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.

Fun time! Food was very good. Not heavy on brothel stories, but interesting. Tour lasted almost 3 full hours

Thanks for joining us, and for the feedback. We will chat with your guide, because the seedy history and scandalous stories in the area are abundant!

Very entertaining, informative and tasty. It took us four hours to visit all planned places by our awesome Stephan guide.

I'm glad to find that you had a great time with Stefan! 4 hours is quite a long time, but I know Stefan knows how to read the guests, and goes above and beyond to show them a great time.

We loved visiting with strangers over food and drink. All of the food items were delicious. Portions were small enough to enjoy without weighing us down for the walking part.

No such thing as "stranger danger" on our tours. ;) We love that most of our tour-goers find something in common with complete strangers, and sometimes end up spending more time after the tour with them. That's amazing!
