Great program. Rachel was a fantastic leader, and the other participants were good traveling partners. I gained a new insight into Texas history. My group was a mix of couples and solo travelers which worked out great.

This is a wonderful Road Scholar program that not only shows you the highlights of Austin and San Antonio, but the diversities of ethnicities that exists within both cities. The educational content was mixed with fun activities due to our great group leader Rachel.
