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*.

Loved this tour, the group is intentionally capped at 15 so that it's not overwhelming. Amy was a phenomenal host and gave us a ton of cool information about the area. At each stop you get a sample of the food AND a drink which was so awesome everything was delicious and they are accommodating to allergies/dietary restrictions. One thing I think would improve the tour is if the portion sizes are larger but it is called, "Brothels, BITES, and Booze" so that's on me for not having a snack before I left the house so I wouldn't be hungry afterward. But honestly, even if you are hungry afterward you're in the perfect part of town to try another great restaurant or go back to one of the spots on the tour. Definitely recommend this tour if you're in town!
