That the drivers are not just knowledgeable about their area, but they are funny too. Makes the ride very enjoyable.

Very helpful as my husband has limited mobility. Stop largely occur close to near sitting areas and fairly near attractions. Driver/guides are very friendly and helpful. Chris in particular was quite amusing.

Be prepared to walk!! Going to 11 stops is amazing!! Sometimes having to wait more than 20 minutes for a trolley

Fun day spent in rain storm. Hop on/off and saw the city with young kids (8). Missed the bridge due to high winds but still enjoyed the day and the drivers were entertaining.

It may seem expensive, but it is worth the price! Drivers are very safe, entertaining and incredibly knowledgeable - all of them. You cover ALL of San Diego and Coronado. I've been to both places many times before, but learned SO MUCH MORE about the history and people. Don't miss it.

They were overcrowded on a weekday. Trolleys passed by multiple times. We did not go back for day 2.
