The Hop-on-hop=off River Cruise was lots of fun, relaxing and the River boat captains were funny and knowledgeable.
It was disappointing that access to the Shuttle boats to get back to our Parking spots was not included in the $69 ticket per person. Would recommend that it should be or maybe a couple of dollars could be added to the ticket to make available this facility.
San Antonio Boat and Bus

The historical boat tour was fascinating. Our guide was knowledgeable and answered questions easily. We learned a lot and the boat was comfortable. We were on two different buses. One was ideal with a pleasant driver. The other driver was loud and crude. We did not stay on that bus too long. All in all we enjoyed the experience.
The cruise is fun

The cruises were really fun but the hop on hop off was not really worth it for us. If we'd been staying more than a day it may have been. But i was really hoping to see some sights that we would not otherwise see from the tour itself because we were only there for roughly 36 hrs. Unfortunately that was not really the case from the double decker tour. We did learn some interesting facts on both tours.
Relaxing and informative

I liked the riverwalk...
Felecia_S

I liked the riverwalk part of the tour, not so much the bus 😊the lady said it was her first day to drive the bus and it was very uninteresting trip. But the riverwalk part more than made up for the actual bus. I travel the world and I have to say that bus tour was the very least of my favorites. But not her fault as it was the first time she drove the bus. I would still give you guys a great thumbs up as the overall experience was superb.
Buy it directly from the bus company, not viator.

Do not recommend the bus tour!

The boat tour was amazing! The tour guide had impeccable knowledge of San Antonio and the river. His Australian accent was a perfect addition to the tour. The bus tour was a horrible! There was inappropriate music and the tour guide wasn’t sure where we were and didn’t share any insightful or informational facts.
Never Again.. Not worth the price we paid! Could have git it there alot cheaper. 🙄

Boat was relaxing, however, when I found out that as seniors, we could have paid $10, was disappointed.in the system. We enjoy it, bit with the double decker bus not so much. No ac and video was out on top so bout l I st our balance with driver nor knowing if we were seated or not. Only git on off once. This was very disappointing. Will not use service again.
But at location if only there 1day!

Angel was a great driver and host! We took the whole tour with him to start off the day. We then had two other drivers. One female and one male. Neither were very good. The female tried but kept referring to her husband and the male was disinterested, training another male and pushing the buttons for the next recorded comments.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
