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.

I had forgotten to confirm my participation, but the company and my tourguide Ali were very accommodating and made sure I could still join. Ali did a fantastic job of providing an informative tour and at the same time creating an environment where the participants could get to know each other easily.

Ok Dana was amazing as our tour guide! She’s knowledgeable, very kind, easy to talk to. The history was awesome. The food was good too. Tacos, and pizza and potato deliciousness, oh my. The drinks were bad! When I’m on a food and booze tour I expect more than a shot of something. For $65 we should have gotten at least a glass of beer or a house margarita. The “samples” were not good. Oh and just a last note I don’t like chocolate for the dessert it would have been nice to have a choice of chocolate or vanilla for dessert (that’s small but still it would have been nice).

Hi there, Katelyn. Thank you for joining us on tour, and I'm super bummed to find that you were so disappointed with the drink samples. This is feedback that we don't usually get, so was it just the size of the samples you were disappointed about? -Bianca

Stephan was a great tour guide. We enjoyed the food and his very animated stories! We learned a bit about the city.
