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.

Hi Denise! Thank you for joining us on not just 1 tour, but 2! It's great to find that guests are interested in learning about different neighborhoods with us. The Little Italy wine tour is certainly more robust, but it's also a more expensive tour ($120 vs $75). I'm happy you enjoyed both!

Kirk was our guide for this fun afternoon experience. He was so friendly and took time to get to know each of his guests a bit. That was such a nice touch. He gave us an amusing history of the infamous Gas Lamp District, which we thoroughly enjoyed. As for the food, Greek fusion and the ice cream were my personal favorites. (The fish tacos not so much. Plus, the taco restaurant did not seem well-prepared for us.) All in all it was a great experience that my friends and I highly recommend!

Thanks for the great review! I'm happy to find that you had a great time with Kirk! I'll check in with the taco shop so that they are better prepared next time.
