★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 786 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $94Our pick

Walk San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter with guides such as Blerta, Magda, or Benedict, stopping for food, cocktails, beer, mocktails, and dessert. Hear stories of brothels and Prohibition, visit several local eateries, and finish with a better sense of where to eat and drink.

“When one tour was cancelled, the company invited us to switch to a different tour. They sent us the outline and description for the new tour and we agreed to switch. The new tour was NOTHING like the description they sent and we felt like it was a bait and switch situation. We sent a note outlining why we didn't like the tour we were switched to (didn't match the description we were sent) and were told someone from their management team would contact us. 5 days later ~ we have not heard from them.”

“Of all the wine tour options, I'm glad we picked this one. Mario was awesome. He picked me and my four friends up at our hotel and curated a great day for us. We had a private tour which was great.
