Perhaps one of my reviews says it best: "Taking The Barwalk with Emzy is like visiting an old friend in his hometown and having him show you around."
No scripts, no PA's and no costumes, just warm welcomes, prompt service and heavy pours await us as you leave the large groups of kitschy tours behind and enjoy the ultimate insider way to discover the absolute best of San Antonio.
From the Alamo, the oldest saloon in Texas and the oldest continually operated hotel in the west you'll skip the ubiquitous franchises and follow in the footsteps of legends. Less of a regimented, memorized tour and more of a conversation you'll learn about everything from the Alamo, grisly unsolved murders, pop culture connections and the "seedier" side of and enjoy unrivaled historical research in a truly magical night all washed down with the best cocktails anywhere.

5.00Really, 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.

5.00Was 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!

5.00History, 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

5.00Best 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

5.00We 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.
