What To Expect

Gaslamp Quarter

Often called the Historic Heart of San Diego, the Gaslamp Quarter is the main dining and entertainment district of the city. With more than 150 bars and restaurants and 94 registered historic buildings, this nightlife playground has a lot to see and do, as well as a fascinating past. The Brothels, Bites and Booze tour will introduce you to the beginnings of San Diego as a port town – learn why it became one of the more notorious red light districts of its time, and find out how this once-undesired neighborhood became a fun and vibrant nightlife destination for both locals and visitors. After meeting your guide, you’ll embark on a journey of scandalous tales, unique cocktails and local cuisine. On the tour, you’ll make new friends, hear interesting stories, sing karaoke and explore new tastes at local restaurants*.

Cancellation Policy

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Fun, enjoyed the talk and most of the food. Not as fond of the last stop with the French fries, but overall a good time and value.

Thanks for the feedback! The French fries we serve are a staple San Diego food loaded with carne asada, cheese, and salsa Mexicana. We are bummed you weren’t fond of them, but good to know you liked the other elements of the tour!

Aparna was amazing!!! I was late due to traffic. My friends got lost too. I assumed the tour would leave without us. Aparna called asking why we were late then asked how she could help. She managed to find my friends on the streets and bring them to the meeting place. Then she made sure to text updates about their locations during the tour. I finally made it! Aparna shared allot of cool stories with humor and energy. If you get Apartna as your tour guide then her story alone is worth listening too. For the rest.. the food and drinks were amazing! All 3 of us had an awesome time. The staff everywhere took good care. This tour was a great value.
