Visite en vélo électrique de San Antonio : peintures murales, street art et trésors cachés
Description
Évitez le River Walk bondé et voyez un côté de San Antonio que la plupart des visiteurs ratent. Le Mural Ride n'est pas votre visite typique de la ville. Nous allons enfourcher des vélos électriques et parcourir les quartiers de San Antonio remplis de street art, d’histoire locale et de certains de nos joyaux cachés préférés. En chemin, vous verrez plus de 30 peintures murales, de nombreuses ruelles, ruelles et coins cachés que vous ne trouverez pas par vous-même. Et non, nous ne faisons pas le même itinéraire tous les jours. Les peintures changent. Les nouveaux montent. Les vieux disparaissent. Les quartiers évoluent. Nous ajustons le trajet pour pouvoir vous montrer ce qui vaut la peine d’être vu dès maintenant. Votre Guide partagera les histoires derrière l'art, vous présentera certains des artistes qui façonnent San Antonio, et reliera les peintures murales aux quartiers et à la culture qui les entourent. Nous vous indiquerons également où nous mangeons, buvons, prenons un café et traînons, car vous aurez probablement besoin de plans après le trajet. Venez faire du vélo, voir des œuvres d'art incroyables et apprendre à connaître San Antonio un peu différemment.

Wow!!!! This was such a fun experience. Brian is super knowledgeable about the city and many parts of its history. The murals were amazing and knowing a bit about the artist and how they came to be was nice to learn on the ride. The bike was fun and easy to manipulate. Brian is safe while riding and knows lots of fun side treks. I will definitely do this again or anything else he has available in the future. Thanks for a nice few hours!!
Thank you so much for the amazing review, Tamara! I'm so glad you had a great time exploring San Antonio with us. One of my favorite parts of the tour is sharing the stories behind the murals and the artists who bring our city to life, so it's great to hear those moments stood out. I'm also happy you enjoyed the e-bike and felt safe throughout the ride. That's always one of our top priorities so guests can simply relax and enjoy the experience. Thanks again for spending a few hours with us. We'd love to have you back, whether it's another mural ride or one of our foodie experiences. There's always something new to discover in San Antonio! 🚲🎨
Awesome experience! Good food & great people! Would do this again for sure.
Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm so glad you had an amazing experience with us. Great people, great food, and an unforgettable ride through San Antonio is exactly what we hope every guest takes away from their time with us. Thank you for choosing Mural Ride and for taking the time to leave a review. Hearing that you'd do it again is one of the biggest compliments we can receive. We can't wait to welcome you back for another adventure. By then, we'll have even more murals, hidden gems, and local favorites to share! 🚲🎨🌮
Highly recommend. I would not have found a lot of the street art without a very knowledgeable guide, and there was a lot! A couple of things I could have done without were the pointing out of every restaurant and bar along the way and the constant photos which my guide took both with her cell phone and her smart glasses. She made it sound like she was taking the photos for me, but I never got any of them. Weird. Also, in retrospect, I probably should have said No to the smart glasses shots. Again, the photos weren't for me apparently so it was all a bit weird. The art was cool, though, and biking through downtown was nice.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such thoughtful feedback. I'm really glad you enjoyed exploring San Antonio's street art and appreciated your guide's knowledge. That means a lot to us. I also appreciate you mentioning the restaurant recommendations and the photos. Every group is a little different, and your comments are a great reminder for us to better tailor the experience to each guest's interests. I'm especially sorry you never received your photos. We always intend to share them after the tour, so it sounds like something went wrong on our end. Going forward, we'll also be sending photo galleries through our booking platform to help ensure every guest receives them. If you're still interested in receiving your photos, please send us a message through Tripadvisor or Viator. We'd be happy to get them to you. Thank you again for riding with us and for helping us improve.
Fantastic way to see beautiful parts of San Antonio that most tourists miss. Annette did a wonderful job keep us safe and explaining the wonderful murals along the way. We even got to see a painting in progress! We will book again the next time we are in town. Thanks for a great experience with three teenage boys! Annette was even nice enough to take photos and recommend a great taco spot for lunch! 5 Stars all the way!
Thank you so much for this amazing review! It sounds like y'all were an awesome group to ride with, and I'm so glad Annette helped make your family's time in San Antonio memorable. Seeing a mural in progress is always one of those unexpected moments that reminds us our city's art scene is constantly evolving, and I'm happy y'all got to experience that firsthand. I'll be sure to pass along your kind words to Annette. She genuinely loves sharing the stories behind the murals while making sure everyone feels safe and has fun, even with three teenage boys along for the ride. 😊 I also love that you mentioned the taco recommendation. Around here, good street art and good tacos just go together. Thank you again for choosing to ride with us. We can't wait to welcome y'all back the next time you're in San Antonio. By then, we'll have even more murals, stories, and hidden gems to share! 🚲🎨🌮
Had a great tour of San Antonio with Aaron. The tour was well paced with a bathroom/water break at the halfway point. Lots of cool murals and street art and cruising through cool neighborhoods. The bikes were really nice- with a moto button so you didn't have to pedal much at all if you are less athletic. Definitely recommend to do this early in your trip because I found lots of places that I want to revisit while I'm here.
Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! I'm so glad you had a great experience exploring San Antonio with Aaron. I love that you mentioned the pace of the tour and the comfort of the e-bikes. We want guests of all experience levels to feel confident and enjoy the ride, so hearing that means a lot. One of my favorite parts of your review is that you recommended doing the tour early in a visit. That's exactly what we hope for. Our goal is to help guests discover neighborhoods, murals, restaurants, and local gems they can come back to throughout the rest of their trip. I'll be sure to share your kind words with Aaron. Thank you again for riding with us, and we hope to see you back in San Antonio for another adventure someday! 🚲🎨
This was my favorite thing to do in San Antonio. Great way to see things off the Riverwalk. Aaron was an amazing guide. Definitely a must do. Highly recommend
Thank you so much for the kind words! Hearing that this was your favorite thing to do in San Antonio absolutely makes our day. One of our biggest goals is to help guests discover the neighborhoods, murals, and local culture beyond the River Walk, so I'm thrilled that experience resonated with you. I'll be sure to pass your compliments along to Aaron. He has a real passion for sharing the stories behind the art and helping guests experience a side of San Antonio that many visitors never get to see. Thank you again for the recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back the next time you're in town. There will be plenty of new murals waiting for you! 🚲🎨
I can’t recommend this e-bike tour highly enough. We have done bike tours around the world (e.g., Austin, Charleston, Buenos Aires, Melbourne) and Brian was the best ever. He gave clear riding instructions (slow down, stopping here, turning left) throughout the tour. He provided lots of history and current status of San Antonio which closely aligned with the murals throughout the city. His restaurant recommendations were spot on. Also the city is really flat and the e-bike ride was very easy, regardless of fitness level. His guidance really set us up for the great 4 days in San Antonio. Don’t hesitate to take this tour!
Wow. Thank you so much for this review. Knowing that you've experienced bike tours in places like Buenos Aires, Melbourne, Charleston, and Austin makes your comments especially meaningful. To hear that Mural Ride was your favorite is an incredible compliment. I also appreciate you mentioning the ride instructions, the stories behind the murals, and the local restaurant recommendations. My goal is for guests to leave not only having seen incredible artwork, but also feeling confident exploring the rest of San Antonio with a list of places they can't wait to revisit. Thank you for trusting me to help kick off your four days in the city. It was a pleasure riding with y'all, and I truly hope our paths cross again someday. Until then, San Antonio will have a few more murals waiting for your next visit. 🚲🎨🌮
Our group of four had a tour with Aaron. He was great—talking about the art, the artists, San Antonio, as well as anything else we asked him! Our tour missed a few installations and didn’t go quite as far since the Fiesta parade closed some of the streets, but we didn’t mind. We saw lots of the mural art! The e-bikes were comfortable and zipped us around town without incident. Great way to see parts of the city you might not otherwise. Highly recommend!
We’re really glad y’all rolled with Aaron. Fiesta definitely likes to throw a little chaos into the mix every year, but honestly that’s part of the San Antonio experience too. We’re glad it didn’t slow y’all down and that you still got to see a ton of murals along the way. Aaron is one of those guides who can talk art, local history, or just go wherever the conversation takes him, so it sounds like you got the full ride. And you nailed it. Getting into parts of the city most people never see is exactly what we’re going for. Appreciate y’all riding with us and hope we get to have you back next time you’re in town.
Very enjoyable ride. Bikes are in great shape and the guide was outstanding. Ccccccccccccccccccccccccc
Thank you for riding with us — we’re glad you had a great time. We put a lot of care into keeping the bikes in top shape, so it’s awesome to hear that stood out. And we’ll make sure your guide gets the credit too, they’ll appreciate that. Hope we get to have you back out on another ride next time you’re in San Antonio.
This was a very fun and educational way to get to know the downtown area of San Antonio! We even stopped at the Alamo! We are very appreciative of Aaron and Annette for being great tour guides!
Thank you so much for riding with us and for the kind words! I’m really glad you had a fun time getting to know downtown San Antonio. That mix of riding, learning, and seeing the city from a different perspective is exactly what we hope people walk away with. Big shoutout to Aaron and Annette too. They do an incredible job making the experience both fun and informative, and I’ll make sure they see this. Thanks again for spending part of your trip with us. Hope to have you back out for another ride next time you’re in San Antonio. 🚲🎨
