Old Town Trolley Tour Highlights: The Old Town Trolley is a trolley on wheels. It is the most popular day-tour option taking visitors to four areas of attractions in and around Downtown San Diego.
Day Tours – Take a seat and enjoy a 2 hour (32 mile) sightseeing ride through Downtown San Diego, Balboa Park, Old Town, and Coronado. The tour is fully narrated by the Trolley Conductors, who are better known as ‘Cast Members’. You can get off at any of 10 stops along the way to explore the San Diego attractions and then hop back on to complete the tour. Buses generally run every half hour. View a map and description of stop locations.
