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.

There wasn't much in the way of 'history' on this tour.. even with a small group it wasn't very informative. I took a Ghost Tour the next night that offered more 'actual historical information' about the buildings, brothels and it was a bigger group. The drinks and food were just ok... didn't fall in love with anything in particular. These tours are obviously influenced strongly by the guide.... ours was just 'average'.

The food and drinks were excellent and our guide was extremely knowledgable. She included alot of fun facts that made tour alot of fun. Definetly worth it.

We enjoyed this tour! The guide was VERY accommodating in that we were about 10 minutes late as we were driving in from out of town and they waited for us (we didn't know a game was going on that evening and parking was tough to say the least). We are also gluten free and our guide took care of us in that regard. We would have liked a little more history about San Diego and we felt the drinks were very watered down. But, all in all, I would still recommend it as it was fun, the food was good and we enjoyed learning about the city's sordid past.
