Love hearing that! 🙌🏾 We try to keep everything easy, flexible, and focused on making sure you actually get to enjoy the ride—not stress over the little stuff 😂 Glad you had a great time, and we’ll definitely be ready for you when it’s time for round two! 🏎️💨
Ride was great around the outskirts of SA. Great company and thinks about your needs when you forgot to bring sunglasses, sun tan lotion or drinks. Forgot your cooler no worries, he has coolers. Definitely will be back!

That’s the goal—we try to have your back before you even realize you forgot something 😂 Sunglasses, sunscreen, drinks, cooler… because once that Texas sun hits, you’ll remember real quick! Glad you enjoyed cruising the outskirts of San Antonio and had a great experience with us. We’ll be ready for you when you come back for round two! 🏎️☀️
Unforgettable moment. Everything all mapped out to ensure the perfect experience. Can't wait to do this again with friends and love ones.

Thank you so much for the awesome review! We’re glad it turned into an unforgettable experience for you.
That’s exactly why we map everything out ahead of time — so you can just enjoy the ride, the views, and the “we definitely have to do this again” moments. We’d love to have you back with your friends and loved ones for another adventure!
It was awesome to drive through a part of town we never seen before. Beautiful, relaxing scenic view. Will definitely do it again with next visit.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you so much for the awesome review! We’re glad you got to see a part of the area you hadn’t experienced before.
That’s one of our favorite parts of these rides — getting people off the usual path and into some beautiful, relaxing Texas views. It’s amazing what you can find when you let the Slingshot lead the way a little.
We appreciate you riding with us and would love to have you back on your next visit!
We had a great time! The weather was warm, but overall pretty nice. I did use sunscreen since I wore shorts. I loved taking the back roads and enjoying the scenery. The staff was friendly and helpful :)
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you so much for the great review! We’re glad y’all had a great time and enjoyed taking the back roads.
Texas weather definitely likes to remind everyone who’s in charge, so sunscreen was a smart move — especially in shorts! We’re happy the ride was warm, scenic, and worth it.
We appreciate the kind words about our staff and hope to see y’all again for another relaxing Hill Country adventure!
The experience was great. Viator needs to update the starting address to include building #11 as there are ~26 small buildings at that address with various businesses at them. The ride is preplanned and about 65 miles. The speed limits vary from 20mph to 65mph and you need the whole 2 hours to complete the ride, there isn't much time to stop. The route takes you through the country side, through a small town, through a canyon, by a dam, and by a river (not in this order) and you download a navigation app that tell you were to turn.

Thank you so much for the great review and for sharing those details! We’re glad you enjoyed the ride and the preplanned route. That 2-hour adventure definitely keeps you moving — countryside, small-town roads, canyon views, the dam, and river scenery all packed into one route makes for a full experience.
We also really appreciate the note about Viator showing Building #11 more clearly. You’re absolutely right — there are several buildings at our address, and we want guests to find us as easily as possible. We’ll continue working to make that arrival info clear so the adventure starts with the Slingshot, not a scavenger hunt! Thanks again for riding with us, and we hope to see y’all back for another adventure soon.
Great experience altogether! The slingshot was fun the explanation on how to drive it and to be able to hook up the GPS was easy! The drive itself was beautiful as it took us to all different areas. There’s no way we would’ve seen otherwise. Definitely a great experience to get out to see parts of San Antonio, that most tourist would never think to go and check out.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you so much! We’re glad y’all had a great time and that getting comfortable with the Slingshot and GPS was easy. That’s the goal — quick rundown, simple directions, and then off you go to enjoy the fun part!
We love hearing that the route helped you see parts of San Antonio you probably wouldn’t have found on your own. Those hidden roads and scenic spots are where the adventure really starts. We appreciate the recommendation and hope to have y’all back for another ride soon!
Fantastic. The weather was perfect, the views were beautiful, and the drive was so fun. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much! We're glad you had a fantastic time—perfect weather, scenic views, and a fun drive is exactly what we aim for! Appreciate the high recommendation and hope to see you back for another adventure soon! 🌞🏞️🔥
The ride was beautiful and we had so much fun. The area down by the river was very neat. We would definitely do this again and probably would sign up for the 4 hour ride so that we could stop at places.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Glad to hear you had a great time and enjoyed the ride down by the river. That area always surprises people with how peaceful and scenic it is. The four hour option is perfect if you want to take your time and explore a few stops along the way. Looking forward to having you back for round two.
