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.

Nice young lady did our tour. Total of 11 people. Learned some interesting history. Food & beer stops were good. If you stop at Meze (Greek fusion) be sure to try their homemade hot sauce (pomegranate based).

Kirk was an awesome tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about the city, and he gave great recommendations. My husband and I were running late and we were able to meet the group at the first stop and Kirk went over the information that we missed on the beginning of the tour.
