the most was transparency around the price - there was a single price quoted and that's what we paid. No fuel or toll surcharges or other fees that tend for limo costs to creep up. Our driver was Jack and he was awesome and super friendly. The car was in excellent shape, played our music well and it was fun to arrive and depart at the hockey game in style.
