10 City Tours in San Antonio That You Shouldn't Miss
Step to the beat of wafting flamenco music as you wander the downtown River Walk before sampling as much chili (San Antonio’s signature dish) as your taste buds will allow. A visit to the Alamo is an absolute must, as is taking in a show at the ornate Majestic Theatre. San Antonio Missions National Historical Park is dotted with 18th-century buildings and features, making for an enriching excursion.

We had a great tour with Adam, our pilot! We did the Ultimate 45 minute tour and saw so much of San Antonio and the Hill Country. We flew over downtown twice, saw the zoo, Fiesta Texas, Medina Lake, The Dominion, Sea World and the San Antonio River. Jose was very friendly and explained everything to us and helped us in and out of the helicopter.Overall great experience and awesome people! Would recommend!

We appreciated the convenience of the Hop-On Hop-Off bus tour. Not having to worry about parking while we saw the sights was wonderful. We especially enjoyed our guide Kat. She kept us entertained during the ride and really went the extra mile to make us feel comfortable. Catch her bus if you can. Would definitely recommend. - Sweet Sixteen

Our guide was very knowledgeable and kinda fun so this rating is no way on her. This was my third tour by three different companies and they are all the same. I was hoping for something different for the price like actually going into buildings and doing more than just walk and talk. The traffic and people noise spoils it all. I know they cannot help it, but again for the price I expected something much better.

Kevin and Liz exceeded our expectations with their warm personality, adventurous attitude and fun vibes! The wife and I lived in San Antonio for 30+ years and learned more about the historical aspect of the city in 4 hours compared to all the years in grade school! In the midst of sight seeing through the city, Kevin and Liz made sure to connect with us personally. If you observed us during the tour, you could have predicted we were life long friends who just reconnected after not seeing each other for years! If you are looking for something unique, spontaneous and adventurous mixed with fun ~ than DO NOT think twice ... reserve a seat! HIGHLY recommend for couples or even someone trying to entertain a friend or family member for a day! I plan on bringing my two older kids next time and make it a family trip.

Our bus tour started right by the Alamo. You can get on and off all day as you need to. The tour is very educational and entertaining. It's a great deal and you must be a part of it when in San Antonio. The only regret I have is that we didn't do the Mission tour.
