“Great Trolley Ride”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 26, 2012 NEW

The San Diego Trolley is a great way of getting around San Diego. It was very informative. It was a hop-on hop-off style which suited us. More

“A lot of hype”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed May 25, 2012 NEW

I think this tour is way overpriced for what you actually get. We started the tour around lunch time and perhaps that was our first mistake. It was busy. We had planned to hop off and on throughout the tour to see more of the highlights, but after getting off at the maritime museum, and then going to a couple... More

The hotel provided a free shuttle to Old Town and then we boarded the trolley for the city tour. The advantage of this tour was the flexibility of time. The tour highlights 11 stops and you have the choice... More

“Good Way to Get Initial Overview of San Diego”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 23, 2012 NEW

We stopped in San Diego on a recent cruise and had only a limited time to see as much of San Diego as possible. We selected the Old Town Trolley Tour based on reviews we had read. Our only real disappointment was at the start of the tour. With 3 cruise ships in port there was a high demand for... More

“Great way to enjoy San Diego”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 22, 2012 NEW

We loved the Old Town Trolley! This is a great way to see San Diego, we spent time in Balboa Park, Coronado, Old Town, and the Seaport Village. The drivers are knowledgeable and very entertaining. Worth the price, and it's affordable. We will do this again! More

We really enjoyed this package. We only got a one day ticket, but two woudl have been better. Not enought time to see everything this way in a day, but it made stops in all the relevant places. Never too full to get on and always back up trolley cars to pick up extra passengers. The guides were quirky and... More
