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.

This was an interesting tour! The food and tour guide were good. It could be improved by either going to more historical sites, or actually seeing inside the places we talked about, or if the places are occupied and unavailable, it would be great to have historical pictures of the area.

Thank you for the feedback. At one point, we did have some historic photos in the form of a book. We haven't used them in quite some time. I'll have to look for them and hand them to the guides. Thanks again for joining us, and for the feedback. Glad you enjoyed it!
