Wonderful tour guide and trolley ride! Highly recommend! Coronado Island and the trip there was so spectacular! The hop on hop off trolley guide made us feel so welcome and we were able to get a wealth of photographs and videos to record our trip!

All of the tour guides were very knowledgeable and good. Plan your day carefully. There are many potential stops and you have to choose the best points of interest in advance.

Great tour round San Diego and plenty of (free) parking at the Old Town stop. The drivers all talked about the history of San Diego as they drove. We got off a few times but you would need to get the two day ticket if you wanted to stop and explore at every trolley stop. It was a really convenient way to see the city and it was great that we didn’t need to worry about parking at the places we visited.
