Private Drunk History Tour

Super fun private “drunk” history tour! Host was super knowledgeable and kind. We enjoyed the tour so much!

EMZY is truly a historian. He took us to spots where history happened and showed us the photos...soooo much more fun than I ever expected!

Emzy has an encyclopaedic knowledge of San Antonio’s history and imparts it with the enthusiasm of a Labrador puppy. He is so interesting and engaging with his audience. On top of that we went to some great bars and had some fantastic cocktails. Highly recommended tour

Emzy’s knowledge is incredible! You can tell how much time he spends researching the history he shares.

An Amazing tour of San Antonio history, culture and libation! In 3 hours we barely scratched the surface of Emzy’s knowledge and “archives”! Truely passionate about San Antonio history. Thank you for sharing!

Highly recommend this tour. Emzy’s vast knowledge of local history and extensive random knowledge of everything else made the evening highly informational and lots of fun. He tailored the experience to make it truly personal for history buffs like us. We loved it.

The history was amazing- Enzy was so knowlegible- pleasant surprise was the history within the old hotels. Awesome!

The biggest problem with this tour is all six who went on it wanted to write a five star review! Even though the weather was cold, our guide Emzy took time to answer all our questions completely and with flair. We were impressed with his knowledge, research, documentation, and presentation. Due to his knowledge and courtesy, we would recommend this guide and this tour to anyone interested in learning about San Antonio! We hope to come again!

Emzy was very knowledgeable and an absolute delight. I learned so much about San Antonio. Highly recommend!

Emzy was a terrific host. Extremely knowledgeable and funny. He provided great information and context. The drinks were very good also. If you want to learn the history is San Antonio with a great tour guide and cocktails, take this tour.

Best history tour in San Antonio! Can’t beat having a beer and a behind scenes tours of the most historic places around! Emzy is amazing tour guide 💯 recommended!

We had an incredible time with Emzy as he took us through some historical places around Alamo Plaza. The Menger Hotel was beautiful and historic and its stories were amazing but I must say our favorite site was the St. Anthony hotel. Emzy is an entertaining guide with a wealth of knowledge from passionate research. He provides the stories, and can back each one up with photos and articles from the past. Truly fascinating stuff! And the cocktails were delicious!

Tour guide never showed despite me calling and texting. We waited 30 minutes before our scheduled time and 30 minutes after.

Awesome tour!! We Had such a great time with Emzy! So much fun and we learned alot about San Antonio and it's illustrious past. Would do it again just to hang out and listen to Emzy's stories!!

What fun! We had a wonderful time and learned so much about San Antonio! Our guide, Emzy, was great!

Emzy was fantastic! He had historical photos/documents that blew our minds!! One top of that, he has great relationships with the places he takes you. The history part?? If I had someone this cool sharing history with me in school I might have gotten better grades. Five stars is not enough, this was worth way more!

Having a tour guide that knows what he giving a tour on. Emzy knows his history! Great tour! The Menger Hotel was Best.

Emz is a virtual encyclopedia of historical facts about everything San Antonio! A great introductory tour of the city that helps you understand San Antonio and Texas history while enjoying some great libations. Highly recommend!

This was the highlight of our trip!! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and really fun!! He shared information we wouldn’t have heard on other experiences. The bars were lovely also!

A fun way to learn all about San Antonio history and culture. Emzy is a fantastic guide with a wealth of knowledge and excellent presentation skills. Such a fun afternoon and delicious cocktails to boot!

Absolutely fabulous tour! On top of learning so much about the history it was such fun! Bringing my sister and mom to do it again!

Had an amazing time. We learned a ton about San Antonio and it’s history, wasn’t quite what I expected, but still work every penny!

We had an amazing time. We learned some of the history of San Antonio, enjoyed some delicious cocktails, and the company couldn't have been better. It was a memorable evening. Thank you!

Our tour was wonderful. Emzy knows his history and loves to share it. He has a great passion for showing off San Antonio and it makes for a great tour. Definitely take his tour, you won't regret it. I love asking the local tour guides for recommendations because they know their city. And the drinks are great too!

Had the amazing opportunity to spend the evening with the incredible Emzy of @thebarwalk. We had the joy of doing his drunk history tour, 7 hours later I was basically inviting him to come back to nola with us. Absolutely wonderful, if you have a night free In San Antonio don’t miss your chance to learn the history while drinking around the city.

Excellent tour very knowledgeable about the Alamo and San Antonio. Loved the history about the bars. Ask about the blue book!!!

All of the wonderful reviews about this tour and about Emzy are so true. He is so knowledgeable, accommodating and made the tour so much fun! So if you are visiting San Antonio, don’t miss this tour!

Awesome experience and a great way to spend an afternoon in San Antonio. It was great to get to talk about the many interesting facts the make San Antonio unique.

