You’ve strolled the River Walk, taken your photos, grabbed a margarita, and maybe even hopped on a boat. But what if the real San Antonio — the art, the color, the flavor — lives just a few streets away?

 

That’s where Mural Ride Bike Tours comes in. We take what visitors love about the River Walk — its energy and charm — and add motion, murals, and stories that show you the heart of the city from the saddle of an e-bike or through a locally guided walk.

 

Explore San Antonio Beyond the River Walk

Our tours start just minutes from the River Walk — close enough to be convenient, but far enough to show you something completely different.

 

You’ll pedal or stroll through neighborhoods filled with creative energy, historic architecture, and walls that speak louder than any guidebook. You’ll see how street art connects with San Antonio’s identity, and you’ll get to know the people who paint, ride, and live here.

 

📍 We currently meet at Pulp Coffee Roasters downtown — soon moving to Hemisfair for an even easier connection to the River Walk.

What You’ll See on a San Antonio Mural Ride

Every turn brings a new perspective — and yes, more than a few Instagram-worthy stops.

Highlights include:

  • The bold murals of the D.R.E.A.M. District
  • A stop outside Reese Bros BBQ, a Michelin- and Texas Monthly-recognized favorite where we soak in the smokey aroma and the neighborhood vibe
  • San Antonio’s only street art park that features 10 of the top muralists across the city, like Ana L. Hernandez, DeltetedTX and Josiah Harris.
  • Local legends like Rudy Herrera and the new wave of San Antonio muralists

Each mural tells a story about the city’s soul — and our guides know those stories firsthand.
