Mural Ride was awesome. Annette was a wonderful guide. I recently had knee replacement surgery and I was able to use the pedal assist just fine. Annette checked in on me often to see how I was doing. Highly recommend!!

My mom and I did an electric mural bike tour in San Antonio and it was one of the best parts of our trip. Our tour guide Brian was very friendly and made the tour really fun. He showed us many different murals from different artists and explained the meanings behind them, which helped us understand and enjoy the art more.He also gave us great recommendations for places to eat and things to do, which was very helpful for the rest of our trip.I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting San Antonio, especially as one of the first things you do. After the tour, we were able to recognize many of the murals and artists as we explored the city, which made the experience even better.

We had such a great experience on the Mural Bike Tour in San Antonio! Our guide, Brian, was incredibly personable and made the whole tour enjoyable from start to finish. He was also very patient as I got comfortable riding the e-bike, which I really appreciated.Throughout the tour, we always felt safe navigating the streets, and Brian did a great job guiding us along the route. The murals we saw were amazing, and one of the highlights was hearing the stories and background behind the artists and their work—it added so much depth to the experience.We took this tour on our first day in San Antonio, and it ended up being the perfect way to start our trip. It was so fun to recognize the artists’ work around the city throughout the rest of our stay!We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting San Antonio—it’s a fun, unique, and memorable way to explore the city.

We really enjoyed our bike ride with Mural Ride. The communication from the beginning was excellent and my wife and teenage kids agreed it was great fun. Brian and Annette were friendly tour guides and gave clear instructions throughout on where to turn, when to go, etc. This was our first time to try e-bikes and the were so cool! The bikes looked like they were new and were easy to operate. The ride does go through multiple areas and road types so I’d recommend being decently comfortable riding a bike; however, with the e-bike you can pedal as much or as little as you like! Brian took us to multiple areas to showcase the San Antonio street art scene with some very impressive examples. Would recommend this tour to a friend for sure.

Wow - we had SUCH a great mural tour led by Aaron!! He is so knowledgeable about the different mural artists & styles that we saw, always quick to call out the local symbolism or story behind the artwork. I appreciated learning about the artists themselves, as well as the techniques that go into mural making.But the real fun of it is being able to ride with a group and feeling so safe thanks for the extra marshalling support from Sol!!We were blessed with gorgeous spring weather and nothing really shows off a city's best features quite like a perfect perfect ride :) A very unique & special experience for tourists & locals alike, 10/10 would pedal again!
