Good for everyone! - Great way to see San Diego in a day. Everything was smooth from boarding to the finish. All the drivers were informative with their narratives. Stops we're easy to get on and off. Very flexible. Highly recommend.

MEMORABLE - One of the best tours we've taken in all the years we've travelled around the world. We owe it to the fact that we had a truly exceptional tour guide named Frank. Not only was he very knowledgeable but he was extremely entertaining. He got us engaged in the tour and time just flew by. We left feeling like we'd attended a master class on the history and sites of San Diego!

Great way to see the city - Had a 2 day ticket and used it to see a lot of the city. We were able to hop on & hop off a the various locations. The guides were really knowledgeable about the city and also offer recommendations on restaurants and things to do. I would definitely recommend as something to do whilst in the city.

Fun on the trolley - Great way to see Highlights of San Diego in one day . We started at Old Town - great free parking and shopping . We got off 3 stops and walked around at these sites . We liked Sea Port village and had lunch along the water and played the outside playground by the Children’s Museum . Enjoyed an ice cream cone at Coronado island and beach . Tour guides were very engaged and interesting in their discussion. The playing of music was perfectly timed with noisy rides

Efficient way to get around to many sites but start early! - Efficient way to see many parts of San Diego. Unfortunately, we started too late i(around noon) to really benefit from the "Hop Off" options since the last pickups were quite early, We had to stay on board through several stops, finally getting off at Old Town and then taking Uber/Lyft back to our hotel in order to have enough time there. I would have liked the buses to run later. The view from Coronado Bridge is spectacular. The drivers/tour guides were wonderful. Shout out to Paul especially.

There is a sign near the... - There is a sign near the Midway that says Trolly stop 100 feet away, but it doesn't say in which direction. Also, there is nothing on the information that says you need to check in at the Trolly booth. We didn't even see it. The tour itself was great!

Bad guide - The guide/driver named J is abusive and boring. Should find another profession. The other guides (Benjamin, David and Paul) were very good, but this man ruined the entire day with his emotional tirade at me when I scooted over to close a window. Please either send him to anger management and customer service training or give him a desk job.
