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.

Amanda our tour guide was wonderful. She enhanced out tour by telling us wonderful details about the Gas Lamp district's past and present. The food we ate was delicious and the beverages were delicious. The Greek Sangria was new to us and really good fun to try. I highly recommend this tour.

A great way to start any trip to San Diego! You get to learn about the shadier past of San Diego...PLUS, eat and drink along the way. Stefan was our guide....he was a little bit (maybe a lot) crazy! And, he was enthusiastic and fun! Super guide! We got to hop around to different restaurants and try our their specialities along with a really yummy drink! So Diego Tours did a great job with the tour (Stefan too!) and we loved the stops along the way. Oh, and we got to finish with dessert....macarons! YUM!
