Was disappointed in this hop-on-hop-off tour. Not sure if it was the drivers/tour greeters or what..the music they kept playing was awful! Not up to par with say - the Boston tours.

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Having used the trolley in another city I was not disappointed this time. The driver was very knowledgeable and made the ride fun to be on with his little anecdotes.

This tour was excellent, there were so many stops that are worth getting off at including Coronado and the Old Town. The guides were excellent!

Review by: gmendez	April 2011
This was a fantastic way to hear the history of the local area and get off to see each of the sights. We even considered doing this for a second day to get off at all the places we missed. San Diego is lovely.

This kind of thing is our favorite to do in any city who offers....lots of info, see all the tourist favorites and the ability to get on and off at your leisure. I just wish the trolleys ran every 15 minutes rather than 1/2 hour

Drivers were very good. Never had to wait long for a trolley to pick us up. Two cruise ships were in that day and you seemed to have enough trolleys to handle the crowd.

Excellent! Well worth the money. Driver was friendly, helpful and informative.

We enjoyed our tour of San Diego and particularly liked Coronado. The driver/guide was pleasant and knowledgeable. The only negative was they could have used more trolleys at the various stops, as most stops had too many people waiting. Quite often they weren't able to get on the trolley and consequently, had to wait for the next one. Donna C Toronto, Canada

The Hop on Hop off trolley was an enjoyable experience. It was a great way to see San Diego. Our plan was to not "hop off" until we had completed the complete tour. We wanted to get off at Little Italy, but that was an early stop. We would of had to go through the whole tour again, and we did not want to do that. Seriously, hop AND off.

This was one of the best deals ever. I took this tour with a friend from out of state and we both learned so much about San Diego. Our tour guide was an encyclopedia of information about the neighborhoods and history of this beautiful city. I wish I had all the information from the tour in a written form as it was impossible to remember everything.

I would recommend the hop on hop off trolley in San Diego. It went to all the main spots. Sometines we did have to wait longer than 30 minutes for the trolley. The trolley ride was narrated and gave information on the way.

The best way to see San Diego!

Review by: Kathy L, United States of America	October 2009
This was a fabulous way to see the city in just one day. We stopped at the points we wanted to see, and skipped some that we didn't care about. It's great to not feel rushed, and take all the time you want in each place. Also, it was nice to get an overview of the places we didn't get off in. The drivers were very good with their commentary. I would recommend it for anyone.

I enjoyed being able to hear some of the history, particularly on Coronado Island. However, my husband heard nothing because of a noisy couple near him.

Review by: Christina H, Canada	June 2009
A wonderful trolley tour - saw lots. Maybe a stop in Pacific Beach, Belmont Park, would be good. But very good overall, very good drivers!

Review by: Jacqueline P, United Kingdom	May 2009
A great experience. San Diego Old Town is very interesting and the tour gave us an insight into the rest of San Diego with chances to get off the bus when we wanted to and then get on a later one to complete the tour.

This was a great way to see the highlights of San Diego in just one day--a great overview of the city!

The drivers were knowledgeable and entertaining. It was a great way to learn the layout of the city and helped us decide were we'd like to spend more time.

We had only one day in San Diego, and if you do too, this is the way to the city in a short amount of time, and I mean all of the city. It was really worth it and very enjoyable!

Review by: Anonymous	August 2008
Was ok, its was a bit ruined by people talking over the commentary.

Review by: Mark G, United States of America	July 2008
Lots of fun and learned a lot about San Diego's history in a short time and in a fun way.

Review by: Robert B, United States of America	June 2008
It was fantastic. The scenery was breathtaking. I plan on going back again in the future. We enjoyed the museums and Coronado Island. We did not get the chance to walk around Old Town, so we must go back again to see that. There is so much to do you really need a few days to see it all.

Review by: Lynne G, Australia	April 2008
This is a great way to get a feel of San Diego, and the knowledge of the driver was very helpful.

Review by: Bobbie M, United States of America	January 2008
I just live in Riverside County but truly loved taking the trolley and really getting to see the sites. I would do it again.

Review by: Kate B, United States of America	December 2007
A great way to check out the town in general and know where I want to re-visit on my own. I wish the last pick-ups were later. Also how about stops closer to restrooms?

Review by: Sandy M, United States of America	November 2007
This was a great history lesson; it just got a little corny at times. This is not as good as the one in Key West.

Review by: Deborah C	January 2007
This was my third time on this and I will most likely do it again. It's always fun and informative. The drivers really try to make if fun and interactive and they always go out of their way not to make us wait if there are too many people waiting at a stop. My whole group had a great time. It's a wonderful way to learn about a city's history.

Review by: Sherry R, United States of America	November 2006
We had a blast and learned a lot of San Diego history from the trolley guides. They were each very funny.

Review by: Fatima K, United States of America	July 2006
Both drivers we had on the tour were very enthusiastic and made the trip more enjoyable.
