San Diego Gaslamp Quarter History Walking Tour

Step beneath the rooftop bars of downtown San Diego and into the rowdiest chapter of the city's past. This small-group Gaslamp Quarter history walk is led by a local storyteller who brings the notorious "Stingaree" red-light district back to life — from Wyatt Earp's gambling halls and the saloon where he ran his Oyster Bar, to madam Ida Bailey's scandalous Canary Cottage and the dramatic 1912 raid that shut it all down. You'll see the Gaslamp's best Victorian landmarks — the Louis Bank of Commerce, the 1882 Yuma Building, the Horton Grand Hotel where Earp lived, and the oldest house downtown — plus a photo stop at the iconic neon Gaslamp archway. With a relaxed pace, fresh anecdotes between every stop, and a loop that ends right where you began, it's the most entertaining way to experience historic San Diego.
