Description

San Diego is known for its stunning beaches and sunny days, but on this Trolley tour, you will get the chance to see this city from a unique and lesser known perspective—at night! You'll take in romantic views of the city, cruise past notable landmarks, and experience San Diego like you never have before. See why the locals equally love their nights as much as their days in America's Finest City.

Disappointing experience, wouldn’t recommend

Mismanaged tour - despite of booking in advance and making all arrangements, I was told that there are not enough seats on the tour. My parents and I had to sit separately. In addition, the driver (Steven) was quite rude to talk to and showed no interest in accommodating us.

Disappointing Tour for the money

Disappointed in the sights that were highlighted. Very hard to hear the tour guide and not all that we saw was worthy of being on a city night lights tour.

Tour was an hour longer...

Tour was an hour longer than schedule, the tour guide didn’t seem very knowledgeable. Low energy. Stopped in the road with no view for 15 min to stall time and then went an hour over schedule .

I’ll do it again.

Awesome experience, you get to see the city in a different way, you get to experience the city history , and the tour guide does a great job explaining all the different areas where you can hang out and have fun.

Nights lights tour is fun and a great experience

We were in an open windowed trolley “bus” and, Steven, our driver, was fun and informative. Nice bunch of people too. We saw lots of sites in San Diego and drove across the bridge to Coronado and drove by the Hotel del Coronado and stopped at the ferry landing. I recommend this trip!!
