We purchased the 48-hour Hop-on / Hop-off Trolley Tour and Riverwalk Cruise tickets before our trip to San Antonio to see our son graduate from Basic Military Training. We may have been able to find the tickets cheaper if we had purchased them on site, but having the confirmation in hand when I left home gave me peace of mind. I couldn't believe how easy it was to find parking near the area where you pick up the tickets. Access to the Trolley and Cruise was quick and easy. Everything was clean and right on schedule. Our tour guides were fabulous!!! There are variations in personality and experience, of course, but we had funny, engaging guides for the cruise and the trolley. SHOUT OUT TO JP ON THE TROLLEY. He went out of his way to chat with us and give us recommendations for meals and directions to sites we may like. He deserves five stars! My only warning about this tour is the access to margaritas the size of your head :) But, you have someone to drive you, so maybe this is the time to go for it. Oh, and definitely stop at the Iron Cactus on the Riverwalk. It is admittedly a bit pricey, but OMG! Without a doubt, one of the top 3 meals I have had in a restaurant EVER!

Great way to get around and to get a feel for the city. We were here on a Monday and unfortunately a lot is closed but we still enjoyed the ride on the bus. Our boat driver was full of information! The Tower of the America's was a great view and the 4-D film was fun. Highly recommend the 3 activity combo!
Smooth moves

Great first day in town way to see some of the highlights and learn some of the history of San Antonio when visiting for just a few days. The bus driver/guide provided insightful info about the city - past, present and future. Towers of the America's admission was included with ticket package (get your camera ready for the elevator ride) as well as a ticket for the must-do boat tour on the iconic San Antonio River Walk.

The parks in the city and the base of the Tower were very scenic & welcoming. The Riverboat tour is a must do! Our guide, David, was entertaining and had a great sense of humor!
The bus tour was a little disappointing. It was difficult to hear the information because the bus was simply noisy and older. Although, both bus drivers were very courteous and patient.

We booked this tour on what was supposed to be our worst weather day (cold and rainy). It was really great to be able to hop on a off and explore on our own pace. I do wish the busses ran past 5:30, but we knew that going in. I HIGHLY recommend getting off at the Veterans Memorial Plaza and seeing the war memorials, St. Anthony Hotel, VFW Post (we didn't find out this was open to public until too late) and San Fernando Cathedral. We really appreciated that the boat tour and Tower of the America's were not time/day sensitive. Very easy way to get around town.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
