Top Experiences in Buckhorn Saloon & Museum

Perhaps one of my reviews says it best: "Taking The Barwalk with Emzy is like visiting an old friend in his hometown and having him show you around."

No scripts, no PA's and no costumes, just warm welcomes, prompt service and heavy pours await us as you leave the large groups of kitschy tours behind and enjoy the ultimate insider way to discover the absolute best of San Antonio.

From the Alamo, the oldest saloon in Texas and the oldest continually operated hotel in the west you'll skip the ubiquitous franchises and follow in the footsteps of legends. Less of a regimented, memorized tour and more of a conversation you'll learn about everything from the Alamo, grisly unsolved murders, pop culture connections and the "seedier" side of and enjoy unrivaled historical research in a truly magical night all washed down with the best cocktails anywhere.

Food & beverages not included

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!
