Best thing in San Antonio - You could not ask for a better way to see the town of San Antonio. The vespas are fun, colourful and very safe but the main reason to do it is for the experience with the guides. We, as four Aussies had a fabulous night out with three San Antonioans and will remember it forever.

Amazing experience! - What a great way to experience San Antonio!!! We absolutely loved our tour and the owners are amazing. We have phenomenal chilaquiles and stopped to pick up a drink on the way. We saw parts of town that we would never have thought to visit. Plus we got to be in a side car, how cool is that! This tour is such a great opportunity explore a city from a different perspective, we loved it and highly recommend doing this if you are in San Antonio!

Gilligan’s Recommendation - MUST TRY!! - Tanfastic experience! Lizz and Kevin’s energy and positivity were almost overwhelming - we went on an 0800 tour of SATown and it was a wonderful way to set the day’s mood. Seeing the city from the sidecar perspective with their interests and input to guide the eyes and attention truly gave a new view to the downtown ‘tude. The food was on point (shoutout to BS!) and their company was the salt on the rim - added flair and flavor to an already stellar experience. 12/10

Incredibly fun experience!! - This experience was so unique and fun! Our hosts were incredibly kind, easy going and knowledgeable. This was a fun activity booked to celebrate my birthday. We started out at the Pearl where we parked our car, and our hosts welcomed us with flowers and a birthday balloon (such a sweet gesture). They talked about where we were going, and asked if there was anything we’d like to see specifically. Then we jumped in the sidecars and the adventure started. We rode around the Pearl, Southtown, Downtown, King William district, and they pinpointed art murals and the historical buildings, houses, hotels and museums. Stopped for brunch at Box St that was so good as well! I’d recommend this experience to anyone young and old. I felt safe at all times in the sidecar, and our hosts were excellent drivers. Highly recommend! You’ll get to see San Antonio in a whole new way.

Super fun learning adventure, excellent overview of San Antonio - This was a very fun tour, and riding in the sidecar was a much more comfortable experience than I expected. The tour guides were outstanding, very kind, very friendly and enthusiastic. I learned a lot about San Antonio, its art scene and various neighborhoods-- in all I got an excellent feel for the layout if the city, and an introduction to many places I plan to revisit. I plan to take another tour (probably of the missions) and I will also highly recommend it to friends. (For those with long hair I would suggest a way to keep it from flying around, maybe bring your bike helmet if that's your thing.) Also, it's great that they pick up and drop off at the Hotel Emma, which is at the Pearl, where there are lots of places to eat and things to see and do.

Do it!! - This was such a great way to see a lot of the city in a short time as well as learn a lot of history. The ride was very comfortable and even had blankets and warming bottles for the side cars! A very nice touch for sure. We would totally recommend this tour!

Poor all around experience! - We booked this tour and unlike anyone else in America they asked for each riders weight "in kilo's" didn't notice and assumed it was lbs and entered my husband as 195 which in kilos translates to about 485lbs.
At the last minute without even calling for clarification they sent us a cancellation for exceeding the weight limit. Poor customer service!