Emzy was such an awesome host! As a history buff I really enjoyed his depth of knowledge and his drink recommendations were just as great. It truly felt like grabbing drinks with an old friend and we’d do the tour 100 times over! My wife is not into history as much as I am and she really enjoyed the tour as well. We plan to do the full tour soon!

Awesome tour. Very informative and interesting history facts. Enzyme was a fun host. The bars were excellent also!

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.

This tour was phenomenal, the tour guide's passion for the subject matter would get anyone excited about the history of San Antonio. I was Genuinely impressed and that was before the drinks, can't recommend it enough

We had a great time learning a few new things. We felt instantly that we had a friend showing us around their city. We wish he could show us around in every city.

Awesome tour with a very knowledgeable guide. Emzy has such a perfect personality and the knowledge he has of history was outstanding. Great fun and would do tour again!

Honestly this was probably the coolest experience that we’ve ever had as far as being on a tour in a new city!! We had no idea what we are getting ourselves into but it was so awesome, our tour guide Emzy was such a cool and fun guy to be around he had all the most interesting facts about San Antonio and we bar hopped around the city getting to know one another and had such a blast the entire night!! This is great for couples who love history, and just want to have an awesome time checking out bars they normally would not have if it wasn’t for this type of tour!! I would recommend taking us tour 100% even if we went back to San Antonio we would take this tour again LOL such a great night to remember!!!

Guide was very articulate and witty. The details helped us to acquaint the area with what we would have surely missed or the information would have lacked. Nice to talk with someone well versed in the area and its history.

We did the Straight Up tour and it and was absolutely fabulous. Emzy is a great host and guide, thoroughly answering any question you might have. Everywhere he takes you and everything he tells you about he can backup with research, photos, blueprints, newspaper articles etc. We learned so many things about the history of the Alamo and the Menger Hotel (among others) that you wouldn’t hear on another tour or read about on a plaque. The tour was very interactive and by the end of the night we felt well informed about the city, had had lots of laughs, and had made some new friends!!

This tour was amazing! Learned much that we didn't even imagine we would have ever known. The sights we saw were absolutely amazing. He digs for information and loves it. In turn we get to obtain so much knowledge about things in San Antonio. We will plan on telling friends, and also doing this again. Never know, maybe learn even more! The company was awesome too. Not to mention the bars we went into!!!!

I can't say enough good things about our tour with Emzy! My husband and I travel to San Antonio nearly every year, this was the first time we took a history tour while in town and we're so happy we picked this tour. Emzy greeted us in front of the Alamo as promised, as luck would have it we were the only two signed up for the tour that evening which meant we were treated to a private tour. Emzy is extremely knowledgeable about San Antonio, not only the history but also local happenings and hot spots. Our tour started with a bit of history on the Alamo then off to the Menger Bar where we grabbed a drink and embarked on a very interesting tour of the hotel. Emzy was prepared with visual aides and was happy to tell me some ghost stories once he learned I enjoyed those. Emzy informed us that the bar he normally takes guest to next would be busy because of an event but was happy to take us to another of his favorite spots. We obliged and are so happy we did the bar we ended up at was one of the best I've ever been to. We were able to grab a few drinks while learning more about the local history, and about Emzy's time working on the river. He is a great guide and an overall good person. We saw him at the bar a few nights later and he came by to say hello to us. We plan to take another of his tours while we're in San Antonio again next year!

Emzy was awesome. Really funny, really knowledgeable, and loves to geek out about the history of San Antonio. He has photos and floor plans from forever ago... he's like a History Detective. Knows very answer and was just awesome. This is a MUST MUST do if you come to San Antonio. It was just amazing!

Never knew San Antonio had such great history... lots of legends have passed through this town and Emzy sure knows how to bring it all to life and show you things you would have never noticed on your own. He took us to some really hidden bars that had Loads of history and a heavy pour. Great tour with great company.. thank you for the fun history lesson.

The tour guide, Emzy, was knowledgable and humorous- a great storyteller. He has spent many hours researching and had the pictures and newspaper clippings to back up every story he told. He was very accommodating to the needs of our group and checked on how we were doing often. I wished we had time to go on other tours that he offered.

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.

Emzy combines an engaging personality, passion for San Antonio history, and knowledge of excellent bars and restaurants to deliver a one-of-a-kind tour experience! It was our first event, on our first day, of our first visit to San Antonio and it set a high bar for the rest of our Thanksgiving weekend. We highly recommend the tour!

My husband and I were in town for a wedding, so we signed up for a few walking tours as we've never been in San Antonio before. Emzy was such a fantastic guide! He is so passionate and knowledgeable about the city's history. He has done so much of his own research into historical events and loves to share. We did the Straight Up tour and loved it.
