Great way to see the city and hear the history of you are short on time or of limited mobility- hope for Ryan - We booked on line and collected our tickets just a few minutes walk away from the cruise ship terminal. We stayed on the bus and did a full tour without getting off as I have reduced mobility but our tour guide Ryan was great. Very knowledgeable and made us laugh so many times. We loved San Diego and would definitely look at coming back sometime.

Recommend - Great way to see San Diego and the guide was great. It was really easy to do as the stop is by the cruise terminal. The staff at the stop were really helpful.

Just fantastic - We booked this 2hr trolley tour through princess cruise. We had a great time we’ve done quite a few ‘tours’ of different cities with different guides but we can honestly say this has been by far the best. Our driver Steve was brilliant, he was engaging and very funny, he added in some sound bites for entertains just brilliant. But on top of all that Steve was knowledgeable and gave us lots of details about the areas we toured it was extremely extremely interesting. We loved San Diego, we will visit and do the tour again.

Wonderful way to see San Diego - Wonderful tour hitting all the main attractions of San Diego. We rode the trolly twice. The trolly was a nice experience and the drivers were very knowledgeable and funny. We had James, Jim & John.

Ripped off customer - On my ticket it said 1 day pass, on the trolley it says hop on hop off all day tours. On the viator ticket there was no information about a cut off time. I went to take the trolley at 4pm since it say all day tour only to find out the tour is not exactly all day instead it ends at 3pm. For the first time I felt like I was robbed $108.00. I tried to get a reschedule or refund and it never happened, still waiting for that... I would never recommend this tour to anyone and I would never pay for this trolley again. All my other trips went well except this one.
