Gaslamp Quarter
  • 1h 30m
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 area 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*.

Great experience, our tour guide Kayle was funny, interesting and very knowledgeable. The food stops and drinks were all great and the ice cream shop at the end was amazing! She knew some interesting facts about the brothels and we got into the restaurants immediately. She knows all the owners and they all came over and spoke to us. All the drinks complimented our food. It was a good small group of people and we all got along really well. I would definitely recommend this tour!
