Delve into a truly unusual museum experience at the Buckhorn Saloon & Museum and Texas Ranger Museum. Located only two blocks from the Alamo, the Buckhorn exhibits an astounding collection of taxidermy animals, western-flavored Americana, impressive antler racks, and much more. In the same building, the Texas Ranger Museum features historic artifacts from the famed Texas law enforcement division and Ranger Town, a replica of San Antonio in the 1900s. You can even bring a purchased drink from the saloon into the museum.

"Our UNESCO Missions Heritage Stories reveal the authentic cultural fusion and colonial mysteries spanning 300 years that no other tour uncovers. With 15+ years of deep local research, we share the real stories behind each World Heritage site - from 88-year-old Friar Olivares' founding vision to indigenous artisan Pedro Huizar's rose window love story to the complex cultural negotiations that created something entirely new at each mission. This intimate small group experience allows us to explain original frescoes, hidden symbols, and cultural survival strategies while connecting dots between Spanish colonial ambitions and indigenous adaptation. Discover why Mission Concepción remains unrestored, how Mission San José became the 'Queen,' and the agricultural innovations at Mission San Juan that sustained four missions. This is cultural immersion with San Antonio's premier heritage storyteller - not basic mission touring."

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. Imagine having an old friend who has spent their entire professional life researching their home show you around all washed down with craft cocktails. My name is Emzy. I've been researching and guiding guests around my hometown professionally for twenty plus years. Most over them washed down with craft cocktails, it's been a blessed life. While I have had many magical moments with guests over the years, I've also spent hundreds of hours in the archives and libraries for proof of the history I share on tour. I believe that passion shows. I invite you to join me for an evening of drinks and conversation of all things history in two of the most storied bars in Texas. Join me and Drink up the history!

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.
