Was the only one for the tour but got shown more in depth than most tours in the area and was easier to get around at night for it, with each stop a decent story.

History, mystery, a little pop culture, and cocktails! Emzy is a great tour guide and took us to places we would have never found on our own and pointed out so many things we wouldn't have noticed with his guidance. He has an expansive knowledge of San Antonio history and presents it in a truly engaging fashion. When Emzy talks about San Antonio you can tell he knows what he is talking about and isn't just repeating a script. He can answer almost any question and back it up with pictures and articles from his iPad. It was like going out to cocktails with a new friend that is really smart! If you are reading this, you should really book this tour. We had the best time! Thanks!!Best time we had in SA. Emzy knows his stuff and is great company as well as extremely knowledgeable of local history myth and lore and is wise enough to know the difference.

We happened to stumble upon this gem while looking for a bar crawl. Made same day reservations. Emzy explained the different tours and helped us make a great choice. The tour was awesome. Plenty of time to get a drink or two at each stop. Get your steps in and learn a ton about the area. Also went to bars that I otherwise wouldn't have known existed. Definitely worth booking. Tour lasted a little over 5 hours.Really, we loved the interesting conversations we had with our tour guide and the great photos he shared with us. The San Antonio history in these bars was quite entertaining.
