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.

We were looking for unique experience and our guide made efforts to entertain us, but food was below average and far away from unique San Diego signature food. Just wasting of money.

Hi there. I'm sorry you didn't find this tour up to par with your expectations. The idea of the tour is to introduce you to the history of the Gaslamp Quarter while sampling food at a few of the local venues. San Diego is a melting pot of foods from around the world, and while we do have stories for every dish we serve, they might not be specific to the area. I'm sorry there was that misunderstanding.
