What people are saying about San Antonio Zoo

Overall rating

3
(3 reviews)

The driver / guide was excellent. Easy to understand, good PA system, he had a thorough understanding of San Antonio's history, and good sense of humor. We couldn't drive by the Alamo because of city street construction, but overall, it was a fun experience.

San Antonio is really spread out. It was a fantastic way to get to the major attractions or at least in their vicinity. The guides are helpful and informative and absolute whizzes at navigating the sometimes narrow one-way streets.

Hi, if you could add a bus or a little van for a Downtown/ historic places tour would be awesome, even if the price goes up

Guide was great. Intercom/pa system had an annoying buzz. Guide apologized. Said it was new and would be fixed

we went to the zoo and fed the giraffes. loved it, can't wait to do more
