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.

After experiencing four days of non-stop rain during my time in San Diego, I went on a highly anticipated tour that I needed. Aparna, my fantastic guide, was knowledgeable about San Diego's past, and she also provided me with excellent recommendations for alternative tours since my whale watching excursion was cancelled. If you find yourself in San Diego, I highly recommend this tour!

We always take a tour in the cities we visit, so glad we chose this one. It gave us some fun history and includes some drinks and food. Everything was sample sizes, but everybody on the tour was full. I'm a vegetarian and they were able to accommodate. Our tour guide Aparna was great. She was funny and informative. Some tours we have taken leave you at the end not knowing where to go. We appreciated her directions on where the tour ended. We had a small group, which was nice. I highly recommend this tour.
