River walk boat cruise is fun and relaxing. We learned so much about the city and architecture. Tour guide was clear and easy to understand.

Could barely hear the woman on the boat tour. Paid $35 for pictures not even of us on the boat! They were photoshopped green screen junk.

Excellent experience. We loved learning about the history of San Antonio and Texas. It's was so easy to hop off of the sites we wanted to explore and to get back to where we wanted to end our adventure.

The tour around the city is very informational and worth jumping on and off the bus. If you don't want to get off the bus you don't have to. The tour guide had a lot of information about the city. The boat ride is fun and a lot of information provided as well about the history of buildings and such.

Get to see so much more and not worry about parking or how to get there. We got to pick and choose what we wanted to see out of the destinations.

The stops listed on the Viator website are not correct. Stop 4 is listed as the Witte museum but is the botanical gardens. The tour itself was very enjoyable. The river cruise was well worth the additional cost.

We have never been to San Antonio before booked this thinking this would be helpful except for your company never sent us the right information we weren’t able to find out where we were supposed to meet or pick up the trolley. Ask several people in town where we pick up the trolley from no one could answer that question so we weren’t able to get on a trolley until late yesterday afternoon and wasted the whole trip because we couldn’t get off to see anything I will never book with you guys again

Always love the bus tours. Good way to see the city. Tour guide had done good information and some cute stories. Just wish it ran longer hours. The river cruise is a must and a favorite

So much fun and was so interesting! The trolley was comfortable and the driver was entertaining and knowledgeable about San Antonio. Just do it, you won't have regrets.

Drivers put their own personal touch on narration during the tours. The passion for their conversation is great !
