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!

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!
