SA Missions
viscountesslily, Apr 2025
Visit the SA missions. I visited San Jose and Concepcion plus San Fernando Cathedral. You can take the bus to San Jose and Concepcion - both 1 ride from downtown. Both were great and full of history.
Very educational

The pick up at hotel was convenient and our tour guide, Alex, was very friendly. The tour was very thorough. We had enough time at each stop.
No pick up and no contact
Y2467FQcraigh, Apr 2025
We were supposed to be picked up and 1:30 in front of our hotel. At 2:00 we called Trip Advisor. They got in touch with Vivatar and they tried saying we were supposed to be picked up at 12:30 and they tried contacting us but Trip Advisor could see our scheduled pick up for 1:30 and that they never tried contacting us. They did get them to refund our money but we waisted half of a day of a short vacation.
