    Robinson R44
    Kelley S.

    Great experience all-around!! Scheduling my flight online was smooth, signing the waivers via email link was easy and the check-in was quick. The guy at the front desk (sorry, I didn't catch your name) was friendly. We walked inside the lobby just as he was walking in from the tarmac & he greeted us by our first names (which means he looked at my reservation before he walked the people ahead of us out to their flight). I'm originally from a small town where everybody knew everybody... so, for me, it's a nice feeling knowing that someone actually looked at your name on the schedule. Right outside the terminal are benches -- I sat there before & after my flight (for about an hour), watching aircraft take off & land. We flew in a Robinson R44 (for those aviation geeks like me out there)! The capacity for this tour is 3 passengers -- so 4 people total with the pilot. The flight: "Alamo & More" was the ride I purchased (great deal on Groupon). 15 minutes goes by very quick but we saw so much! Alex was an awesome pilot -- informative, friendly and very personable. He asked questions about us and also answered the zillion questions we had for him!! He pointed on elephants on the ground at the zoo, looped around the Tower of the Americas twice, flew over the Quarry Market, showed us the Alamo & several other missions. Alex made us feel safe as he flew the helicopter all around the city -- we would definitely fly with him again! Thank you for your service in the USMC, Alex. Overall, great value for your money, fantastic staff and a 5-star experience from start to finish. Thank you!

    My husband surprised me with the Austin Salt lick bbq helicopter tour for my birthday. José was our amazing tour guide. He was very kind, knowledgeable, informative and super friendly. He made us feel very safe at all time and the helicopter was a beauty! I would recommend this experience a million times because I will never forget it myself!

    I got my son a the Circuit of the Americas flight for his 17th birthday. He LOVED it. His own words: "It was a really cool experience. The pilot and staff were very nice and the overall helicopter experience is something like no other. Seeing the city you live in from above is rare, but really cool if you can do it. All in all, great company and great first-time heli ride."

    Great experience start to finish. Scheduling and rescheduling because of weather was a breeze. Our pilot, Juan, was extremely reassuring and kind. Thanks so much for the great adventure! :)

    In-flight excitement.

    A father-son morning that I will never forget. Hopefully he feels the same way! Everyone was delightful to work with, and I felt well-briefed and safe throughout this brief adventure. This experience was a true blessing. We will return for a longer flight sometime soon!

    This week I had the opportunity to visit San Antonio and experience the helicopter ride and OMGGGGG what an AMAZING experience we had! Jose was the BEST and made our first experience flying in a helicopter the BEST! Friendly, knowledgeable, professional, funny, and just made our experience great! The ride was smooth and so beautiful.

    We booked our tour a few days ahead and everything went off without a hitch. It was a great experience! We went on a 10:30am tour August 10th. From checking in with the young man at the desk to the pilot himself, they were great. The pilot and the man who checked us in offered to take photos for us which we took them up on. The man who checked us in was very specific on instructions for our safety which was reassuring. The pilot gave us a full tour of the city and its history explaining everything along the way. We had a fantastic time. Would definitely recommend!

    Can kids ride on it?

    Yes, we love to have kids fly with us! Children 2 and older requires their own paid seat. If under 2, they can sit on a parents lap for free.

Our guide Diana was delightful & gave us tips on wine tasting & the process of wine production. She even offered the history of winery's in the Texas Hill Country & the local town Boerne. So if you or your group are in San Antonio look up Cottonwood Wine Tours & book yourselves for a fine day out!

Love the park and ride, it's a relief being able to drink alcohol and not have to worry about calling an uber or cab. The park and ride allows you the opportunity to just relax, and enjoy the experience. If you log onto their website they have different tour packages. We did the Guadalupe River tour. We stopped at 3 Winery's and a distillery and tried some moonshine. We stopped for lunch in Comfort, Tx which was a cute little town. You get out and enjoy a some time looking around before moving on with the tour. The winery's they take you to are just amazing. What you get for the price is such a great deal. We never felt rushed. They allowed us to sight see and allowed us to just take our time to enjoy each winery. Diana or Robin even took our photos.

First off, let me start by saying our driver Nate, was an absolute doll. He was the only good part about the experience with this company. The company is called San Antonio Wine Tours, their website says they are based out of SA and pickup in SA. When booking a half day tour, their website says there is only enough time to go to dripping springs. So I booked dripping springs and requested and additional hour to have lunch. Upon calling to update my reservation I was told the extra hour I purchased would go towards travel time. TBF dripping springs is 1.5 hours from my home and they said ppl usually spend 45min-1hr at the wineries. That being said, why does the basic half day package say there's enough time to go to dripping springs only, which I chose, yet my additional hour has to be used for travel. It didn't quite add up. So I explained this to them and was given the response "oh, I guess the website needs to be corrected". Also, they just asked "do you want to cancel?" No attempting to right their wrong. I soon realized it's probably bc the deposit I put down was non refundable so they probably didn't care bc they already had some of my money. I was told that apparently they have been pulling this since they started 2 years ago and the website was supposed to have been "corrected" many times before this. So buyer beware, this company practices dishonest and what I feel is shady business. They also seem to not care about if the customer is upset and only about the money that can get.

It's across from the cell phone parking lot right as you enter the airport on you're right hand side. When you pull in, the parking lot needs to be fixed because there where lots of huge pot holes. If I wasn't driving the truck it would have been bad because you cant see them. So watch out if you have nice rims or in general. The instructor was already outside which was nice because he took our paperwork straight to the owner since no one was at the front desk. They took care of use right away which was nice. Someone walked in for the school side of the company and the owner finished taking care of us regardless of the fact that the man kept interrupting and trying to get his paper reviewed. I always appreciate good customer service so plus there. The building itself needs some up grades and the A/C must have been broken because it was sweaty hot in there. The tour was only suppose to be 30mins but ended up being a nice hour which was great. My husband got to fly and pretty much do everything except actually land the plane which was awesome...he loved it. I would use them again for something like this. As far as the school side I can't really say what they off but the flying tour was great!
