The tour is operated by Gray Line Tours bus service so this review is for that only, not of the Explorer Pass and not of Groupon. We really enjoyed the tour! I wouldn't say it's worth $109, but a Google search will yield you lots of partners selling the tour tickets at a discounted rate. Regarding booking, we tried to call the toll-free number on a Sunday for a Monday tour (need to reserve at least 24 hours ahead), but the office was closed. However, the automated message directed us to a cell phone number to call to reach someone directly for booking. My friend texted that number--omitted here for privacy but obtainable by calling the Gray Lines Tours number--and received a response within 5 minutes, if that. I also called a different number and left a voicemail message just in case, and I was called back within an hour or so and also texted. I really appreciate the effort on the booking agent's part! Once we were in touch, we provided our San Antonio Explorer Pass voucher numbers over the phone and were told that pickup from our hotel would be at 8:30-8:45 am. We made sure to be downstairs, ready, and visible from the street. The bus arrive within that allocated time. The bus driver called out my friend's name and we boarded. There were a bunch of others already picked up, and we picked up a few others along the way. We made a pit stop for bathroom and food about an hour in. The bus driver was super friendly, passionate about his job, and accommodating of passengers' requests. He gave us a lengthy and useful history of the major landmarks, the towns we passed, the important people and what made them significant, and of course much information about LBJ and his wife, Lady Bird. We stopped by the Boyhood Home of LBJ, the Texas White House on the LBJ Ranch, and saw many animals including longhorns up close and personal. We also got to check out the Air Force One-Half, the plane in which LBJ flew. We stopped by Fredericksburg TX for 2 hours to enjoy Main Street and have lunch. The pickup spot was easy to find. It's a huge bus after all! We also stopped by Luckenbach, a small centralized area of land in a town with a history of music and German migrants. We opted not to stop at the optional winery based on another majority vote. We were driven back right near where we were picked up and were back to our hotel around 6pm.

No vehicle ever came, and I received no call, message, or explanation from the company. A complete no-show with zero communication. I was left stranded with no time to arrange an alternative tour, and as an overseas visitor I couldn't rebook for another day. I emailed and called the company multiple times and have yet to hear back. Other online reviews reveal the same behaviour. Disappointing and unprofessional. If you're relying on this tour as part of a fixed itinerary, be aware it may not turn up.

You know what! I'll start by giving this 5 stars! Jules was our guide and I just have to hand it to him for tolerating my friends and I for displaying the opposite reaction to whatever reaction he was trying to manufacture via his story telling. No one welcomes a ghost touching up our leg at Moses Roses more than us - I guess. So you begin the tour with a welcome from Jules, rules and regulations and finally initiate a ritual by looking up at the moon and welcoming all spirits by howling at the moon really loud. You want to do it so loud that people passing by turn and possibly wonder if you are okay. We went to 5 bars total- there were drink specials at each bar which was nice. My favorite perk was vip entrance access to Pat O'Brien bar. We will walk to the ends of the earth for a good buffet, Peter Piper Pizza, Pluckers (just to name a few) -but avoiding half a block to the main entrance... well were LIVING. Look in all honesty - If you're trying to enjoy a drunk night out - this may not be for you because I can see how standing outside bars listening to a 20 min haunted story could be a buzz kill. Now, if you're genuinely interested in history and spooky stories - then this would be great. Stories were pretty interesting and surprisingly I remember all of them - someone quiz me now. I wouldn't say this is a SCARY experience overall so keep that in mind. If you want to get scared just order an Uber XL right afterwards - prices are ridiculous and you may get our driver who drove the most reckless.

I took this sightseeing tour for my birthday in 2022. As a former San Antonio resident, I was…read morelooking forward to seeing how the story of S.A. was told to tourists. The process for booking the tour was simple as it can be done online or in person. Patrons purchase tickets and are given a schedule of when the bus departs from the meeting point and of the sights the bus stops at. When entering the bus, patrons are permitted to sit wherever they choose on the double-decker bus. The Things elected to sit on the top deck in the baking hot sun (not recommended on a TX summer day). The tour is what you make it. You can craft your own route as the bus routes are designed to take you near the main landmarks in the city. By taking the hop on, hop off option, you can change routes and discover the city at leisure. The bus stops are multiple locations along the route, and the bus driver provides fun facts about the places along the bus route. While I didn't learn anything new about my city, The Things did. This is a great option for those looking to do something different in their own city or for those who are visiting S.A. for the first time.

We did have problems understanding due to bad acoustics on one of the buses. Another bus broke down. (It was replaced in 15mins). Because we hoped off and got back on, we had multiple drivers. One was really good... wish I knew her name (sorry). But she was informative and played music on her iPod when she wasn't talking. (Nice) One driver however, literally talked to the two women in the front seats about the Pink Concert that was happening in the evening. I was thinking.... Tell me about the damn history!! I just did a tour in Austin that was a lot cheaper and was way more fun and informative. (But it wasn't a hop on/hop off tour) Wasn't horrible, but I wouldn't do it again. Could have driven to most of the stop and even with parking, would have been cheaper.

She's a high school senior currently experiencing homelessness, and her mom wasn't able to celebrate her birthday this year.. As someone who runs a nonprofit, I reached out to a few places hoping someone would be willing to help make her day special. When I say they were absolutely amazing, I mean that with my whole heart. They were kind, welcoming, and so accommodating. They helped create a beautiful space where she and her friends could celebrate, laugh, and just be young for a moment. And listen... it wasn't just pictures. It was joy, confidence, and memories. Watching these girls light up, feel beautiful, and enjoy themselves in such a fun, creative environment meant everything. You could literally see their spirits lift. Everybody deserves to feel special, especially on their birthday and especially a young woman pushing through life and still showing up and doing her best. Because of this experience, I will always support and recommend them. If you're looking for a place that brings fun, creativity, and positive energy, this is definitely a spot you should check out

More about the grotto: https://sanantoniohappens.com/the-grotto-san-antonio/ 'The Grotto along the Museum Reach is a modern public art piece created by Carlos Cortés, which is located in San Antonio's historic Immaculate Conception Cemetery. That said, The Grotto honors this rich artistic lineage. Cortés' work is deeply inspired by his great-uncle's techniques, preserving the faux bois style that blends naturalistic beauty with spiritual reflection. The site evokes a sense of contemplation that connects visitors to San Antonio's broader legacy of public art and cultural symbolism.'
