Very informative and interesting tour. Rudy was a great guide. Wish we took the early tour to spend time at the stops.
Cheryl_V, Apr 2026
This tour was very informative. Our guide/driver (Alonso) really knew his history of the area & told great stories. He obviously loves his job! We opted to only get off at one stop but had the option for quite a few more.
They told us that with the construction around the Alamo, the pick up point sometimes changes. It’s a good idea to call ahead so you go to the correct point.
Well worth the cost!

It’s a good thing to do if you want to see the historic part of the city. Buy tickets ahead of time for better price. Tour guides are well educated in the history.
Cheryl_B, Apr 2026
The experience was fine except I accidentally bought the wrong ticket. I should’ve paid for the two days and I accidentally bought the one day and now today I can’t go with my family because they got two days so I’m kind of sad. I did call to try to get help with it to see if they can change it since they both were the same price but unfortunately I called twice and nobody was able to help me so I’m a little upset about that so where do you buy one ticket or two? The class wasn’t any different so I feel like somebody could’ve helped me so I’m not gonna buy another ticket and my family has to go without me.

A great way to see a lot of the very interesting sights of SAN Antonio. Our driver was friendly and informed.
karen_m, Mar 2026
Super handy. Need little street signs at the stops for first timers. Nice knowledgeable guides and drivers.
Greg_S, Mar 2026
Enjoy myself and had a great experience; going during the wk was much less crowded than I expected, all the drivers were really good!
Cheryl_W, Mar 2026
Stops are not marked at all. Wasted 2 hours looking for the stop. Called customer service who was clueless. Sent a message through the app. When we got home there was an email response. Not happy. Once on the Trolly everything was great. Garret our driver very helpful & knowledgeable. We like doing the Hop on our first day in any new city

This is a wonderful way to learn about the area and travel around the city... especially if you do not have a car available. We enjoyed most of the tour guides, some better than others. We got off at the Japanese Tea Garden and loved it. We do wish we would have been informed before purchase of tickets of stops that could not be gotten to due to road construction (Tower of Americas) as it was too far for us to walk to from other stops and was one thing we had hoped to see. We also wish the operator had told us about great eateries and breweries near stops when we were there, rather than point them out after starting to drive again when it was too late to get out. It was great that they had a promotion of buy one day get second one free! We got to see and know alot more of the area than we would have if we were driving and navigating around the city. And.....no.parking anxieties!

Very disappointing- 1st stop was blocked with construction- had to catch the trolley as it drove by us. 1st driver very informative, suggested lunch at the Emma hotel. Which we did. When we were done, we had no idea where the next trolley stop was- there are no SIGNS advising you where the next trolley stops were. We only found it when we saw some people sitting on a wall. We really wanted to go to the Alamo next, but learned the trollies only go ONE WAY. We got on at stop 3 and the Alamo was stop 12- about an hour away, if we stayed on the trolley. We had no idea that your “ Hop on & Hop off” service would only take you one way, instead of having trollies that went the opposite direction also, if that’s what you needed.
Worst experience ever- a total waste of our money & time. The second driver was more interested in telling us what his favorite restaurants were. We definitely DID NOT want to go back for the 2nd day tour.

