2.San Diego Shore Excursion: Hop-On Hop-Off Trolley Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 88 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $55

A flexible hop-on hop-off trolley through San Diego’s top sights, from Old Town to Little Italy and Balboa Park, with live commentary.

“It was a good tour until “Conductor Jack” started berating my mother about listening to him on the tour. The problem is the information could have been conveyed in a couple of words but was instead delivered in a rant directed at my mother. My family and I (8 passengers) had to exit the vehicle and wait for another trolley (20 minutes.) I have never been treated so poorly as a customer. More training needed.”
