We had a driver named Leroy that was wonderful and so funny and informed.We had so much fun and learned so much about San Antonio. My Husband and I will love to this again one day if we could get Leroy. Thank you Leroy for a wonderful time you made part of our vacation so much fun. I encourage more... More

We had a great time being shown around town by Leroy. He knows his stuff, and is lots of fun to listen to. More

This tour was a good choice for us while visiting SA, we visited all of the attractions and received a lot information of the places we visited, Leroy was funny but Phillip was the best, he love San Antonio and enjoy his job very much. The main office give you a schedule of the day so you know at what... More

Two brilliant tour guides! We took the 2 day combo ticket with Imax Alamo movie etc, and were pleased with the value for money. Warmly recommended - these are two fun guys, and you'll have a great time with either. More

A must if you are going to San Antonio. Very informative tour and if you have the time take the two day tour. Leroy is the greatest and a joy to ride with him. More

Enjoyed both Phillip and Leroy on the two day pass but slightly more intrigued with Phillip's storytelling. Got off at each mission, King Williams District, Market Square, Cathedral, etc. Use this service as a taxi of sorts to get around town. More

I should have read ALL of the reviews, to include the 2-stars, to have been better prepared for the disappointment that we experienced on our Alamo Trolley tour today. Having taken and thoroughly enjoyed similar tours in Savannah and Vancouver and having noted that Alamo Trolley received a 4.5-star average rating, my husband and I were eager to use this... More

Just a perfect example of "You can't please everyone all the time". We do our best to provide a very enjoyable and informative tour. I am sorry that this couple did not like Phillip. If they had said something while in town we could have placed them on a Trolley with different tour guide. More

Leroy, one of the Alamo Trolley drivers, could be a stand up comedian. By the end of the tour, he will feel like family. Try to ride on his trolley, if you can. The tour itself is very utilitarian. It is a great introduction San Antonio. More fitness oriented visitors can take the trolley one day, and then visit the... More

When seeing/visiting San Antonio sites, the Alamo Trolley Tour is the best. Our guide was very pleasant, entertaining, and interesting. There are multiple sites on the tour, and you may hop off, visit the site, and then hop back on when the next bus arrives, or you can choose to stay on the bus and view the sites from the... More
