Great time with Raoul! I especially liked the unique drinks. Plenty of food altogether. Ice cream at the end was great!

So much fun! We had a group of nice people who felt like friends after a while even though we were all strangers at first. We savored delicious food samples with plenty of time to enjoy and also have tasty drinks. We also learned a lot of the history of the brothels and the people and even architecture of the Gaslamp. We finished the tour with wonderful home made ice cream. Raul is a wonderful, kind guide! Highly recommended.

The guide Raul was very good and entertaining. However, the food and drink was horrible. The highlight of the evening was the ice cream. I would rather roam around the GasLamp district and find a good restaurant to have a nice dinner it would have been cheaper and better. Very disappointed. Been to many "foodie" tours and this was by far the worst of the worst!!
