Additional Information

Here’s a review that says it all: ‘Exploring The Barwalk with Emzy feels like meeting an old friend and them showing you their hometown.’

Scripts, PA systems, and fancy costumes aren’t part of the deal, instead, you’ll be met with friendly faces, efficient service, and generous drinks. You can forget about the overcrowded, cliched tour groups and experience the most authentic journey through San Antonio’s offerings.

From the historical relics like the Alamo, the most aged saloon in Texas, and the continuously operational, oldest hotel in the west, you’ll bypass the typical franchises and trace the path of iconic figures. It’s less of a stereotypical, rehearsed tour, and more of a dynamic conversation that unfolds the city’s rich history, unresolved mysteries, connections with pop culture, and the ‘darker’ shades of it- all garnished with unrivaled historical research, creating a magical experience accompanied with top-notch cocktails.

Please note, food and drinks expenses are not covered.

Location
Alamo Plaza
We will meet in Alamo Plaza at the base of the large white monument (Alamo Cenotaph). Your guide will be in a black t-shirt that reads "Drink up the History!" on the front and will be wearing a blue messenger bag.

Seattleites in San Antonio - 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.

Great night to see the history of the town. - 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.

A definite highlight of our time in San Antonio! - 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!!

Awesome - 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.

Awesome tour - 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.
