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.

Ben was a super guide - we couldn't believe it was only his 2nd time leading a tour of this area! He was very personable and told great stories of the history of the Gaslamp District. The restaurants we stopped at were all very accomodating and the food was very good. We especially liked to food and sangria at the Greek restaurant.

Hi Peggy! This is very exciting feedback! It's always a little concerning bringing on a new guide, but I'm happy to find that Ben is shining so quickly in the new position! -Bianca

Ben gave us a great tour of the gas lamp district. Although new to San Diego he had some great historical info. The food and drink is almost too much! Really great variety but I’m soooo full! Looking for a jumping off start to explore the gaslamp-take this tour to start off your weekend.
