    Wonderful adventure

    Dollie_D, Nov 2025
    We loved this ride along winding roads and hills, passing along many ranches, beautiful scenery, through mountains, and bluffs along the river. It was great! It was all through a GPS that took us through this wonderful and fulfilling adventure. This was well worth it and beyond! Would love to do it again on another visit.

    Response from Host, Dec 2025

    Thank you for such an awesome review. That route really shows off the best of the Hill Country and I’m glad you felt the adventure. We design each GPS tour to feel like a personal road trip, so it means a lot that it hit the mark for you. Looking forward to having you back for a whole new ride next time you’re in town

    Excellent service and wonderful experience.

    First time, the experience was excellent and FUN! The self-tour was excellent, was able to see the countryside of San Antonio! Plus, we had beautiful weather

    Response from Host, Dec 2025

    So glad your first ride with us was a hit. Nothing beats great weather and open roads through the San Antonio countryside. Our self-guided tours are made to let you explore at your own pace and it sounds like you made the most of it. Hope this is just the first of many rides with us.

    Awesome sling shot rental!

    Murphy_M, Nov 2025
    Best place to rent a slingshot. We’re so glad we chose this place. Kenny offers top notch service and the sling shots are in great condition. We rented two!!

    Response from Host, Dec 2025

    Appreciate you big time for this. It means a lot that you trusted us with not just one but two Slingshots. We take pride in keeping them in top condition and making sure every guest feels taken care of from start to finish. Can’t wait to welcome you back for another ride.

    Great trip! Self-paced and excellent tour of surrounding countryside. Plenty of time to take a few breaks along the way and even grab a quick lunch. Easy process to get checked in and everything is set up for you. Highly recommend and great value for the experience.

    Response from Host, Dec 2025

    Thank you for taking the time to share this. I’m glad you enjoyed the self-paced experience and got to soak in the countryside with time to relax and grab lunch. We work hard to keep the check-in process simple and make sure everything’s ready so you can focus on the ride. Appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you again soon.

    A great experience!

    Belinda_T, Oct 2025
    Super fun experience and very helpful and knowledgeable staff. We arrived and were shown rules and safety video then after signing some forms, we were good to start. It was a fun tour, a fun vehicle and all around exceeded our expectations. Would definitely recommend:)

    Response from Host, Dec 2025

    Thank you for the awesome feedback. I’m glad everything went smoothly from check-in to the ride itself. We aim to make the process simple and fun while giving you a unique way to explore the area. Happy to hear it exceeded expectations and we’d love to have you back for another tour.

    Cool way to cruise around. Friendly staff. We’re glad we took a chance on this.

    A fun experience and an interesting was to see some of the TX countryside. Would go again. Tip: if you’re beeboping around in a rental without a top, be sure to bring sunscreen!

    Response from Host, Dec 2025

    Appreciate you coming out for a ride. Glad you had fun and got a good look at the Texas countryside. Great tip too—the sun out here doesn’t play, especially if you’re riding without a top. We’d love to have you back for another run whenever you’re ready.

    5 Stars!!!!

    Michelle_S, Oct 2025
    We give this experience 5 stars! It was so worth it. We saw the countryside of San Antonio. Beautiful scenery especially along the Guadeloupe River. Lots of places to stop and eat. Highly recommend the rooftop covering to protect against the Texas heat. Kenny was so helpful!

    Response from Host, Dec 2025

    Thank you so much for the five stars. I’m glad you enjoyed the ride and got to take in the beautiful views along the Guadalupe River. The Hill Country always delivers and that rooftop cover definitely makes a big difference in the Texas heat. I appreciate the kind words and hope to see you back for another adventure soon.
