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.

Katie, was a great guide. She explained historic and fun facts about the Gaslamp district while stopping in four different locations where we tested food and drinks. I would do the tour again, it was fun and the food was really good.

Our guide was great. She shared lots of history of this district with us and she was attentive to the group. I was with a senior lady friend who needed to skip a few stops and meet us ahead and that was easily worked out while we were on the tour. The food samples seems somewhat random though delicious the New York pizza didn't seem to fit the theme of the tour, the drinks were great and the history of Gaslamp was fascinating. I recommend taking this tour early in your stay so that you can get some tips on where to eat and drink. I wish I had known about the Greek fusion place earlier in my stay.
