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 a nice tour. Some of the history provided is questionable. However, I took this tour for the food. We had some Greek, Irish, Mexican and finished up with French pastries. All of the food was delicious and was paired with an adult beverage, minus the pastry stop. If you are looking for a history story, might think twice. If you are just looking for a good time and enjoy a variety of food, this is your trip.

Our guide was very personable and told some great stories about the Gaslight district of San Diego. The amount of food was just right, and very delicious. Only thing I might recommend is a portable microphone and speaker!

Tour was great! Our Tour Guide, Ben (I think, he is semi-new to the team from San Fran and is big into Health/Food Science), was very personable and was great at getting the group together to talk and meet each other (always love meeting people)! Food and drinks were all amazing. It happened to pour down rain in the middle of the tour, but somehow it didn't put a damper on the experience! Would definitely recommend again.
