We had an amazing time. The group size is small and the bars were great. Our guide clearly loves San Antonio and it’s history. He also gave great recommendations for other bars/restaurants/activities.

Emzy is an awesome dude to hang out with for a few hours. We really wish it was more hours. I plan on seeing him again our next visit to San Antonio or when we convince him to come to Nashville. Personality. Humor. History knowledge. Photos. Bar knowledge. Drink knowledge and so much more. Our tour was worth both the time and money. We highly recommend making this a part of your San Antonio adventure. I would recommend a longer stint with Emzy tho. 4 hours was just not long enough. Go for the whole day drinking adventure!

Emzy was so knowledgeable about the history of the Alamo and the surrounding area. I would do this tour ten more times just to get further into the history and details he has stored away in his mind.
