Top 10 Bus Tours in San Antonio, Texas (TX)

July 12, 2021 Timmy Ribble

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 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.

Ranger Creek is a “Must See/Do”. San Antonio is known for a lot of things but Ranger Creek is putting it on the map with their out of sight whiskeys. Smooth, drinkable, and full of flavor, I wanted to try them all! On fridays and saturdays you’ll have to check out their cocktails. If liquor isn’t for you, try their awesome beer or food trucks! The tasting room has great atmosphere. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and will be coming back in the future!
