Overview

The Old Town Trolley Hop-On Hop-Off Tour is one of the easiest ways to see San Antonio without wrestling with parking or a car. The full loop runs about 90 minutes with live, fun-filled narration, so you can either stay aboard for the whole tour to get your bearings or hop off wherever catches your eye and rejoin the next trolley when you're ready. With 13 stops spread across the city, you're never far from the big hits. Disembark at the Alamo, wander the historic Pearl District, visit the San Antonio Zoo, stroll the Japanese Tea Garden and Botanical Garden, explore the Witte Museum, meander the River Walk and La Villita, take in the Tower of the Americas, or shop and eat your way through Market Square. Best of all, your ticket includes the next day free, giving you two days to cover ground at your own pace. It's a relaxed, flexible way to combine sightseeing and transportation, especially handy if you're staying near downtown and want to reach spread-out attractions without the hassle of driving.

Highlights

  • Fully narrated, fun-filled tour lasting about 90 minutes for the complete loop
  • 13 stops covering the Alamo, River Walk, Pearl District, La Villita, Market Square and more
  • Hop on and off freely to explore museums, gardens, the zoo and Tower of the Americas
  • Second consecutive day of riding included free
  • No parking or driving needed — a convenient way to move between attractions

Pros

  • Two days of use makes it great value for slower-paced or multi-day visits
  • Live narration adds context and helps first-timers get oriented fast
  • Stops near most of the city's major landmarks in one flexible ticket

Consider

  • You'll wait for the next trolley when hopping back on, so it's less ideal if you're on a very tight schedule
  • Attraction admission (zoo, museums, Tower) is generally separate from the tour ticket

Best for

First-time visitors and families who want a relaxed, car-free way to see San Antonio's highlights across a day or two.
