GO RIO San Antonio River Cruises

Great experience with our captain Craig. It was like an entertaining history lesson, on a boat. They offer a military discount, which we were happy to accept. So go take a half hour relaxing boat ride on the San Antonio River, which is mostly real and just a little fake (info from the tour 😁).

During our Spring Break 2025 visit to San Antonia, we watched the GO RIO boats guide visitors along the San Antonio River, along the River Walk, for a couple days before embarking our own early evening excursion just as the sun was setting. The magical lights were now on on bridges, buildings, and through the River Walk areas. Our guide was very informative and made the evening special. Most of the boats were packed, but the lines to wait weren't that long. I recommend purchasing your tickets online. There are two locations to embark on your water tour. If it's too hot for you to take this tour during daylight hours, I highly recommend an evening tour. You won't be disappointed.

The tour guide was amazing and very informative as well as funny. The tour takes about an hour and it honestly feels less than an hour. If you're a tourist, I definitely recommend it. The tour guide pointed out several different spots for sightseeing and eating that I was not aware of.

My family and I caught a river boat to ferry up stream to the heart of the action. We considered taking the guided tour on another boat after the 45 min trip on board the first boat. However, Miss Emilie did such an amazing job keeping us entertained with her skillful navigation of the difficult waterways, we decided just to disembark and have a nice dinner instead of journeying on with the guided tour. Thank you so much for an amazing trip, Miss Emilie. You made us smile :) Cheers Rio River Cruise Friends!

This was a nice part of our day here. It was not too expensive. Our guide had a lot of info about the area and lots of interesting facts we wouldn't have known about without taking the tour. I would recommend it.
