Climb aboard the San Antonio City Tour and treat yourself to the Alamo City’s most relaxing and complete sightseeing experience! Unlike hop-on, hop-off tours, this fully narrated, non-stop journey lets you settle into your seat and soak up the sights, stories, and scenery of San Antonio without ever worrying about routes, stops, or reboarding schedules. With convenient hourly departures, it’s easy to fit the tour into any vacation itinerary — from departure to return, your expert guide handles everything. All you have to do is enjoy the ride. Then see San Antonio from a different point of view with a Go Rio River Cruise. This combo ticket brings together two of the city’s most beloved sightseeing experiences at one great price. Discover a flexible and fun way to explore Alamo City from land and water.
Your journey winds past the legendary Alamo, where the story of the Texas Revolution comes to life through your guide’s narration. Roll through downtown past the majestic San Fernando Cathedral — the oldest standing church building in Texas — and the vibrant Historic Market Square, the largest Mexican market in the United States. Glide by the King William Historic District with its stunning 19th-century mansions and catch views of the soaring Tower of the Americas at Hemisfair.
Along the way, your guide will point out the best places to dine, shop, and explore after your tour, so you’ll finish the ride with a perfect plan for the rest of your visit. It’s the ideal first thing to do in San Antonio — get the full picture of the city in one effortless, entertaining loop, then spend the rest of your trip diving into the places that caught your eye.
No maps to study. No stops to time. No buses to chase. Just San Antonio, beautifully told, from the comfort of your seat.
The Go Rio River Cruise is a 35-minute narrated boat tour through the heart of downtown San Antonio. You’ll glide past iconic spots like La Villita, Selena’s Bridge, the Old Mill Crossing, the Briscoe Western Art Museum, and more. Alongside scenic architecture and public art, your guide brings the river’s history and culture to life, from the Battle of the Alamo to Tejano music legends.
The colorful, eco-friendly boats feature open-air seating and are fully accessible, making them a great option for everyone. With frequent departures and a boarding location near the Alamo, it’s a relaxing and memorable way to experience the River Walk from the water.