We toured San Antonio on the hop on hop off trolley tour bus. Our guide was Garrett and he was beyond fantastic. His knowledge was superior.
Tyler_P, Feb 2026
The drivers were good at sharing information about the city. The buses were clean. A good way to get around if you are new to the city. Buses come every 30 min so if you miss one it seems like a longer wait.
Nicole_S, Feb 2026
Very disappointed. At least 3-4 stops were unavailable. We were told at stop 12 to not get on and walk to a nearby spot (and were assured that he would have bus driver wait for us that we he would radio the request). The directions to get to that stop were convoluted and we missed our bus. We had to walk all over San Antonio to get to the tourist spots because the bus couldn’t take us there because of the closings and being told not to wait for this one to go onto the next one I spent over $100 on something we used for less than 15 minutes the entire day. Very frustrating and extremely disappointing! Would not recommend. Beating myself up for losing $100+ on disappointing tour.
Olga_C, Jan 2026
It was very nice and friendly drive.
The only drawback is the waited 60 minutes
Instead of 39 minutes at the pick up location
Due to some detour.
I wish we would have gotten some info
About it.
Amber_J, Jan 2026
This company was great at communicating when we called them. They were friendly and the information on the tour was interesting. One thing we figured out was that it says it runs every half hour, but that timeline varies a little.
Brian_L, Jan 2026
As others mentioned, not having some kind of marker to designate where the stops are was terrible. Our first stop, we were looking all over wondering where the stop would be at. Until we finally saw the actual trolley coming, then we knew where then stop was. The first stop was the most frustrating, but once we rode the trolley and saw where the actual stops were, then everything was great. The drivers were all very nice and friendly. The only other thing we didn’t like, was every time the “tour” got back to stop #1, they would reset the driver and we’d have to wait 30 minutes for a new driver/trolley. Just keep that in mind if you’re planning your day. That was a little bit of a hassle, but all in all, we enjoyed the trolley experience.
Suzanne_H, Jan 2026
The drivers were great and provided lots of information. I’d recommend this tour service for San Antonio
beth_n, Jan 2026
Very informative and ran on time. Enjoyed riding and listening to the history. Learned much about the city and was able to visit many places we wouldn’t have on our own.
Cynthia_S, Dec 2025
I have been living in San Antonio for 10 years now and this is the first time I did this. It gave me a lot of information of where to go so I can guide my visiting friends. The tour guides/bus drivers were all accommodating and knowledgeable. Jerry, Chief, Katelyn, Jim and another driver/guide (sorry I forgot his name) were funny and friendly.
JOANNA_V, Dec 2025
Albert was terrific. Very knowledgeable San Antonio’s history. We had a great time. In spite of the cold.
James_G, Nov 2025
Take the whole loop on your first day then begin picking the areas and things you are most interested in. Informative narration as you comfortably ride around the sights of San Antonio
Mark_T, Nov 2025
Very knowledgeable drivers to make the tour experience joyful and memorable! Highly recommended y’all!
Laura_T, Nov 2025
Very nice staff and excellent guide/driver. Learned a lot on the bus narration. Also liked being able to stop and then get back on later in the day.
Sally_C, Nov 2025
Ryan Lee was excellent
Natalia was great
Wonderful service The sound was good
The drivers navigated the streets awes
Minerva_G, Nov 2025
We enjoyed it. Saved us the hassle of driving in busy San Antonio roads. Be aware of the closing hours before choosing your last stop.
Lisa_W, Nov 2025
The last bus obviously came to the stop early and did not stay long. We were sitting there at the time we were provided. Subsequently, we missed the bus, missed the majority of the tour we paid $180 for, and had to walk back to the hotel. It was a disappointing experience.
MAX_D, Nov 2025
Easy reservations, good prices, friendly and knowledgeable… just use Viator if you want to make easier for you while on vacation!!!
Amy_R, Oct 2025
Speakers system on the three buses we were on were muffled. Moe needs to stop talking to himself. Every sentence he spoke so you ask Moe. We did not have to wait very long in between stops.
Jamie_D, Oct 2025
I learned so much on this tour! The drivers were SO knowledgeable and added “extras” in from their own experiences.
Cyndi_H, Oct 2025
The bus drivers were exceptional! The only thing that keeps me from rating it perfectly were two things: it was almost impossible to get my online tickets with a QR code emailed to me in my aol account as we have done for years. The Viator support team sent me a number, but the bus drivers on site required a QR code. Finally the driver took pity on us, and let us on, but it was stipulated we could not get off and get back on without the QR code. It took over an hour of my tour arguing online for the link to be properly sent to my aol account. The full day excursion ticket with QR came through beautifully, but the hop on hop off did not. What a rotten way to start our short holiday!!! Secondly, the stops were changed but not listed. Some were eliminated due to construction in the city. It was not listed previous to buying the ticket. We planned on utilizing at least two of the eliminated stops extensively and had to uber two days for those stops. That was partly understandable but I wish we would have known that ahead of time. I miss the Big Bus stops! The drivers were outstanding and extremely entertaining and helpful. Mo, Albert, Ian and another gentleman were top of the line.
