History & a relaxing way to get introduced to San Antonio

Kathryn_N, Apr 2024

Friendly peopled, good story tellers full of fun stories and history as we drove around San Antonio, a nice way to get to know the city.

John_S, Apr 2024

City is awesome. Only complaint too much roadwork. Drivers were great and well informed. We would do this again.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

We are so happy you had a great time with our CAST. We hope you'll visit us again when you visit one of our destinations.

Enjoyed it.

Karen_M, Apr 2024

Drivers/ narrators were excellent. Good way to get around the city. Was disappointed that the route followed was not as advertised on line & some listed stops were skipped altogether. Overall good.

Not a good experience

Greg_A, Apr 2024

Could not understand much of what was said. Between enunciation and traffic the acoustics were poor.

Must Do

SYLVIA_B, Apr 2024

Great way to start your trip. You get to see lots of places. You can stay on the trolley & get off & on whenever and wherever you like. I would recommend you do this at the start of your stay in San Antonio so you get the lay of the land & decide what you would like to do with the remainder of your time.

Love Hop on Hop off

Clarece_C, Apr 2024

We always love hop on hop off tours and this one did not disappoint. It was a great way to get the history of the city and allowed us to get off a couple of different places and tour with out having to drive around town.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

I was very disappointed....

Mary_D, Apr 2024

I was very disappointed. They didn’t take us to all the stops. You don’t do the Japanese gardens anymore but yet you advertise that you do. The driver was very good

I loved the tour but...

James_D, Apr 2024

I loved the tour but timing was off, later than we were told to get to our unmarked stop. Used hop on hop off in many cities and we were never confused

Response from Host, Apr 2024

We're glad you had a great time! Thank you for the review!

Don’t bother.

Jennifer_A, Apr 2024

No significant information. Pointed out random things on the side of the road. Very little history but a LOT about places he took his mom and all that she fell in love with. Pointed out real estate and price estimates of in the $100thousands when the realtor app showed $500s. Absolutely horrible ride other than the nice breeze. Should be given a refund.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Superb!

Teresa_C, Apr 2024

Captain K and BC/RC or ? We’re both great! They made the city tour so interesting, giving factors, telling stories, and capturing our attention like a well oiled machine. Good job guys!

Hope_K, Apr 2024

Good way to see the downtown area. Also a good way to get from place to place if you don't have your own vehicle.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Awesome experience

Erica_R, Apr 2024

I loved cruising with Robert, he really made this experience so fun and memorable. Captain K was good as well. Loved the fun facts about each attraction. I recommend starting early doing the whole tour and the next time around getting on and off at your favorite places. Thank you for an awesome time will definitely make this part of our trip next time we come to SA!

Response from Host, Apr 2024

It's a great compliment to hear that one of our visitors would come back. We'd love to see you visit us again! You’ll also find our tours in Nashville, Saint Augustine, Savannah, Key West, Boston, San Diego, and Washington DC.

Super fun and the bus drivers were great. Robert was super fun.

Shizuka_V, Apr 2024

Had a wonderful time. Would recommend doing the whole ride to get all the history then again to get off at the stops you want to see more. Get a 2-day pass if you want to spend more time at some places. We started with 1 day but ended up getting another day to get off at the stops we wanted to walk around.

Lisa_J, Mar 2024

My husband and I really enjoyed the great personality and stories of the driver. One thing I would have liked to know prior to booking was when the tours ended for the day. (4:30 pm) It was unclear if it was just that driver, or the all the tours for the day. We would have started our touring earlier to take in the sites. As it was, we could only do the ride and didn't have time to actually, hop on and off.

Response from Host, Mar 2024
