What You’ll Do
Bianca Jaime’s tour of downtown San Diego strips away the skyscrapers and takes you back to the city’s nascent days as a fledgling port town. Though the tour covers the history of the area’s brothels, saloons, and opium dens, the only debauchery here will be a few drinks consumed at local restaurants. The trek includes four stops at such establishments, each of which offers up miniature portions of their cuisine.
