We toured San Jose and Concepcion on our own. A volunteer gave us an impromptu tour at San Jose. If possible, this is a great way to see the mission. Mission Concepcion is the only unrestored mission. We felt it was authentic.

The Mission trail in San Antonio,TX is a great history lesson and photo opportunity that is off the main tourist area. I love the price, it's free! Bicycles are available for rent and you can ride the biking- walking trail from one mission to another.
