Fun Trolley Tour - Our driver, Mike, was very engaging and entertaining. He greeted each group as we entered and learned domeoabout each. During his dialogue, he would reference various people on the trolley. We started in Old Town at about 2 pm on Oct. 19th.

Reasonable to good. - The tour is useful for those who want to have an overview of San Diego, in a practical and quick way. But the buses are old, with tight seats and no air conditioning. Drivers talk too much and prevent you from talking on board in a normal tone, always asking customers to speak lower, which is inconvenient, because of course what someone who has never been to the city wants is to exchange ideas and impressions about it with their travel partners. Other than that, it's a good Service.

Tourist - Janie was enthusiastic and filled with excitement. As a visitor from a big city, I had higher expectations. More sightings; I wish there was a 10-minute break to take pictures rather than having to find the pick-ups and wait 30 minutes for the next trolley..
