Great way to see the city and hear the history of you are short on time or of limited mobility- hope for Ryan - We booked on line and collected our tickets just a few minutes walk away from the cruise ship terminal. We stayed on the bus and did a full tour without getting off as I have reduced mobility but our tour guide Ryan was great. Very knowledgeable and made us laugh so many times. We loved San Diego and would definitely look at coming back sometime.

Just fantastic - We booked this 2hr trolley tour through princess cruise. We had a great time we’ve done quite a few ‘tours’ of different cities with different guides but we can honestly say this has been by far the best. Our driver Steve was brilliant, he was engaging and very funny, he added in some sound bites for entertains just brilliant. But on top of all that Steve was knowledgeable and gave us lots of details about the areas we toured it was extremely extremely interesting. We loved San Diego, we will visit and do the tour again.

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.
