This is my second trolley tour. . .the last one eight years ago. It is the only way to see San Diego. This time I had my husband and two of the eight grandkids. The ability to get off and on throughout the day was great. We all saw what we wanted to see. The drivers are fun and knowledgeable... more

This is a great way to tour the city, see some sights, and address my own interests at my own pace. The guides were very cordial and highly informative. I was particulary impressed with one guide (I missed his name) who had to diplomatically deal with a client who insisted on speaking on her cell phone during the tour, and... more

We took the Old Town Trolley Tour of San Diego, October 27, 2009. The person in the ticket booth SMILED at me when I walked up with my white piece of paper in hand. He knew exactly what it was, my ticket I had printed at home in Carson City, Nev. How nice, he knew what to do. The tour... more

Our administrative staff went on the tour as part of our annual R & R event, and had a great time. The Old Town Trolley Company's employees are friendly, courteous, and wonderful ambassadors of San Diego! Several of us are residents of San Diego and have Hometown Passes. Highly recommend it (both the pass and the tour) for San Diego... more

this trolley bus gives you a good overall view of San Diego and allows you the chance to choose where you will spend the time. Unfortunately not all the other travellers on the trips are considerate enough to leave their mobile phones alone nor stop chatting amongst themselves. I think the two drivers who were desperately trying to give us... more

Pick the trolley up in Old Town if you are driving. They have free parking right across from the station. The trolley drivers were very knowledgeable and interactive. The tours are very organized. more

Was considering a conventional bus tour but decided on this instead. It was great and got to visit many of the attractions on our own time. It drops you off and you look around and then just hop back on. The drivers are well educated on the attractions and will tell you lots about them. It visted the Harbor, downtown,... more

This tour was about what we expected given we have done similar tours in other cities around the world. The guide we had for most of the tour RJ was keeping on a happy face under challenging conditions and provided a good tour. This is a good way to get the "lay of the land" regarding the tourist hot spots.... more

Some good, some bad. One important thing to know is that even though they advertise the trolleys running until 7:00 p.m., the last pick up time is around 4:30 p.m.-meaning you have to get picked up at the last destination by 4:30 p.m., and if you miss the trolley, you have to cab it back to your car. This really... more

This is definitely worth the money! If you stay on the trolley, it's a 2-hour tour of San Diego. Start this early enough in the day and you can get on and off at the various well-placed stops along the way and really get a great tour of San Diego. more
