Food Tour with Variety - This tour included five food stops and highlighted the variety of cuisines in the Gaslamp Quarter. There were only two of us on the tour, so there was a lot of food! We were able to take the Thai leftovers with us; the rest wouldn’t have travelled well. Along the way, Stefan shared the history of the Gaslamp Quarter and its more recent revitalization.

Excellent choice for spending a few hours in downtown San Diego - Our guide (Noah) was an excellent host, providing interesting history bits of the Gaslamp Quarter as well as information about the restaurants and dishes. The choice of restaurants was great. I was not dissatisfied with any of them. There was a perfect variety of dishes, and the portion sizes left us very satisfied and not bloated. I would highly recommend this tour.

The Inside Scoop on the Gaslamp District - Started with outstanding bagels and spreads, then three different ethnic restaurants and ending with homemade ice cream. Throughout the tour our guide Stefan gave us an entertaining history of the Gaslamp District and San Diego itself. He also was willing to give us tips on restaurants during our stay. It was obvious that he loves his jobs and the restaurants on the tour by the way they greeted him at each place. Would recommend this tour without hesitation!

Gaslamp area 5 stop historic food dining. - Lydia L was right on top of everything pre-ordering the food before we get to the places. She also knew the historical background of a lot of the buildings that we were going by during the sightseeing portions. She is a very pleasant person to lead these tours

Great tour of the Gaslamp Quarter - Great tour! Stephan was great with the history of San Diego and the Gaslamp Quarter. Very entertaining and all the food was very good. And restaurant staff was very engaging as well. We were a small group, just us lol so we got personalized attention. We did this on second day and glad we did because Stephan gave us a lot of recommendations for food and areas to visit based on our interests.

- I’ve lived in San Diego for over 45 years and really enjoyed this food tour with my relatives from out of town. Aja was a great guide and shared many things about my city I didn’t know. She was a great tour guide, interesting and personable. The food was good, I will say nothing was remarkable, but all was good.
