Entertainment & Activities
It's a 4-5 hour walking tour of San Antonio where you stop at several old bars that have a bunch of history with them. The guide's name is Emzy and he probably knows more about San Antonio history than any person in San Antonio. He also knows a ton of the crazy history and stories you won't read in history books. He limits his tour to no more than 6 people to keep it intimate.
