Old Town Trolley Tours of San Diego

This is a very cool tour to take visitors on as a way to see a more historical side to San Diego. It's in a great area with lots to do and great places to eat after!

PROS: Area
CONS:

These tours are the best way of exploring San Diego. At $30 pp they took you out on a narrative tour describing various facts and finds on the history of this beautiful city. The tour driver was funny and knowledgeable and you could get down at a stop to catch the next train. Loved this experience

The Old town trolley tours are a great way to see and know San Diego. The tour guides are well trained and provide many interesting facts and information about the town. You can get on and off at any of the stops and catch the next trolley. They cover many important spots like Sea World, balboa park, seaport village, Lindbergh village to name a few. On holiday weekend, the tours are overbooked and you may have to wait for longer to get into a trolley for the next stop

Experience in the Old Town is none other but if you take this trolley tour, your excitement and joy will be doubled as opposed to walking around. You have a full 2 hours of narrated ride, not just through Old Town but throughout the major San Diego Points - i.e., Balboa Park, San Diego Zoo, Hotton Plaza, etc. Pretty cool!

The Old Town Trolley is a great ride to get on and see San Diego if you are a tourist or new to the San Diego area. The drivers give little facts and information about the sights as you move along the tour route. You can also get on and off the trolley at any of the stops to view more of each destination.

ok, so this is a really touristy thing, but sometimes it's fun to be a tourist in one's own city. Our guide was funny and informative, the ride was comfortable, and the prices were fairly reasonable.

If you are visiting San Diego, I highly recommend visiting Old Town. This tour is more for out-of-towners but I still love it. You get on a trolley and go around the historic town that used to be occupied by Spanish. If you are young, I recommend exploring the whole town on foot as it is not as big as you think. Every block of town will bring you back in time.

Even thought we have lived here for a while there are still aspects of the city you just take for granted. Taking one of these tours is a really great way to learn something new or discover a new area. The prices aren't bad, around $25. Go get to ride in an actual trolley car which is fun! The tour we took was two hours and covered about 100 areas of interest. At some of the shops you are allowed to get off the trolley and explore. VERY highly recommended. Great for families or those who are new in town.

My only experience with this company was last Halloween when I went on the Ghosts and Gravestones Tour. It was awesome. The tour went inside three separate buildings, including the Whaley House in Old Town, as well as the Old Town Cemetary. Definitely shoot for a late night tour if possible. I've done a couple of other ghost tours in other cities, and this was one of the best.

They also offer other historic tours, and shuttle service to several hotels.
