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 was in town for a conference so only had limited hours free to check out the city. This was a great way to get a feel for the Gaslamp District and try out the local restaurants. I was solo on this trip so it allowed me to go out and about with a group, meet some fun people and have a good time. Our guide- I think her name was Ashley? originally from NJ, was really knowledgable and friendly. This is perfect if you are solo, couple or with a group of friends.

Met up with guide Allie. There were 6 in our group. History was interesting. Four stops (3 drinks, 3 food and a dessert.) Allie was great, friendly and knowledgeable. I would suggest others try it.

I'm so happy you had a good time with Ali! She is one of our newest members, so it's so nice to find that she's not only having a great time, but that her hard work and practice is paying off in good reviews. There is nothing like waking up to a good review for a job well done! -Bianca
