Tourist must do in San Diego ! - This was a great way to explore a new city. The drivers are phenomenal. They give you great information about all of the top sights and throw in hidden gem locations. Discovered a few places we probably would not have found without them. It’s a great way to avoid parking fees and travel to different locations conveniently. If a certain location interest you just hop off and go explore. When you’re done hop back on and go to next location. If you don’t want to hop off you can stay on entire way.

Definitely take the Trolley - At first, I was reluctant to engage in a trolley/tourist experience like this knowing that I could just drive everywhere and get the same thing done, I’m so glad we decided to take the trolley and learn a little bit about the city/area, and the convenience of each location in regards to the sites were more than pleasant. The drivers were very educating and fun.

San Diego Love! - The Trolley tour was great. The tour guides are very knowledgeable about the San Diego scene and do a great job pointing out attractions around the city. We love the openness of the bus because the weather is always awesome. I'd definitely recommend it earlier in your trip because you're able to see places that you may not hop off to see but can return later to walk around. Fun time!

My Kids Loved It - Such an amazing and easy way to see most of the city. Our guide, Nathaniel, was perfect. We had our three kids with us and a tour can be difficult with little ones, but Nathaniel kept them entertained and engaged the whole time we were with him. They were so bummed when it was time for us to get back on another trolley after lunch at SeaPort Village and the driver wasn’t Nathaniel. I will definitely be recommending you to any of my friends that visit San Diego.

Unfortunately our tour... - Unfortunately our tour was scheduled on the first day of our trip, as soon as we arrived in San Diego. Our plane had some troubles and we had to add an extra layover on our trip. As soon as we got to an airport I notified the company of the situation and asked if we could postpone the trip until the next day. Unfortunately, the company would not move my reservation to the next day, even though there were openings on that day. Our refund was denied. I was disappointed under the circumstances, as we had no control of the plane situation.
