We caught the shuttle service from outside our hotel on the hotel circle to Old Town which was great as we did not have any transport. We had a 1 day hop on hop off ticket however would recommend if this is you only means of transport that 1 day is not enough. We got off at the USS Midway... More

This was our first visit to San Diego. We used the 1 day Trolley pass and had a great time just riding the Old Town Trolley. The drivers were informative and entertaining. They provided us with colorful history as we rode through the City. Fortunately one of the stops was adjacent to our hotel which was a plus for us.... More

This is a pretty nice tour of the city overall. However, if you are going to stop at one location for more than an hour or so I'm not sure I'd recommend it. We stopped at the U.S.S. Midway for about 2 1/2 hours. Then walked to the next stop which is about 10 - 15 minutes walk. Then waited... More

This is a great way to see the sights in San Diego especially if you are in Old Town San Diego. The tour takes about 3 hours and is well worth it.

It may not always be easy to find the home base of the trolley tours in the Old Town area of San Diego, but the tour itself is quite informative and, I think, give you a good sense of the area. My wife and I really enjoyed it. Now you do have to tolerate the Old Town Trolley Tours shtick... More

This tour is really fun and memorable! The drivers/tour guides made it fun for us! At first, their animations and way of talking made us feel we were kids, but as we got used to the presentations and the narration and the music and the singing, we ended up loving the tour and especially the drivers. The trolleys were on... More
