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'm not one for "museum" type activities. But this was the perfect mix of fun, culture and history for me. I loved that we got to experience each unique bar/restaurant and the reservations and food was already taken care of for us. The information was interesting and I learned so much about a city I have been visiting for over 30 years.

Thank you for your feedback. A historic lesson is always better when it's intermingled with food, drink and friends! ;)

So much fun! Amy was our tour guide and she has such a great personality. The food was amazing! The knowledge of her town was great and interesting. There was a couple from San Diego that didn’t know half the info that Amy told us. Food was from different origins and the drinks were just as tasty. Our group were from all over and all were great to walk around with. So it doesn’t matter if you are from the area, here for vacation, or for business, this is a great little date activity for all.
