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.

Amy was a really good and extremely personable guide. The history of the area was interesting and just enough. She also had great recommendations for other activities. Very enjoyable evening.

My sister and I drove to San Diego from Albuquerque to attend my daughter's Navy promotion ceremony. We booked this tour last minute when we discovered we'd have some free time. Kirk was an amazing and informative guide who genuinely cares about your experience. He can answer any question while walking backwards uphill navigating traffic without looking and still get you to your destination. The locations, priority seating, food and drinks are all top notch. I was so full from the "bites" at lunch I barely snacked for dinner (plus you can order your own extra food, drinks or souvenirs at each stop). I'm still dreaming about Greek sangria & boozy ice cream. I would take this tour again and highly recommend!
