Afternoon Food Tour - This is a good tour to be acquainted with the Gas Lamp quarter. You will be full by the end and will have a good idea of to do on your own. Lydia L from Sidewalk Tours was a great host and provided a brief history of the area, we also walked through Horton Grand Hotel. Our favorites were the Cuban restaurant and the Cali Cream at the end.

food and fun in the gaslamp district - Food tour was about 3+ hours. Suggest you skip breakfast or eat light beforehand. We went to three restaurants and then dessert. Food was delicious and we learned a lot about gaslamp restaurants. We had already been here a few days walking past various restaurants wondering what they were like. We even though we had visited restaurants on the block, each place was our first time. Tour guide Stephan was fun and informative. I learned about the history of the gaslamp, how the area has been changing and SD more broadly. Another couple was on the tour, we got along with them, and enjoyed the experience. Highly recommended

Unexpected Pleasure - We didn’t really know what to expect with regard to a sidewalk food tour. However, I want to tell you that we thoroughly enjoy ourselves. It made for a very interesting, informative, and not to mention tasty 😋 tour. Thank you, Stefan 🫡
