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 loved this tour! Great food and drinks to try, covered a variety of types. Very accommodating to my sisters dietary needs (no dairy) which was fantastic. The tour guide was very informative, spoke loud and clear, and was so kind! Tour guide was fantastic to spend the time with and really made the group feel welcome. It was a great experience!

Very cool area within downtown San Diego-definitely the heartbeat of the area. Super cool restaurants and shops in a well lit and clean area across from the convention center. Great area to walk around and hang out.

I'm so glad you got to hang out with us in the Gaslamp Quarter. It's such a fun area, but I think it's so much more fun when you hang out with one of our local guides! ;) Thank you for joining us! -Bianca

We took the 11am Friday tour. Our guide, Kirk, was entertaining, engaging, and informative. There were 4 stops, 3 of which also provided adult beverages. A fun way to learn about the history of San Diego and the Gaslamp District. Would absolutely take this tour again.
