Brothels, Bites and Booze: A Culinary Tour of San Diego's Questionable Past

Stephan,our guide, was energetic, informative and knowledgeable about the history of San Diego, not just the brothels , but also the early history of San Diego .We took the trolley near our hotel and the tour began and ended pretty close to the station in the Gaslamp district. He made a conscience effort to create an atmosphere of comradery among all the people on the tour. The food and drink at each of the four restaurants we visited gave a good overview of the different types of foods and drinks available in the area. It was a fun way to experience this area of San Diego!

Our guide, Stephan. was entertaining, knowledgeable, and friendly. The restaurants and bars we visited were varied and the food and drinks were great. I would definitely recommend this fun tour.

Everything was very well done. Really enjoyed our guide's knowledge and friendliness. Learned a lot about the San Diego history and food/drink scene.

This was a great way to pass an evening, get an overview of the neighborhood and sample 4 great eateries. Stephan was an enthusiastic guide and made sure everyone in our group had a great time.

This was a fun tour. Our guide Stephen was a lot of fun and was very knowledgeable. As we walked along learning about the history of the brothels we stopped at various restaurants where we enjoyed food samples and drinks. We were with a great group of people and had a really good time. I would suggest this tour to anyone that wants to visit the Gaslamp Quarters and have a fun filled evening.

It was a fun walking tour of the Gaslamp district. Edwin was outstanding as our guide and storyteller. He was pleasant and knowledgeable of the area and San Diego as a whole. Each of our stops gave us quality food that is a good indicator of their fare. I would recommend this tour to everyone who visits or lives in San Diego whom would like to sample and learn what the best of the Gaslamp District has to offer.

Great tour our guide was very good and funny

The guide Stefan was excellent - really enthusiastic and great presentation. The first food stop Meze was equally as good. Unfortunately, the other food stops weren't that special - I've done similar tours in other cities and wanted to go back to all the restaurants. This was not the case here. Despite this, it was a very enjoyable evening.

Fun and Amanda did a good job of telling us about some of the history of the Gaslamp district but should have known that it is called the Gaslamp district for the original gas lamps! The food was tasty and the drinks good. The Greek place Meze was the best and I usually do not like Greek food and my wife liked the drink there. A nice walking tour through the area

Excellent. Lots of fun, plenty of food and drinks.
