TOUR DESCRIPTION
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the San Diego Gaslamp Historical Walking Tour. Our travels cover San Diego’s downtown Gaslamp development from the 1850s to about 1915. From the old Wild West, with saloons, gambling halls, opium dens and brothels, we’ll take you there. We want your experience to be fun, educational, and entertaining. If you enjoy history, the bizarre, obscure and off the beaten path places, will take you there. On our tour you will learn:
- Where Wyatt Earp lived, gambled, and drank
- San Diego’s 1st bizarre zoo downtown
- The secrets of the glass marble exchange
- A German spy hideout
- The Death Museum of the past in a likely location
- Canine celebrities
- Tanglefoot, a popular drink with a sinister outcome
- How a police officer got his nose bitten off
- The Deadline St and what that mean
- Doctor Painless, the PT Barnum of dentists
- The oldest building downtown and why people were dying to get in
- The Chinatown of downtown
- The notorious/infamous Tub of Blood & the Seven Buckets of Blood
- The scandalous stables, bullpens, and cribs
- AND MORE AS WE VISIT ALMOST 40 LOCATIONS!
Bring your walking shoes as we experience the sights of historical buildings of the past. You will walk approximately a 1 mile and 1/2 over a two-hour period. This is a historical tour, NOT A HAUNTED TOUR. Join our nighttime Haunted Tours for a different perspective.
