This is a great way to experience Texas as a tourist. I stopped by a little town and it felt like I was seeing some of the real Texas culture. The staff were amazing and went above and beyond to make it an enjoyable experience. This is definitely one of the top things to do in San Antonio
Thank you so much for the awesome review! We love hearing that you got to experience a little piece of the “real Texas” while you were here. That’s exactly what we hope for — not just a ride, but a chance to get out, explore, and make some memories beyond the usual tourist spots. We’re glad our team helped make it a great experience, and we really appreciate you calling us one of the top things to do in San Antonio. That means a lot to us. Come see us again next time you’re ready for another Texas adventure!
Absolutely amazing. Jennifer was very sweet and that fellow Kenny was quite handsome. Would most definitely go again.
Thank you so much for the awesome review! Jennifer really is the sweet one around here, and Kenny will probably be impossible to deal with after reading the handsome part. He's going to love hearing that!! We’re glad you had an amazing time and truly appreciate you choosing us. We’d love to have you back anytime for another ride!
What an amazing experience. From the brand new machines to the perfectly set up route, the trip couldn't have been better. We discovered a road we didn't know existed. And riding with the top open provides a whole new perspective to the Texas Hill country. This was for our 29 yr olds birthday and we wanted to do something that we hadn't done before. And this was it. Thanks for this!
Thank you so much for the awesome review! We’re glad the birthday adventure turned into something new, memorable, and a little different from the usual celebration. That “road we didn’t know existed” feeling is exactly why we love building these routes. The Texas Hill Country has a way of surprising people, especially with the top open and the views all around you. Happy birthday again to the 29-year-old! We appreciate y’all riding with us and hope to see you back for the 30th… no pressure, but that one deserves a Slingshot too!
Unforgettable moment. Everything all mapped out to ensure the perfect experience. Can't wait to do this again with friends and love ones.
Thank you so much for the awesome review! We’re glad it turned into an unforgettable experience for you. That’s exactly why we map everything out ahead of time — so you can just enjoy the ride, the views, and the “we definitely have to do this again” moments. We’d love to have you back with your friends and loved ones for another adventure!
Kenny was amazing!!! We did a drop-in not knowing if anything was available! We were got lucky and he was able to help us out. The tour was awesome and beautiful. Saw many ideas for future visits to the area. Can't wait to come back!!!
Thank you so much for the awesome review! We’re glad the timing worked out and that we were able to get you on the road. Sometimes the best adventures are the ones you didn’t fully plan — you just show up, get lucky, and somehow end up cruising through the Texas Hill Country in a Slingshot. Not a bad day at all! We’re happy you enjoyed the tour and found some ideas for future visits. We’d love to have you back next time you’re in the area!
It was awesome to drive through a part of town we never seen before. Beautiful, relaxing scenic view. Will definitely do it again with next visit.
Thank you so much for the awesome review! We’re glad you got to see a part of the area you hadn’t experienced before. That’s one of our favorite parts of these rides — getting people off the usual path and into some beautiful, relaxing Texas views. It’s amazing what you can find when you let the Slingshot lead the way a little. We appreciate you riding with us and would love to have you back on your next visit!
We had a great time! The weather was warm, but overall pretty nice. I did use sunscreen since I wore shorts. I loved taking the back roads and enjoying the scenery. The staff was friendly and helpful :)
Thank you so much for the great review! We’re glad y’all had a great time and enjoyed taking the back roads. Texas weather definitely likes to remind everyone who’s in charge, so sunscreen was a smart move — especially in shorts! We’re happy the ride was warm, scenic, and worth it. We appreciate the kind words about our staff and hope to see y’all again for another relaxing Hill Country adventure!
Check in was easy. Kenny the manager gave us a great overview of how to drive the slingshot, safety and tour guidance. The scenery was beautiful. It was a fun experience, don't miss it.
Thank you so much for the great review! We’re glad check-in was easy and that Kenny helped you feel comfortable before heading out. We always want the fun to start before you even leave the shop. We’re happy you enjoyed the scenery and had a fun experience. We really appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you again for another ride!
From the moment you meet staff to the time you say goodbye, a great experience. Exceeded expectations.
Thank you so much! That means a lot to us. From the first hello to the final goodbye, we want the whole experience to feel easy, fun, and worth it. We’re glad we were able to exceed expectations — that’s the goal every time! Hope to see y’all back for another Slingshot adventure soon.
Great adventure outside of the city. Easy to follow two hour route. Owners were very friendly and accommodating. Take sunscreen and sunglasses. Rated 4/5 because of the distance from downtown.
Thank you so much for riding with us! We’re glad y’all enjoyed the 2-hour route and had a great adventure outside the city. Sometimes getting away from downtown is exactly where the fun starts — open roads, better views, and a little room to let the Slingshot do its thing! And yes, sunscreen and sunglasses are definitely Texas survival gear. We appreciate the honest feedback and hope to have y’all back out again for another ride soon.
