Super fun for kids all ages

The tour trolley drivers were very funny and knew a lot about San Diego I have lived in California for all my life and I learned more about San Diego through the hop on and hop off trolley ride. The kids very much enjoyed it and so did I.

Nice trolley ride exploring neighborhoods

I booked with gocity for a 2day city pass and this came free with it. I recommend to do the Gocity and this comes with it totally worth it as it takes you to all the main sites and museums. The driver tells you hostroy and stories. It goes all around the main points of interest. They go even if its cold and raining and people can have snacks while o the trip. The only thing I think the company should do is also hire some bilingual English and Spanish speakers since there were many hispanics that didn't seem to understand a few of the drivers. Could come in handy just a recommendation at least. I totally recommend this trolley tour.

Happy

Get up early enough so that you can get off at every stop and explore what they have to offer you can always get back on the next trolley in 30 minutes or less

Worth every cent!

Worth the price and super convenient to get around the various sites of the city. I would absolutely do it again. Parking at Little Italy or the gas lamp quarter is super expensive, so, being able to just hop on and off a trolley to grab lunch and do some shopping was way more convenient. If you rented a car, I would recommend starting in old town because parking is free and the Mexican food there is amazing.

Bring a light jacket as...

Bring a light jacket as San Diego can be cool in the mornings. The tour guides are funny. The trolleys can be running a little behind schedule, or early. You’ll have fun if you just go with the flow.

Great way to get to know San Diego. Do this first.

Jack was fantastic. He kept us entertained throughout, welcoming everyone on board and sharing tidbits of trivia. We hated to lose him in Old Town. Lizz was quite knowledgeable too.

A Great Tour.

San Diego was one of our ports of call on a recent cruise and we booked this trip independently. It was a great way of seeing the highlights of San Diego. Our driver was great. He was really knowledgeable and entertaining. Thank you. Highly recommended.
