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.

The tour was interesting, but the wait staff at all 4 stops didn't give us a chance to order an additional drink. There was time but the wait staff seemed busy elsewhere. We were strongly encouraged to tip at each stop....which was fine...but we didn't get a full beverage as a part of the tour and if you didn't like it, there was no opportunity to even get a water. Tour guide was knowledgeable and handled drunken street people well.

Excellent, personable tour guide - Kate. Small group, which was nice. A little disconcerting to be on a tour on a busy street which was loud and we were often "cut into" by non-tour folks walking through. Food was EXCELLENT, we returned to one of the restaurants for a great meal.
