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*.

Stephan…the most entertaining and engaging host. Really enjoyed his enthusiasm and knowledge of the area. Restaurant and food were good choices and we enjoyed each one.

Kirk was our tour guide and he was absolutely great! I was (and always am) the slow walker of the group. He purposely walked at my pace without me feeling like I was slowing down the group. All of the food was really good. I especially loved the sauce, and bought some, at the Greek fusion restaurant. My first time having fish tacos and boy were they delicious. Kirk was very knowledgeable about San Diego and the Gaslamp quarter and shared many insider/local tips and secrets. What interesting history! The tour was very laid back and I never felt rushed or hurried. Highly recommend!
