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.

With these types of activities, the tour guide can make or break the amount of fun you have. Lucky for the dozen or so in our group, we had Ben. He is upbeat, super friendly and knowledgeable. There are 4 restaurants, each with different food samples. Again, Ben made it great.

Ben was a great tour guide! He did a great job of telling us the history of the area and about the food we sampled. Be advised that the tour consists of three small appetizers, three small drinks, and dessert.

I mean it was fine. Portions of the food was terribly small. Even smaller for the drinks. Didn’t learn a lot about history or anything like that. Definitely wouldn’t do it again.

Hi there! I'm sorry you had a "meh" experience on our tour. Of course, this would never be our intention. I'll check in with the guides to see if there is more specific feedback on how we can make the experience better. Thank you for the feedback. -Bianca
