We went to Old Town on two days as there is so much to see. The Mormon Battalion is a must see! They have an excellent multi-media presentation, and this tour is free. I was so impressed with the tour that I gave a donation. There is a Victorian village, many good restaurants, and much more.

We left out into the 1 hour free walking tour. It's only held on Fridays and Saturdays from 11:00 to noon. It was really informative and we were able to see parts of Old Town that we would not otherwise have been able to. I really like Old Town not only to buy tchotchke's, but to see the way people lived a couple hundred years ago. The walking tour really made it come to life.

Great place to visit to see how San Diego was in the early 1800's, with some authentic relics from that era. Well stocked shops offering interesting goods with a Mexican feel. We were there a couple of hours only and could have spent longer to do the evening ghost walks etc.

If you like tourists and tourists shops. The old buildings were cool, but 90% of them sell typical tourist shlock. A few good restaurants. Not much close by parking. Nearby lot holds 100-120 cars, and is free for up to 4 hours which is great, but all spaces are full by 11AM and a dozen cars are circling, circling, looking for a spot, which is kind of counterproductive. Maybe charge a small fee to park there? Shorter limits? "Free" fresh tortilla sample requires a tip before you get the delicious free tortilla.

A large and FREE park (and free parking) to learn about San Diego's history. Be sure to stop first at the visitors center at the Robinson Rose House for a map and park info. We went on the walking tour that departs there at 11:00a. It was a 45 minute tour of history of old town and a good way to start our day and figure out what to explore.

In concept a great place to visit but the reality didn't live up to the expectations. It looks great but it's not clear which buildings are original or reconstructions. Disappointing that several buildings were closed including the main one and it seems the majority of the remaining ones are occupied by businesses rather than actual museum pieces.

It’s a port of old town area laid out as a pedestrian access park. Essentially it has a lot of shops and some places to eat and at one end a museum. There are some nice old buildings but it is more of a retail park

Spent a couple of hours wandering around. We took the trolley bus to get here. We are from UK so have an immense amount of history compared to American but it was great to see this sight. Can’t imagine what it would’ve been like when it was the first settlement. Very interesting. Highly recommend

Defiantly worth a visit, easy access from the metro and great place to spend a couple of hours. Safe pedestrian access with plenty of shops and visitor attractions. Cigar and tobacco store is fantastic
