Super fun private “drunk” history tour! Host was super knowledgeable and kind. We enjoyed the tour so much!
Alan_W, Nov 2024
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!
amanda_w, Oct 2024
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
Sara_R, May 2024
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!
L_D, Apr 2024
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.
Kevin_K, Jan 2024
The history was amazing- Enzy was so knowlegible- pleasant surprise was the history within the old hotels.
Awesome!

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

Tour guide never showed despite me calling and texting. We waited 30 minutes before our scheduled time and 30 minutes after.
Response from Host, Feb 2022
James,
I can only say that I too am very disappointed that truly a perfect storm of unfortunate and unusual circumstances culminated in us not successfully rendezvousing. Circumstances including unscheduled construction in our meeting location, an inaccurate contact number on your reservation which rendered all my efforts to contact you before our start time to make alternative meeting arrangements (as I did successfully with the other couple on the same tour) as well as my efforts to offer you an opportunity to join another tour later that evening.
While I completely understand the level of frustration that led to this review I believe that after we were finally able to connect and discuss the situation that we both acknowledged that there was no malfeasance on either of our parts. While it was unfortunate, I believe that the totality of my reviews put our ill-fated experience in proper context without diminishing your perspective and disappointment.

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!!
Sabrina_L, Jan 2022
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!
Larry_S, Nov 2021
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!
Debi_S, Oct 2021
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!
Emily_L, Sep 2021
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!
Gail_R, Aug 2021
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!
Debra_W, Jun 2021
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!
Brian_S, May 2021
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.
Mills_B, May 2021
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!
Judy_F, May 2021
Awesome tour. Very informative and interesting history facts. Enzyme was a fun host. The bars were excellent also!
Melanie_C, May 2021
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.
Ted_D, Apr 2021
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!
Daniel_T, Apr 2021
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.
Julius_S, Apr 2021
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
AnnetteLoreen, Apr 2021
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.
Melissa_A, Mar 2021
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!
Memoree_C, Feb 2020
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!!!!
JERRY_M, Feb 2020
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.

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!
Mel_H, Aug 2019
Had a great time on our tour. I liked the small group which made it more personal. Emzy was very knowledgeable and well read on his craft.
