“This was not only the best night of our trip but the best tour we’ve ever gone on…and we’ve done lot’s of tours! Emzy was fun and laid back but also incredibly knowledgable and so experienced. It was just like hanging out with smart longtime friend you never knew you had till a few drinks.”

The Straight Up
2.5 -3 Hours / 2 Bars
$225 for groups up to 6
My most popular route. We will meet in Alamo Plaza for a discussion of all things Alamo, past, present and future before we head to the Menger Hotel where you’ll belly up to the same bar that Teddy Roosevelt did when he recruited Rough Riders in May of 1898. Drinks in hand we will explore the historic and reportedly haunted hotel that has hosted everyone from Robert E Lee, Ulysses Grant, Oscar Wilde, Elizabeth Taylor and James Dean.We follow that up with a second historic bar and storytelling tailored to your interests.

The Classic
5+ Hours / 4 Bars
$400 for groups up to 6
The full and original Barwalk Tour Experience. 4 bars, often 5-6 hours.
The culmination of my 25 years of researching, living and guiding.
From the Alamo, riverwalk history, true crime, brewery history, celebrity connections, Spanish, Mexican and Republic of Texas, San Antonio’s red light district, Teddy Roosevelt’s time in San Antonio and perhaps even a ghost story or two.
This is a full evening of storytelling, libations, laughs and honestly some of my favorite memories have been made on this route.
Give the gift of good times…
The ultimate gift. A memorable night of epically good times while discovering San Antonio on your own Barwalk Tour. Your adventure awaits.
