Guide, Emzy, was incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the history of the area, had more photos then the National Archives to show and discuss.
Had a great time!!!

Emzy was so knowledgeable and knew so much history about San Antonio, whether it be music, architecture or just stories that “no one knows”. My husband, daughter (early 20s) and I all enjoyed spending time with Emzy on this “private” tour. He made it so comfortable and customized the tour to our interests. His ability to pull pictures up on his tablet to enhance his stories was amazing. Highly recommended!!!
Very knowledgeable and we...

Very knowledgeable and we loved the history. Great info with research into fact finding. Told us to visit SoHo Bar and Winery to get a taste of San Antonio. Took a LYFT there and there was a sign that said they were closed for business.
Best tour of the Alamo around!

Emzy is one of the best tour guides we’ve met. His depth of knowledge and passion for his topic is captivating. Combined with his personality and great sense of humor made for a wonderful and memorable day.
