This was awesome, Dana was fun and knowledgeable and accommodating. She also gave us insider tips on where to go and what to do, which was great as a tourist. It was a lot of fun.

This tour was very creatively done. Magic/Trickey and History combined. Our tour guide and owner Dana was amazing. I am still spinning my head and thinking, how she did those tricks. We walked through the Gaslamp District saw magic tricks performed and learned history too. The evening tour ends up at a magic club with a drink. It was amazing. Dana is very talented and comes from a long line of magicians. I highly recommend this tour! Lisa

Dana was an excellent guide with lots of stories ( many historical, many racy!) about San Diego and the Gaslamp District. And she's a top-notch magician, mystifying us at every stop. It was SO much fun! We lucked into a private tour (other folks canceled), and had a great time chatting with Dana between stops and after the tour - she's an amazing person! (A note to families: A lot of the (very entertaining) stories involve the red light district. Nothing explicit (PG, not PG-13), but if you take your kids, you might have to explain some terms!)
