San Antonio 2 Day Hop-On Hop-Off Trolley Tour & Tower of the Americas

We loved the el Mercado scene and enjoyed our trip up the tower of Americas. Cool to see the view of the entire city!

I did a chat online with a representative the night before purchasing tickets and specifically asked questions about the hop on hop off bus tour. I wanted to make sure that we would be able to hop on and off at the La Quinta hotel(which showed to be a stop on the route) and I was assured that we could. After waiting over 30 minutes at the stop and no bus showing up, I called only to be told they don't pick up there due to construction. I told him it would have been nice had someone told me that, as I would not have chosen that hotel to stay at. We ended up having to walk about 6 blocks to catch the nearest bus stop as I was trying to avoid paying for parking as it is very expensive in San Antonio. I paid $12 and $16 on 2 other occasions during our stay, both under 2 hour parking time, when we drove to go eat somewhere.

Great guide he was amazing, we got rained on a bit but it didn’t hurt our fun. The construction and detours wer sucky though

When the driver pulled out and could not make his turn and hit the brick flower barrier and almost hit a truck, I was worried. Then the bus would not move and traffic piled up behind us. We were told to get off the bus and take the next one but seeing how this bus was blocking traffic, the other bus was stopped also. Not a good experience. Wasted our money.
