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.

Great tour, good food and very interesting; Amanda is amazing. Only criticism is that portions are a bit small.

Thank you for the nice review. We are currently working on the sizes of some of the samples without increasing the price of the tour. Thanks for your feedback! -Bianca

A great way to explore the Gaslamp Quarter! My tour was four stops: three food places and one dessert place. The food stops also included an alcoholic drink taster. I felt like it was enough food and wasn’t left hungry at the end. Between food places, our tour guide Dana entertained us with stories and pointed out historic places. Dana was awesome and also suggested a couple places to check out after the tour. It was a lot of fun and I highly recommend it!
