A fun Boat ride on the Riverwalk

You spoke about the boat rides on the Riverwalk. We went to San Antonio last year and went on a boat ride on the river walk. This was so much fun! I suppose it was not "jump up and down" fun, but it was such a nice way to see the river walk.

We had to stand in line for quite a while to buy tickets, but people in the line were chatting to each other and that made it feel a lot shorter. The atmosphere in the riverwalk was so laid back anyway that it didn't matter.

The boats a flat-bottom boats with seats on the sides and in the center. The tour guides also drive the boat and tell lots of stories about the river walk, its history, and tell stories about some of the buildings along the river. I would say the tour probably lasts about 30-45 minutes.

The whole setting is just so nice. Here you are, cruising lazily down the river, people strolling along the pathways along the sides, the tour guide doing her bit, passing by restaurants along the way. Very pleasant.

We enjoyed the boat ride so much that I think we'll do it again when we visit San Antonio over the holidays.
