River City Run

I love to run so when I saw this tour I booked it! I was a lil worried that the pace was going to be super slow but it was a really good pace. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and funny. This tour is nice because u get to see things up close and not from a tour bus distance. It’s affordable plus u get a tshirt!

Tina & Tommy gave a great tour! They made the run fun and interesting. I really enjoyed seeing the downtown in a different light. They were knowledgeable about all of the stops. All the people in our group were able to keep up and stay together. I would definitely do the tour again.

This tour is amazing! Tommy and Tina are incredible tour guides! I grew up in San Antonio and I learned so much from them. If you are looking for an exciting and different experience then I highly suggest that you give River City Run a try!

My wife and I ran the tour and were very happy to have done it at the beginning of our trip. We learned a lot about the city landmarks and it helped set the stage for our week-​long visit.
The tour makes several stops along the way which makes it enjoyable for runners and non-​runners.

What a great way to see the city and get in some exercise. Natalie and David did an excellent job of pointing out things and the history behind this beautiful city. If you run or jog it is a must do when visiting SA. Natives were even on the run.

Kelly and Vanessa were awesome guides on our not-​to-​strenuous run. It was our first time to SA so this was a great way to get an overview of the City while earning our future margaritas. Now we knew what sites we wanted to go back to to spend more time.
Thanks guys, keep it up!

If you’re debating whether or not to do this — just do it! What an awesome way to see San Antonio then to have a personal guide run with you from place to place. Don’t be concerned about the running portion, you will stop somewhat often to see all the different sites! The city doesn’t seem quite that big after doing a run around the town :) Don’t forget your camera!
Thanks Vanessa!

Even with having plantar fasciitis, I was still able to keep up with the group, we had a tour guide who would explain the history of certain landmarks. It definitely showed the beauty of downtown San Antonio and you’ll get a good workout as well. The run was a little over 3 miles, with multiple stops. As a visitor from California, I enjoyed it very much. The runners got a t shirt and we’re provided water at the end if the run.

Definitely something to do in San Antonio! great way to explore the city… found interesting places that we want to go back to and check out! beautiful views and fun places to stop! tour guides were knowledgable and fun to talk too!

A terrific way to see the city. I arranged an evening run group with Tina and it couldn’t have been an easier or more pleasant experience. She and Tom were terrific guides and our group absolutely loved the experience. Do it!

This tour was awesome! I am on the slower side and was able to keep up with no problem. The hardest part for me was the heat and the stopping and starting. If you are not a runner this could be a bit difficult though the two guides are very good about having one in the front and one in the back keeping track of runners and providing water. We had several young kids between 7 – 11 on our tour and quite frankly they did better than the adults. We also had a woman with a Chihuahua in her bag who was able to complete the tour. The two guides were very friendly and knowledgeable about the area and took us to many important places in San Antonio providing us with a wealth of history and information about San Antonio. The best part is the run is in the morning so you have the rest of the day to check out San Antonio!
If you are interested in visiting the Alamo make sure to visit another time because it will be closed while you are doing the running tour and you won’t be able to go inside before the tour. You will likely be too hot and tired to go inside after the tour unless of course you are a very serious runner.
The River City Run Tour inspired me and I will be searching running tours for future travels. What a great way to stay fit while on vacation and a good excuse to overindulge.

This is a pretty good running thing. Lance and Johnna knows all about running and they knows all about the city of san antonio. First they will tell you about the alamo. Then they will run you. Then they will tell you about the world’s fair and tower stuff. Then they will run you some more. They tell some good stories too. Specially about some french folks who went to jail for acting like mexicans in court. It was a pretty good story. It was a pretty good running thing. you get you a t-​shirt. You can get you some water too if you want. They has backpacks.

This was an amazing tour of the city. Excellent exercise and great historical info! There are 15 stops with 18 excellent landmarks to learn about. I loved finding out so much history in this unique form of a tour! Start one of your mornings off with this run! You won’t regret it! Guides bring water and you get a FREE shirt! :) Thanks to our guides ~ Tina & Venessa! They both did a great job showing us around the city! Would highly recommend this tour + would do it again if I get the change to come back to San Antonio!

I did this run and it was awesome! Everyone was so nice and they took lots of pictures for us! I recommend this to everyone that comes to visit!

Every year for my birthday I like to visit a city that I have never been to before. This year I chose San Antonio, TX!
While searching for activities to do in San Antonio, I stumbled upon the River City Run. How perfect! We were planning on flying into San Antonio late on Friday evening and this would be our first activity Saturday morning. What a great way to get a run in on vacation and figure out where everything is located!
My boyfriend and I met Venessa at The Alamo at 8:30am on 1÷17÷15. We were the only two on the tour but that did not bother us at all! We liked the individual attention. I feel like this tour is great for small groups as well as larger groups.
We made 15 stops along our run. Venessa was very patient and let us take photos at every stop. It was a nice running pace, not too fast or too slow, and Venessa was great and informative along the way.
She brought along a backpack of water bottles and we received t-​shirts at the end of the run.
I highly recommend this experience! It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip! Every city should have something like this :)

Such a great way to experience San Antonio! There were ~15 stops, the longest stretch being about 0.4 miles — perfect for a Sunday «stroll». I just expected more people to be on the tour… it would have been more exciting running with a bigger group. There were only two of us. On the plus side, it felt like a more personalized tour of San Antonio.
I was hoping for more exciting photos and photo opportunities during the run and during stops, but it didn’t seem like there was much effort put forth towards that aspect of the tour. Maybe it was just awkward only having two customers… just my speculation.
Nonetheless, the run route itself and the historical background at each of the stops exceeded my expectations. I will definitely recommend to all of my friends when they visit the city!

My husband and I went on this tour this morning and had a blast! The guides were real personable and understanding of my slow pace. They never left us. They brought us water which was nice on this hot and humid morning.
They really seemed to know a lot about all the places we stopped at. Heard some funny stories about president Clinton, ghost stories about some of the hotels, and a lot of fun history facts and stories. We stopped a ton of times. We went to places that you never hear about on the tour sites but were beautiful and worth the stop, like the art school and hemisphere park.
I look forward to doing this tour every time I visit San Antonio and will definitely tell everyone I know to do it when they come down.

Five stars, easy. Shoot, if I could give five hundred stars, I would. The tour guides truly love San Antonio, and it showed throughout the tour. We learned so much about SA that we’d never learned on previous trips or history books… it was like we ran through the history books! What a great way to wrap up our getaway to San Antonio… we’ll be back!

We had an absolute wonderful time during our run. It was great way to start the day. Our guides Tina and Kelly were fantastic. They were knowledgeable about the area and very accommodating. I loved how it was inclusive for runners of all types. I would HIGHLY recommend this to everyone!

A running tour of a city is something I’ve never heard of before, but I will certainly remember it forever!
River City Run is a great concept and Tina and Tommy are fabulous tour guides! The run is not done at a difficult pace and the longest distance they go is about .4 to .5 miles at a time.
We had lots of fun and would definitely come back and do it again :)
