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.

Our tour guide Aparna was fantastic and made the tour so enjoyable. The food was just so so. 1st food and ice cream was good but other 2 stops really not great. Greek restaurant served cheese quesadillas???

Thanks for joining us! We are happy to find that our newest guide, Aparna made an impression on you. Sorry to find that you were not so happy with the restaurants. Meze, our Greek restaurant partner, is known for their fusion items, and they serve a Greek quesadilla with gyro meat and roasted veggies on a pita, so it's unique to that stop.

Husband, dad and I had a great time with Kirk on this tour. Loved the humour and interesting information. Great variety of different bites and drinks. The walking is not difficult and had seating for those who needed a rest (although our group had no difficulties). Timing was just about right for not feeling over full or over walked and thankfully had a nice temperature outside to enjoy ourselves.
