Private Drunk History Tour

Overview

There are a multitude of walking and ghost tours to choose from in San Antonio. Most of which are led by costumed guides, reciting scripts while herding 30 people like so many cattle through ubiquitous franchises.

I offer an alternative. A boutique, historical bar tour.

My name is Emzy. I've been sharing my hometown with guests for over twenty years and I invite you to join me for an evening of cocktails and conversation all things history in two of the most storied bars in Texas.

After a few minutes in Alamo Plaza we will belly up to the same bar where Teddy Roosevelt recruited many of the famed Rough Riders in 1898, drinks in hand we then explore the oldest hotel in the Texas followed with a second round at another nearby historic bar chosen on your taste.

Warm welcomes, prompt service, heavy pours, exclusive access, unparalleled research and personalized service await you on the ultimate way to truly discover San Antonio: past and present.

The Guide Emzy was a hoot and a wealth of knowledge. I did think the drink prices were a little high though.

Emzy was our guide and as there was just two of us he could tailor the tour information to meet our interest areas. We had already visited the Alamo and been on a bus tour of San Antonio so we had a reasonable level of knowledge of the history of San Antonio and Texas. Emzy demonstrated that he is extremely knowledgeable about the history of San Antonio and gave us some really interesting perspectives (backed up by historical photos and articles) that added to our understanding and experiences. We would recommend this tour to anyone that wants to get a deeper and richer perspective of the 300+ year history of San Antonio and its impact on both Texas and USA history.

This was an amazing tour with an amazing guide! We were the only two on the tour and it was far from the typical guided tour. MZ was very personable, knowledgeable on all aspects of history, and was well-known and liked throughout the San Antonio community. He utilized technology throughout the tour to show relevant images, videos, and proof of all the history being told. He was very interactive and fun and we loved spending time getting to know him and the city. The bars he took us to were also incredible- the atmosphere and the bartenders were awesome people. We highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to know more about San Antonio.
