Overview

This walking tour in San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter explores the area's darker past, formerly known as the Stingaree. The tour lasts about 90 minutes and is led by a guide who recounts true crime stories from different time periods. Participants will hear about a ghost said to haunt a historic hotel room, then move to the 1920s era, learn about the third victim of a local serial killer from over a decade later, and finally hear about the most severe crime that occurred in downtown San Diego. The guide shares graphic details involving assault, rape, and murder, so the tour is not recommended for children under 13. The tour includes a guided walking experience through several key locations in the Gaslamp Quarter and Chinatown.
