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.

This culinary tour exceeded our expectations! Every single thing we ate and drank was incredible. If you're able to, do the tour with Stefan- he's a local, very funny, knowledgable, and obviously loves his job. Would not miss this tour!! Plus an opportunity to explore the Gaslamp District!

Would highly recommend this tour, especially with Stefan as your guide! My husband, myself, and two of our friends chose this tour because we love to eat and drink, and we were more than pleased. The food was incredible with bigger portions than expected, and all the drinks were great. Everyone was so nice, and Stefan provided us with some cool history as well as recommendations for where to go afterwards. Would definitely do set aside a night to do this! We would for sure go again!
