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, personalized, 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 afternoon of cocktails and conversation all things history in two of the most storied bars in Texas.
After meeting in Alamo plaza we head a few short blocks to Texas' oldest saloon which is home to one of the largest taxidermy collections in the world and Texas Ranger museum both of which we will explore drink in hand. ($22 value). We follow this up by belling up the same bar where Teddy Roosevelt recruited Rough Riders before exploring the oldest hotel in the west. Talk about a Texas Two Step!
