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.

So, I did this tour yesterday. Did it by myself because it was a gift and didn't know what to expect. Mark was funny and knowledgeable and very hospitable. There were two other groups with me and everybody was welcoming. The food was fabulous and the drinks paired well. I would definitely recommend this to others.!

Our guide was fun and shared a lot of interesting information about the city. It was a great way to see the sights on foot.

Took the tour on the evening of a Padres game, streets and pubs full of celebrating fans. Would have been an intimidating task even to navigate to a bar for a beer, no to mention visiting several places, taking photographs and tasting different things - all on you own. With the help of our guide Amanda, this was a pleasant experience! She was very knowledgeable about the history of the quarter, the anecdotes as well as info about modern day S.D. Very entertaining and friendly, too. We entered 4 places, it is for tasting food and drink, not for a full dinner (although I did not need any afterwards). The booze-tasting will allow you to drive afterwards, although the high number of Uber drivers in SD won't make that necessary. Btw, the tour starts at the Gaslamp Quarter gate which is located at the southern end of 5th Av.
