Explore San Antonio’s landmarks by narrated trolley, then cruise the River Walk past historic sights on a flexible combo ticket.

About this tour

See San Antonio from two classic perspectives: the streets aboard a stadium-seating trolley and the River Walk from the water. This combo pairs a narrated trolley tour with a Go Rio river cruise, giving you the freedom to explore at your own pace.

Ride the trolley’s 12-stop route to landmarks and neighborhoods including the Alamo, the Pearl district, and the Japanese Tea Garden. Hop off to explore, then continue your journey with a second day of trolley access at no extra charge. A live guide shares stories of the city along the way. When you’re ready for a change of scenery, board a roughly 35-minute narrated cruise and glide past River Walk sights such as La Villita and Selena’s Bridge. Boats depart every 15–20 minutes, and the cruise ticket can be used on any day.

With flexible sightseeing on land and water, San Antonio Trolley and River Cruise Combo makes it easy to shape a day around the places that interest you. Choose your stops, then take in the city from the river.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.52 from 141 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in San Antonio
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 5.4.
