Ride the river and GO RIO! A new experience in water transportation is here. Colorful, new barges ride the river through downtown, while drivers provide narrated tours and point out unique San Antonio landmarks. Also, river taxi service is currently being renovated to offer guests pick-ups and drop-offs at several downtown dock locations every 15 to 20 minutes. Guests can buy individual tickets or charter a tour for a group to enjoy. Private cruises for up to 40 people can also be arranged.
