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

I was tagging along on a business trip with my husband. I had a day or two on my own to expore and see all that San Deigo has to offer. I decided to take the Old Town Trolley to get around. Picked it up at Gaslamp and had a fantastic couple of days! Got a good history of the... more

This absolutely made our trip! We started out in Old Town, and easily found parking. We had purchased our tickets online, so just had to get the sticker and tickets once we got there. We went on the trolley for 2 days. I have never been to San Diego before this so we thought yes it is a bit pricy,... more

This is a basic tour on a "trolley bus" (a small bus that's shaped like a trolley, with narrow benches). It takes you around San Diego in 2 hours and 10 stops. You can get off and on at any stop, but the trolley buses will come only about every 30 minutes or so. They go in a single loop,... more

This is by far the best tour in California. It was recommended to us at the harbor visitor's center and I was so glad we picked this one. I didnt want to do this one at first because of some reviews here saying that the seats are hard and there is no AC. First of all, the seats are well... more

Expensive but fun trip on Old Town Trolley. It's a long trip - 2 hours around the entire loop but you get on/off privileges. Lots to do - can be exhausting. Great way to help you get your bearings in San Diego. Coronado stop is particulary busy and not much to do especially for kids. We had fun and would... more
