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.

If you enjoy sampling various drinks and eats from different restaurants in the Gas Lamp area you will enjoy this tour. Takes about 2.5 hours......but you will enjoy the eats and drinks while walking the area and learning some of its history. We also met some other fun and interesting visitors during this trip. Especially fun for couples to do.

This tour was highly entertaining and awesome because of our host Dana. She was knowledgeable and fun and she really went above and beyond to make sure I was ok and taken care of because I was alone. She is the reason the tour was one of the best in San Diego I experienced because it was so personable and she took the time to interact with the group. She had a great energy and passion and that helped make the experience so much more enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour.
