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.

Learning about how each brothel had its own unique theme was so cool. Our tour guide Angela was awesome. Food was fantastic.

Nice tour guide. But there was just not enough substance (history, education, story telling) to align with the promotional description of this tour. Food, though nice, did not relate to subject matter either. Tour would have been better with entrance to a couple of these historical places.

Hi Charles, I'm sorry you didn't find this tour suitable to your liking. May I ask who your guide was? The history in the Gaslamp is abundant, so it surprises me that you didn't experience much of it. I appreciate the feedback, and will be discussing this with our guides.
