Tour is super convenient and great way to see the top attractions- especially if you enjoy the history and local knowledge. The 2nd day pass is also a great way to revisit places you wanted more time at.

Could be hot and sunny, bring a hot for the boat. Bus great, windy day. Almost lost my hair and eye lashes but would have been worth it. Both Rose and Chief were amazing host. Very knowledgeable and funny.

    Mo! Mo! Mo! He was the best bus driver with his stories and jokes! Sarah also did a great job and some in our group loved Katelyn's extensive knowledge of the history of San Antonio. The boat ride was fun too!

    Great tour!

    Agnes_G, Jul 2026
    Easy peasy! Great way to book prior so you don’t have to find where to purchase tickets or wait in any lines! Drivers were all very friendly! Would book again!

    Some Good, Some Bad

    krisjb1, Jul 2026
    Confusion and poor handling of the situation led to taking the river boat cruise at an inconvenient time. I couldn't locate one of the passes so called the number listed on the paperwork for the tour. I was told that they could not help me and I would have to contact Viator. I could not find a direct line to call for Viator assistance. I did eventually print out the pass needed. Although Go Rio has a number of excellent narrators the guide who captained my tour spoke with marbles in his mouth. I got a few words every so often but missed most of the dialog. The trolley tour was mostly a positive experience.

    Rudy was amazing

    San Antonio boat and bus tour

    Greg_W, Jun 2026
    The boat ride on the Riverwalk was great Our hop on tour was great, good information and easy to. Donna, Sara Bc and Kenni helped us find our way after a race event closed road and altered the bus routes. Very helpful San anto

    Nice way to see San Antonio.

    Dawn_B, Jun 2026
    Very nice town. Not a trolley, but a bus. Drivers were very nice. Too few trolleys so long waits vs other cities. Not much to see at some stops. The Market is a must do!

    River Walk...River Wonderful

    Cornelius_M, Jun 2026
    Our guide, Pete was super knowledgable, but also super fun! A great way to see some history. Lovely capper for our trip.

    KARENandTONY_D, May 2026
    Would highly recommend - meeting places for trolley are easily accessible & a wonderful way to tour the area with stops along the way and the boats have different boarding options along the Riverwalk any time of day is great - in the evening is cooler and you can appreciate the lights - both provided great views & also information - my husband and I give a big thumbs up

    Worth it

    Marcia_M, May 2026
    It was an enjoyable relaxing way to see the city highlights. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable about the city’s history and culture.

    Horrible Untrustworthy Company!!!!!

    Ralph_R, May 2026
    I had a very disappointing experience with this company’s customer service. They were dishonest about the excursions and failed to follow up as promised—they neither returned my phone calls nor sent the emails they had promised. When I requested to speak with a supervisor, I was told he would call back, but that never happened. Save yourself the frustration: book directly with the excursion company instead to avoid unnecessary hassle.

    John_L, May 2026
    Jerry was very knowledgeable. Always hit the hop on hop off in whatever city we visit. Also let us know the great places to eat around town.

    Buy your tickets when you get there. Fun Tour!

    Dorothy_P, May 2026
    It is better to book you tickets when you arrive. We presented our Viator QR for the tour and the boat ride at the office. They printed out a QR code for us to use. It worked for the Trolley Tour but when we went to the Boat, they said we needed an additional ticket with a difference QR code. The office was closed and we couldn't get on the boat. Very disappointing.

    San Antonio Riverwalk, Don't miss to do!

    Tina_P, Apr 2026
    Don't miss the Riverwalk and cruise. Alamo is awesome, alot of History. Crocket Tavern and Mortons steak house were great dining options

    Enjoy the area everything is close by.🙂

    John_B, Apr 2026
    Plan to spend between 1 and 2 hours at the Alamo. Drivers very knowledgeable and fun.🙂 Great information on all the stops.

    Tour San Antonio

    Kathleen_S, Apr 2026
    The hop on hop off trolley is fantastic. It takes you to place in San Antonio that you wouldn’t be able to get to without a car. The drivers were informative and funny. So happy that it’s actually a two day ticket because there’s so much to do.

    Really?????????

    Carol_C, Apr 2026
    The tour listing are good. But finding a trolley stop is ridiculous. The City doesn't all9w them to put up signs for stops. So, if get off, be prepared to walk distances to find a trolley. As I told one of the employees, the 4 of us have literally been on all 7 continents. This was the most exasperating service ever. The trolleys are big, clean and have A/C. The price would be reasonable if you can the list of stops.

    Denise_L, Mar 2026
    River cruise was very fun! Trolley was good but BEWARE....there are no hop on hop off signs along the route. We waiting at various drop off spots for a bus but didn't know the times. HIGHLY recommend starting at the Alamo to get the bus

    Take the Trolley

    debra_b, Mar 2026
    We were told to be picked up at a location they no longer pick up at. We called and had to wait for 45 minutes Apparently it was the last stop. We got out and were suppose to wait another 30 minutes We left, later found a trolley and hopped on. Katelyn was fabulous and very informative. We hopped out. Did not do boat. Frustrated after trolley

    Never miss this opportunity

    Rhonda_L, Mar 2026
    The river cruise is always fun, relaxing, and informative. Love the hop on and hop off bus. Getting to travel around town and learn some history is always fun. It kept my 14 year olds attention.

    Boring

    Long boring bus ride. Couldn’t see out the plastic windows. Couldn’t really see any of the attractions from the trolley. Stops running way to early

    Debra_H, Mar 2026
    Trolley was enjoyable and guide very knowledgeable. River cruise was wonderful. Great sights and guide

    San Antonio Tour Fun

    Jessica_R, Mar 2026
    This is something my husband and I thought would be great to do and it didn’t disappoint. The air on the bus from the open windows felt amazing especially to get off of our feet! The experience itself was very fun and educational. We loved being able to hop on an off the trolly to shop and sight see that was the best part cause it took you to some spots that were very far away! The river boat tour we waited to the end of the night to take and I must say it was quite romantic after our dinner. Now the things I didn’t like were that for the trolly the designated stops and waiting areas are not marked. We missed our first trolly due to being in the wrong spot, but we were where they told us to wait just wrong side I guess! And the boat rides have long lines all day no matter where you board. They squeeze as many people as they can on each boat and it can be a little uncomfortable.

    With it.

    Kent_W, Mar 2026
    River ride was okay. Packed boat left little leg room. Trolley gave good info on places to see. Was interesting to hear about the history on both; a lot depends on the driver as to what info you get. Was a good deal to package the two though.

    Only thing I would...

    Valerie_F, Mar 2026
