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*.

I give this a great review because we did eat at some places we probably would not have stopped at otherwise. Our guide was enthusiastic but got some of the history scrambled which was amusing. We have been to San Diego many times and taken this tour previously especially for the walking and the new restaurants we stop at each time. Our favorite this trip was The Field an Irish pub where we had shepherds pie. We do not drink alcohol so the guide had non liquored beverages for us at each stop which was nice.

I guess it could have been worse. Our guide was late, didn't seem interested in giving the tour, and the food was not exciting. We received tidbits of information about gaslamp, red light district, brothels and that was it. At the end 1 couple just left. Not worth your money unless you like $50 pizza.

11am meeting. Our first stop at 11:45 across the street. Not even 30 minutes of information. Most of 45 minutes we waited for the other half of a party and a couple that had the wrong meeting place info. Quite a bit of food, beer at 3 stops. Guide knowledgeable but should have more info at first.
